Around here butter is cheaper than "I can't believe it's not Butter", and
other similar products. For the certified tightwad it's pretty difficult not
to buy butter. Just make sure you keep your LDL less than 100.

If there are people who are nostalgic about the taste of margarine, they
may also be nostalgic for the sound of falling bombs.

There was a wartime nostalgia chic some years back, where Spam dinners and
ersatz coffee were served to former servicemen on Parliament Hill here in
Ottawa. Thank the gods that died away.

We bought margarine for years (Olivina, mostly, part olive oil) but lately
we have been buying unsalted butter. I much prefer it although we do keep
a container of the margarine around (in case we run out of butter ;-) ). I
don't cook with butter though. I cook with pure (not VOO, EVOO, XVOO or
what have you) olive oil for eggs, vegetables and meats, and safflower oil
for breads and crêpes.

My mother ate butter every day and she lived to be 87.

I don't know the reason but my mom bought margarine too. My
grandparents were farmers and we spent lots of time with them. They
had dairy cows and my grandmother made her own butter and bread. We
loved fresh warm bread loaded with fresh butter. She also made jams
and jellies.

Are you testing the clock on your computer? Or is that the date you
plan to die from eating so much deep fried butter on Popsicle
sticks?

The first summer we were married, we lived on my husband's grandparents
farm with them. They had their own cow and made butter from the cream. It
didn't taste like store bought butter, way too salty, and I never liked
it.....Sharon

I think it's been done:

It was also offered at the Florida State Fair according to my quick
google.

The very thought of it makes my teeth hurt. <g>

Well I hope it didn't taste like store bought. My grandfather had a
bad heart and died of a heart attack at 52. He was on a salt free
diet for years before he died. My granny made a salt free batch for
him. We had the salted and even as a very young kid it was better
than store bought. It's too bad you didn't like it. I was just
talking to my mom and mentioned this. She never had commercial butter
until she got married in the 50's.

I didn't feel comfortable about bringing up the subject with Gramma since
I was young and just married. I just avoided using it. In later years, I
could have asked her to do a batch with less salt. She was a
sweetheart.....Sharon
ps...they both lived into their eighties
