Default Let's hear it for Plugra

You don't even have to speak French, to love a butter producer that calls
its butter MoreFat.

At least that's what I thought as it dripped off my popover and onto my
fingertips.

Got much harder to obtain around here. For a short time W(China)Mart was
selling it for little more than 'normal' butter. A one-lb pack in a red
wrapper. That didn't last long. Now the few places that still sell it,
price the half-pound pack for what 'normal' butter sells per pound. Foil
wrapper must account for that difference

It is nice though. More like the butter with which I grew up.

I used to plug Plugra all the time here, but they've jacked up their
retail prices so high - twice as much as traditional butter - that's
its no longer justifiable. There are other regular butters out
there that taste just as good, and when a product is 80+% butterfat
to begin with, the added 2% fat isn't really noticeable.

Oh, there are some really good butters around -- KerryGold and Kate's, for
two -- but sometimes, well, one cares enough to spread the very best!

More for you. I don't like cultured butter. It always tastes weird,
yogurty
and spoiled to me.

Cultured butter? Huh. Can't say I've noticed Plugra on the shelves,
but I'm familiar with the name so it must be sold around here.

I don't think there's many cultured butters out there anymore (not
in the US). P{Lugra isn't one of them.

But I may be misunderstanding the use of "cultured". I know there's
cultured buttermilk, albeit a fake culture.

Vermont Butter is one place that does make cultured butter, and it's pretty
fine stuff. http://www.vermontcreamery.com/

Yep. I usually keep an emergency supply in the freezer. God forbid there
should ever be a Plugra shortage.
