Butter

[Northland]

I was in conversation the other day when a man commented on butter. Turns out he first was introduced to butter as a child and since then has been unable to accomplish anything when he is out of butter.


So, my questioning mind began to wonder-are there others who cannot function when out of butter? And what are your feelings about butter? Is it a midnight treat? An aphrodisiac? A sex partner? Does the level of yellow alter how you make decisions? Come on-tell us all about it. Has margarine ever proven to be an adequate substitute?

I love butter, I'm not happy unless I have 5 or 6 pounds of backup in the freezer!

NZ .. Margarine man here Northland
I switched over maybe 15 years ago ..probably addicted to it now?
Butter is far superior tho/just cant seem to get back into it/apart from my Baking
Fonterra Nzs largest Corp and Dairy Products manufacurer (the 3 Directors in that China Milk Powder Melamine scandal should be prosecuted along with those Chinese currently being so)
Assholes apparently knew all along/another Corporate cover up..all they were concerned about was losing there 43% stake..or whatever it was...GOOD job as the Assholes lost it all anyway..140mil?

Nothing comes close to butter.

Can't use butter. I don't miss it.

I switched to butter from margarine as soon as I moved out on my own many years ago. I just never liked the unnatural yellow color and the idea of putting something so unnatural into my body. I also prefer real sugar as opposed to sugar substitutes.

Margarine, won't touch it. A proper sandwich to me has toasted bread with plenty of butter.

does not make for a good lube.

does not make for a good lube.

That's why there was a can of Crisco next to everyones bed in the 70's...remember?

I try to have salted AND unsalted butter on hand at all times. But if I run out, nothing untoward happens.

 

[Pecker]

If I run out of butter, nothing works. The car won't start, the TV won't turn on, the toilet won't flush.

To prevent these tragedies I buy a new box as soon as I open a fresh package of butter.

I rarely eat butter. I don't even like it on popcorn.

This is one of the oddest conversations I've been a part of. I don'y have a preference. Butter, margerine, whatever. As long as it has a buttery taste, I'm good. Can't say Ireally even think about it. Though, come to think of it. If I do need it for some reason, and we're out, it is quite infuriating. Hmmm, intersesting.

As a side note:
Oh_Yeah, your new Avatar is freakin HOT.

Butter and olive oil (all three presses) only.

Spot on K8. Over here you have to churn it yourself.

lol nudeyorker. Back then I walked in on a mate lubing up with Dippity Doo for some bird. The visual is still troubling.

 

[prepstudinsc]

Everything is better with butter!

 

[BlackCock85]

Don't see what the big deal is.....I try to have butter as little as possible, doesn't seem like the healthiest thing to me.

 

[D_Ireonsyd_Colonrinse]

Wow. An entire thread devoted to butter.

I think this means there's a definate lull in the conversation here.


I guess the only substantive thing I can add to the dialogue is: don't substitute butter (or mayonaise) as lube. Even in emergencies. Butter, Crisco and mayonaise should remain food items.
