I have read this before and changed to butter, however, it's so much nicer I am more tempted.  When I was on a diet (that I need to be on now), We bought some of that expensive ,low cholesterol spread, I did not like that at all so did not eat much bread, now we have butter and its so nice, butter on hot toast is so much better in my opinion, than, runny Margery.......

    sorry Margery.....that was my I Pad not me, I meant MARGARINE......

We believe you, Sandy.  Not sure if Margery will.   

Getting cravings for hot toast with lots of lovely butter melting down over my fingers.

I love butter too. One of my favorite memories is of visiting my Grandads fruit and veg shop and having chip butties.
The bread HAD to be cut in doorsteps as it was still warm from the bakers next door. You put a slice of butter in the center of it...that was a slice as it was very cold, straight from the butchers shop/dairy nextdoor on the other side. Then you put five or six (if you could manage it) fat hot greasy chips, from across the road, on top of the slice of butter. You rolled the crusts round to hold everthing in and ate it from below starting at the end (so the drpping butter was not wasted!) YUM
They have never tasted as great when Ive tried to repeat the recipie elsewhere must the added ingredient of memory.

I thought everyone knew that marge was the devils business?


Butter every time.

I live in a caravan though and in winter butter is akin to bricks .

ha,    same here, our house is always freezing and we have to slice the butter which is probably why we go through it so quickly.

Even in my kitchen the butter is like a brick.... And the olive oil is so solid I can't get it out of the bottle!

I love butter - don't buy anything else and if I get my @rse in gear, we'll be making our own next summer. Cannae wait 

[Lesley Silvester]

I would make my own if I could but separators are so expensive and probably not worth it for the amount of milk I get.

Our separator came form the Ukraine, cost about 100quid incl delivery, works well (doing about 10ltrs max at any one time) and I am sure we are now quids in - although we mainly use the cream for cooking, icecream making and ....ahemmm in my coffee

You don't have to get a separator, we don't have one and we make butter. Leave your milk in the fridge for 24 hours, in a wide dish. Use a shallow spoon, and draw it across the top of the milk to lift off from the milk/buttermilk. You won't get it all the same way you would with a separator, but gather it up for few days, and you will get enough to make a little butter.

I have tried doing that but even after a few days there is very little so I don't think her butter fat content is very high.  That's even when I don't give in to the temptation to eat the cream.
