skycat 6,173 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Well this has been really interesting, and I DO have a life! We stopped buying marge abut a year ago, just went off the brilliant yellow colour and the slimy taste of it, AND we were using Flora, not just any old margarine! Now we buy Lurpak spreadable, and I've noticed that if you cook with it you get a lot less spitting and spluttering than y0u do if you cook with Flora, which after all has got to be mostly water by the amount of spitting that comes out of the pan as the water gets evaporated. Please will someone do some research on Lurpak spreadable and find out if it it is as healthy as pure butter! Real butter would be even better, but when you have dogs like ours you daren't leave anything out of the fridge at all unless it is over 6 feet off the ground........and even then the bloody cat would probably get up there, eat half then knock the rest on the floor for the lurchers. I'm sure they work as a a team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yep same here! I always loved Ankor butter, I remember going round a old Farmers a good few years back shooting Rabbits with a Air Rifle and by the afternoon the old lady came out and brought me some crackers with thick yellow butter on them! I tell you it was the strongest butter I have tasted and really tastey, I spoke to her afterwards and asked her what Butter it was and she said its Ankor but we leave it to go a bit Rank , Basically just leaving it to mature in the butter dish. Since then I have done the same and left it in a butter dish with the lid on for a while and there is no doubt about it, it gets yellower and tastes stronger. Has anyone on the list made any home made Butter? I would love to give it a go but I have no idea... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Jasper; See above, mate. We now have the method. Comes the summer, I'll have the means ~ when my female Sanaan drops and rids herself of her kids I'll make some genuine Goats Milk Butter and shall send ye some. Time that reaches ye, courtesy of An Poste and Royal Mail, it should be rank enough to be classed as Most Powerful Butter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Bondy; Figure it out, mate. If ye can't believe it's not butter, got to be a fair bet ye could believe it's just one molecule away from plastic! Bin the shit, mate! Frank; That - about ye digestion - reminds me of a conversation I had only last night! Pardon me bringing such into this conversation but; I was telling a mate how cannabis resin needs to be dissolved in milky stuff. Like, water won't do. This is something I picked up donkeys years ago, in my youth. But milk or butter is the order of the day. So, work it out; Cannabis resin is, basicly, oil. Milk breaks down oil. Next bacon sarnie I eat? I want BUTTER on it! Funny; Millions upon millions of our ancestors were brought up eating butter. How come They didn't drop like flies to massive coronary occlusions, 'caused by it'? Now we eat 'Marg' and die of cancer?! Methinks we've spotted the naked emporer, lads!

Guest Macnas Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm just amazed at the number of people who ate marg in preference to butter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
