When I was in the guards, they just cut up cubes of butter and tossed them into a pot of water. I have no idea how long they are good that way since we always tossed them out after a meal.

This's the same concept...but without the waste. And your butter doesn't get bitter, which is better, eh? ;)

You know this means war, Lulu !!!! Vegemite is part of the Australian religion, a sacred site, a holy cow, an icon of DownUnderness. It is our Australian equivalent to your lot's Baring your Arms - right up to the elbow. It is part of the fabric of society as we know it... life, library and the pursuit of hippiness. It is essence of wombat, bottled sulphur crested cockatooo juice, it is the prowess of our cricketers. It is our national anthem, the delicate droppings of Matilda the boxing kangaroo gracing our flag. It is what gives us - man and boy - our laid back, laconic humour, our bronzed freckled toothy grins. Our ocker attitude. Struth and bung a bunyip in a billabong!!!!

It is VEGEMITE.

I love butter, and the best butter in the world is Irish Kerrygold butter, so there, you know its true. God I think I have never posted in this famous old thread before, what a thrill!



Oh, I am a Marmite/Vegimite disliker, sorry, but I am, they are horrid! Blurrghhhh! :p

Don't know actually, apart from Irish ones. I could find out I suppose, I do live in the countryside after all, though its more tillage and horses round here than pasture. I dunno what way they make Kerrygold, but it is lovely, one of the best they say. Actually apparently its possible for really expert dairy farmers to tell the different "accents" of cows from around the British isles, apparently an Irish "Moo" is completely different from an English West Country "Moo" or a Suffolk "Moo", or a Scottish Highland "Moo". Dunno meself, I am not a bovine expert, but its an interesting idea init? :wah:

I think we should investigate this further, we have already been popularizing brussel sprouts and discussing marmalade, so I don't see why we cant all debate this cow moo issue like mature adults. :wah:

Here in the States they have been advertising California Cheese. Really hilarious commercials. They show a herd of cows enjoying the earthquakes. Like a foot massage. Complaining they dont last long enough. and shows the ground splitting.

California is not really known for its dairy products. More so for wine and veggies.

Well I found the thread..:wah:

I refrigerate butter, but keep it in that compartment in the door. Margarine I just put on the fridge shelf.

Butter is a pain in the butt though when you refrigerate sometimes, because it becomes such a hard block. Not making for easy spreadness. So if I am having a formal dinner at my place, I will leave it out for a few hours beforehand so that my dinner companions can actually use it instead of just sticking a block of butter on their bread.

I saw someone mention peanut butter...ack! I'm deathly allergic. :wah: Have to carry one of them Epi-Pen needles around all the time.

So you don't like cheese or butter? Thats a lot of dairy right there, what about milk? You do like yogurt though, I know that!

I try running around with a young cocker spaniel, its pretty good exercise actually, and after xmas we all need it. My biggest fall-down is cheese and crackers, I am a sucker for all things cheesy, which I know you don't like, so at least you don't have that problem. :)

Oh yes, she (I know its the wrong gender), is a black cocker, and with her long ears she looks a little like that lovelable little hobbit. So whats your favourite chocolate? Leonidas? Green & Blacks, ever tried Butlers Irish Chocolates? They are rather good as well. :rolleyes:

Snow and squirrels are fine, you can like the bunnies (and I will try and be nice to the little promiscuous freeloaders). Anyway, lets stay on topic here, if we go off on one on this thread, we will get beaten up. This is a serious thread. Butter, actually there is a farmers market in town, and they sell fresh salted butter from the farm, its fanastic! :)

Anyway, butter - why does it have to be on everything? It's on pre-packed sarnies, baked potatoes and it even seems to cause problems trying to get an unbuttered roll from the chippy!

I know, it's because people don't cater for abnormal people like me who don't partake of butter-love. That's just anti-dairyist, that is!

You can tell I've been serious all morning huh?:wah:


I think there is a pair of us in it really, so don't take all the blame, but lets not start this early in this thread. :-6

It is quite strange to come across someone who doesn't like butter, its a pretty common thing I guess, but you know its probably healthy as we all tend to have far too much fatty food in our diets nowadays.

As for butter love, you have obviously never seen "Last Tango in Paris" :lips: (right I am leaving that subject alone now).

When I was working for the railroad we transported butter for the federal government to hand out for poor people. All that butter had to be kept at -10F. Freezing point of water is 32 F .So you can see they wanted it very very cold. Since butter dont truly freeze, the purpose of such cold storage is to keep the butter from becoming rancid. I do love real butter. We had a cow and made our own when I was young. Later I had to buy margarine at the store and in the early days the dairy lobby got a law passed that no one could make colored margarine. So you knew you were not getting butter. But they gave you a dye packet with the margarine so you could color it yourself. Later on they actualy put the dye packet insdide the plastic bag of margaine so you could just smash it and squish it around to color it. Never have really like margarine as much as butter but there are some kinds that rival it in taste and are much easier to spread.

RIGHT! Margarine is terrible stuff! If you can't serve butter, don't use anything! There's nothing better than hot, buttered, 100% whole-grain toast with a little peanut butter.

Heavenly.

I almost never eat white bread. I have grown to like the taste of whole wheat much more than white. And yes, just toast with butter is great. I once thought I had to have jelly on it but not now.

I just made a trip to the liquor store and got me a pair of tiny calendars that stick to the side of my PC. I was embarrassed to learn it was the girls birthday who works for her mom there. I am so bad at remembering dates. She told me they had to zip strip one guy at her New Years eve party. He was drunk and was going to drive home. So they hogtied him. She got photos.
