Butter or Margarine (cookie, vegetable, recipes, tasty)

[~NeonFire~]

I generally use margarine though I don't use either that much.

Thought this might be an interesting topic. My room mate did some shopping for me, and I requested 3 lbs. of butter. So...that's what I got--3 bricks. Had I been more specific, and requested a "tub" of butter, then she probably would have brought back a container of MARGARINE.

I use them interchangeably, without thinking. What about you?

While butter does taste better, I try to use a healthier version of margarine. But on those rare occasions when we have crab legs, forget it, bring on the butter!

Don't use margarine. Butter only, but in moderation

I remember years ago reading a Donna Aston book about diet and she went into detail about how they make margarine. I've never eaten it since.

I don't always have butter but I NEVER have margarine.

I use other "spreads" and flavourings like low fat cream cheese, tzatziki, lemon juice, avocado, chutney, relish, and hommus in sandwiches or on vegetables.

Generally I only have butter on toast.

Buttah only in moderation.

butter anything else is just a poor substitute....oh how I wish I knew how to make the sweet cream butte my grandmother used to make in her churn, now THAT was some good butter.

Butter only. Margarine is nothing but lard.

Margarine is not lard.

Margarine is hydrogenated vegetable oil with artificial color, flavor, and chemical preservatives.
