which is more fatening, butter or half and half? (frozen, addiction, creamy)

[thedwightguy]

Actually, *** butter is way better.
I'm not kidding.
Fat content unkown.

Well I just googled "butter in coffee" and came up with a ton of links. Like this:

What's the Deal with Butter in Coffee? | The Kitchn

The consensus appears to be unsalted butter. I've done half and half, no sugar, in my coffee for decades. I may try this just to see how it tastes.

I'll just stick with the half and half. Any white stuff in a pinch, though. I've used milk, Coffee-mate, whipped cream and ice cream. Unsalted butter would probably work.

Half and Half is 12% fat
Heavy whipping cream is 38% fat

So, I'd much rather have cream or half and half in my coffee than a lump of greasy fat.

Since you have NEVER done it, how would YOU know? Many of us have done it for years.

Solid at room temp is a clue.

Oh yeah those label thingys will help also. LOL

I have tried european unsalted sweet cream butter in my coffee. Tasted fantastic. American butter doesnt taste the same.

But when you churn it, a lot of liquid comes out, which accounts for the higher fat content of butter.

Nor have I eaten rabbit pellets - but I can guarantee I wouldn't like those either .

It would depend on the quantity used. I don't use either but I would think butter could be overused more then half and half. Sometimes when I have been out at a restaurant veggies will be swimming in butter for example if you don't order it plain.

Isn't butter in coffee parrt of the Paleo fad?
