When I was a kid in CT we always kept butter out at room temp in a dish. It never went rancid but a stick never lasted more than a few days. There was only one time in about ten years that something seemed off, and for whatever reason the only thing I could think of when I tasted it was 'motor oil'
>I was 11 or so who fucking knows why that came about, maybe the whole scent > taste connection
Since moving south afterwards I've never kept butter out. No real reason, but I certainly never got sick as a kid with room temp butter. Plus, it's great to have easy spreading real butter. Fuck oleo that shit's cancer in a tub
