/ck/ - Food & Cooking

We ate it growing up. You can keep it in the fridge and it still easily spreadable. I just use butter now. Butter is far more expensive than vegetable oil products, which is the real reason it was pushed so hard (cheaper cost of manufacture).

I get the cheapest unsalted real butter a store offers.

The prejudice against margarine is, in truth, a hatred against the poor.

I like it, and it's healthier for one.

>>13654292
It’s for the lactose intolerant.

>>13654295
straight up standard kerrygold is fairly spreadable straight from the fridge.

Cheap store brand butters are a pain in the ass to spread without leaving them out for a bit though.

>>13654328
kerrygold is retarded

i am not paying double the price for butter

yes, it is cultured, but it isn't that different and I go through a lot of butter

it is a status item more than anything, unbranded generic unsalted butter, please

>without leaving them out for a bit though.

i just put it in a bowl in the microwave for a little bit

i don't really honestly spread butter on toast that often except for when I make cinnamon toast

>>13654312
But that wasn't a thing way back then, it's just something new to sell fancy expensive products.

>>13654335
I personally agree about kerrygold, I do buy the kerrygold knock off from aldi though.

>>13654344
complete waste of money

buy the cheapest butter you can get that's still real butter (not the mixed with oil shit)

you will never taste the difference it is all in your head

I saw a black woman in the supermarket the other week buying Kerrygold by the stick because it is too expensive to buy in 4 8 oz stick packages like normal butter comes in. It is entirely a status item.

>>13654348
grain fed vs grass fed definitely makes a difference

>>13654340
You were a kid 130 years ago? I only said that because i knew a family of Jews when I was growing up and they always had margarine and never butter because they are lactose intolerant.

>>13654348
lmao, no.

I can 100% taste the difference on toast between the $2.99 store brand and the aldi kerrygold knockoff. Grass fed makes a big difference.

I also occasionally buy Finlandia.

And during the holidays I buy an 8lb container of local farm butter and use it liberally for anything that needs butter, mashed potatoes, basing a turkey or roast, making a sauce, etc.

>>13654358
You absolutely cannot taste the difference it is all in your head.

You are just wasting money on fancy branding to feel better about yourself.

I use the cheapest unsalted butter for baking and it works great.

>>13654354
Jew here. Butter does not contain much lactose afaik.

>>13654352
no it doesn't you are just paying more

>>13654354
I was exaggerating for the sake of argument.
I'm actually 89 yo.

>pennypinching over butter
just lmao

it's so cheap per calorie. you will definitely waste more money paying for a drink somewhere than you will on a pound of good butter

>>13654359
>You absolutely cannot taste the difference it is all in your head.
You're fucking insane if you believe there is ZERO difference in taste between low tier store brand butter and grass fed butter from a decent brand.


Also, the farm butter i buy at the holidays isn't really all that expensive, it's $5/lbs Which sure, is more than standard butter, but it's still $3-4/lbs cheaper than kerrygold.

>>13654368
I mean if you bake regularly you are going to use a lot of it. There's no sense in wasting money on fancy butter when regular butter works just as well.

>>13654377
I believe you cannot tell the difference in finished products. Up to you to prove you actually could in a blind tasting.

>>13654307
They actually say it is less healthy now. Who the fuck really knows. They go back and forth on this kind of thing all the time.

>>13654380
>I believe you cannot tell the difference in finished products
no shit, i still use cheap store brand butter for anything that the butter flavor doesn't mean jack shit for.

Except during the holidays when i have the farm butter because it's the holidays and i'm being decadent.

Most baked goods for example, i use cheap shit store brand butter.

If i'm making butter croissants or something, i'm gonna use good butter.

>>13654292
I used to eat Margarine because everyone said that real butter has too much fat but real butter just taste 100 times better than margarine and it's something that you don't eat in big quantities.

>>13654388
Croissants you cannot tell the difference. Look, it isn't my money to waste, but I would use the cheapest unsalted butter for everything.

>>13654395
nah margarine is just cheaper to manufacture than animal products and it is more spreadable cold

>>13654292
>>13654395
I eat this one. Is a spanish brand I think.

all these brandcucks wasting money on a fancy label and marketing terms

goyim, I

>>13654401
>it is more spreadable cold
Yeah, that's true, you can't leave butter in the fridge.

>>13654348
Why the fuck did you feel the need to specify that you saw a "black woman"?

>>13654401
>Croissants you cannot tell the difference
You can

I've done it both ways, and with margarine too.

The butter flavor on the tongue after eating it is much nicer and smoother with better butter.

Obviously it's not a huge deal to most people, but i'm not selling these bitches, i eat em.

>>13654415
because i think they are dumber and more prone to following trends that waste their (often minimal) money

its like buying a fancy purse when you are on food stamps

i think they fall for marketing trix more easily

>>13654418
you weren't doing actual blind tasting

>margine vs butter

yes this you can taste, I wasn't suggesting that

but butter is butter

you can absolutely taste cultured vs non cultured butter on bread, but that's not worth paying extra for for the most part

>>13654410
i mean so the REAL advantage was you could store margarine in the fridge and spread it on toast without having to leave butter out and the health stuff was just made up

also producing margarine is WAY cheaper industrially than making butter

>>13654410
Ehm, you can. I believe most of us butter connoisseurs do. We just take it out of the fridge couple of minutes before spreading.
Nobigdeal.tiff

>>13654446
to be honest, nicer butter generally spreads easier.

kerrygold for example spreads very easily at fridge temp.

>>13654504
and you pay double the price for that privilege

>>13654507
i'm not saying it isn't a lot pricier. but i also don't use it on a ton of things, just where it needs it. Bread being my biggest use.

>>13654519
But that's retarded, I use butter on everything and don't care because it is affordable. Stop wasting your money on fucking butter you worthless cattle slave.

>>13654530
lmao kerrygold is affordable too, im not gonna fuck die over an extra $3-4 a week.

>>13654536
that's wasting 200 dollars a year

I go through a lot of butter for cooking and baking and there's zero reason to pay more

double a cheap staple item is still cheap

>>13654547
do any of you actually do your own cooking/baking?

>>13654551
look you poor fatass, apparently you bake a lot of cookies so just use your cheap butter and shut up already. wow some people like the better tasting butter wow so hard to understand

>>13654557
it doesn't actually taste better it is all in your head

grass fed is just a marketing term

>>13654543
again faggot, listen to what i'm saying, i only use it where it's needed.

Jesus you fucking retard, MOST of my butter is $2-3lbs, not $8/lbs kerrygold.

I buy 2lbs of cheap butter every week and half a pound of kerrygold every week or two.

Who gives a fuck about chump change like this when it comes to what i eat EVERY fucking day?

I'd much rather have better tasting butter than have a bit more money.

>>13654557
Buu..but i thought i was hardcore.
Stop being being mean to me..bwaaahhh

>>13654568
>where it's needed

aka I don't even use butter to cook or bake with im some boomer who only spreads it on storebought bread

i bet you eat a lot of fast food

>when it comes to what i eat EVERY fucking day?

>frequent expense

>who cares

ask how i know ur a goy

>>13654575
why aren't you eating pure rice and beans then you stupid faggot.

less than $2 a day in expenses that way.

>>13654580
im not gonna waste money on something that makes no actual difference to my life

keep a stick of butter out on the counter

rest on the fridge

i regularly make butter doughs for breads and cakes and cookies and such and I am not wasting a cent more than I need to

>>13654559
Even if (and it's not)it's in our head, why would you care? A lot of food is perceptions and looks and expectations.
Get over it.

>>13654584
who is forcing you to use kerrygold in baked shit where it wont matter?


who hurt you anon?

>>13654594
Because i can save money and buy other things that matter more.

>>13654599
I just feel bad people are wasting money and Kerrygold is hoarding undeserved shekels.

Most consumers are uneducated and dum and fall for marketing hype and propaganda, not ingredient lists and costs per oz.

>>13654606
so you're an SJW

getting butt hurt on MY behalf because i'm too stupid to do it myself.

Thanks anon, i appreciate it.

>>13654619
ur a nazi i get it

you are getting butthurt because I won't waste money on status and labels like you do because it makes you look bad

>>13654625
better than being mentally ill

>>13654631
mental illness is a spook
