In Australia (same in NZ?), to be called Margarine a spread must be at least 80% fat. Anything less than that is an 'edible oil spread'.
In the UK and some other countries, by law, margarine must contain certain ingredients in strict proportions, or it can't be called margarine. For details, see here.

Hiya Icey. xx

I was at the grocery store & was buying some. Saw none of the tubs were called Margarine. Wondered why, as it used to be called that.
I know why you asked that Q MWB
Because you dond spread like you use to.
I don't either marg, butter or any type of spread on bread, but you have as point - I don't think I've seen the word margarine for ages.

Spread on bread.

Icey, you're a poet & you don't know it.

You can rhyme all the time! Lol.
It's just that I should - or just that I could. Well maybe I would, and put marg in my pud?

Maybe that first rhyme was a one off, Icey................

Better not do anymore, eh?
