Butter/low fat spreads....

[Smowball]

Which one do you buy, and do you always buy the same one?
I love Lurpack light, tastes just like butter IMO.

[craft1948]

I love local farm butter on crumpets, pikelets, and muffins...........

[chaptazbru]

I like toast and jam with butter - yum !
Yes and crumpets too ...

You've been watching that Johnny Rotten ad crafty.

Asda extra special Brittany Butter with sea salt crystals, my treat to myself.

[craft1948]

I love how nowadays you have low fat butter, low fat milk, low fat cheese etc..............and half the population are overweight.

As far as I can recall I have only bought a low fat spread once, when I had a very difficult visitor.

I buy Yeo Valley organic butter.

I never butter bread for sandwiches and rarely have toast so butter is for cooking and none of the plastic spreads are an adequate substitute for butter.

[friedgreentomato]

there is no such thing as a spread that tastes like butter - it has to be butter each time

[momac]

Lurpak butter every time for me...I wouldn't eat anything else..I should imagine eating margarine would be like eating plastic.

[funnygirl]

I love unsalted butter. I only have butter as a treat my normal spread is lurpak.

Tilly2: I have used Benecol spread and taken a Benecol drink every day for just over a year as in March 2011 my fasting cholesterol level was 6.3.
Was re-tested in May 2012 and guess what the level was then? Yes, 6.3.
So I have abandoned the expensive Benecol products................

If anyone can tell me of 'spread' that really does taste like butter, PLEASE let me know. I have tried them all and none comes even close. I think 'clover' is the least bad .

[chi-chi66]

Lurpack....no salt.

[Smowball]

I could eat crumpets with real butter right now!

[slinkycat]

I use the Olive spread from Aldi, but to be honest I scrape on and scrape off when making sandwiches so its hardly worth using at all!
Has to be proper butter when cooking.

I used to buy flora light but I've gone off the taste so I now buy Lurpak Lighter and Lurpak Lightest. I tried making a white sauce with the Lightest one and it turned out horrible. I always make it with Lurpak Lighter now and it turns out perfect every time.

Jumbo, thanks for the information about Benecol. The spread and the drinks cost a fortune. I'll tell my husband to just take his statins and I'll buy a cheaper alternative. He doesn't actually like the taste of butter.

[rowanwitch]

lurpak for us... just use a bit less

[naomi24]

I don't buy low fat anything. Real butter every time.
