I rarely eat butter at home. I eat it with corn on the cob. If there is no sour cream I might put it on a baked potato (this is rare). Rarely I put it on asparagus or green beans (if some is in the fridge).


In restaurants:
I don`t touch the melted butter served with lobster or fish in restaurants.
If the bread is good, I'll eat all the bread & butter on the table.

To help keep my cholesterol under control I generally use "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter"

If we go out to a restaurant I will ask for margarine or not use a spread at all

I put it on everything, especially shellfish.

Steam up a pound of jumbo lump blue crab meat, add touch of old bay and salt, and drown it with a stick or two.

About as good as it gets.

After you cut your teeth on butter, you can start getting serious about lardo.

I love butter, buy my cholesterol doesn't. About the only thing I use it in is mashed potatoes. My wife uses it in baking, but luckily, she doesn't bake that much.

Butter......my wife rarely buys it, but I LOVE it too. Goes great on most anything...........

We've recently decided to try to get a bit healthier - you know, cut down on beef and pork, more fish and chisken, etc. Re: butter - Wee've gon back to margarine (Brummel and Brown) for toast and such but I have yet to find a margarine/spread that will cook like butter. I don't fry much and use mostly olive oil when I do but certain recipes just need butter.

I use I Can't Believe its not Butter usually. I always have a pound of butter on hand though. 3 sticks in the freezer and one stick in the fridge. I use it on just about everything. Julia Childs did until the day she died, so thats what I'm going to do.

OK, I'm trippen out.

I ventured over to this side of the forum, after 6+months of watchin and participating in the "other" forum and what have I found?

Hydragoat and Vision talking about butter. For the love of pete. This throws my simple world assunder.

I can't comprehend.

I like butter, i like honey-butter. I coat dinner rolls at restaurants in it. I am not healthy, and i probably should not use a lot of it.

I love butter. When I moved from the States to Montreal I was surprised at how much better the butter tasted here. I was told that Canadian laws allow for a different processing method-which in turn provides a fresher taste.

Really? Can you name a good brand or two?

I bathe in butter. I'm attempting to get my arteries hard enough to make me bullet proof.

I really like the Lactantia "My Country Churned Cultured Butter" ant the Lactantia "Salted Cultured Antique Butter" It's like...well, Butter!

The thing with butter is that it can be used without any health problems. This is using it for seasoning, rather than actually in the food. For example, when making a steak, add a knob of butter and baste the steak. Very little will be absorbed, but the caramelisation of the milk solids will take the steak/any meat to another level when making a sauce, don't fry anything in butter, use oil, and at the end add a small knob of cold butter to season the sauce and give it body, flavour and a shine.

Let's talk about butter!

For some reason this just makes me giggle.

Smart Balance, hands down the best butter subsitute I've ever had.

The same taste, smell, texture, and color as butter. Also some of the other butter products that they make, as well as peanut butter, and mayo.

I eat all the butter I want. Real butter, with everything it goes with. Potatoes, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, meat, bread, shellfish, fish...whatever. What the Hell good is living longer if I can't enjoy it? The French enjoy pounds and pounds of butter and real cream without health effects. Americans are sorely off-track and have the blandest palate in the world. Go back to real food.

I love butter on everything and only real butter , none of that "this isnt real butter" so its good for you crap. I like garlic butter on my steak , and I also love cinnamon butter on my rolls.

Maybe there should be butter flavored cigars?
