This thread has unlocked a childhood memory of a spoof advert that creased me up... think it might've been in a Monty Python or Young Ones book and it was essentially a propaganda piece about how butter was stored in open vats under rafters and thus full of pigeon shit and cigarette butts.
It was presented on behalf of the Margarine Marketing Board.
However, my google fu is weak tonight and despite a good bit of searching, can't find the damn thing.
That said, I'm not easily roped in by adverts and school got to me 1st with the thing where you get a bottle of full cream milk and turn it into butter...
Butter, no question!
Marg* usually, butter for cooking. Can't keep butter out of the fridge for half the year here, it'd be a puddle.
* And I'm using the word marg just to piss @Cougar off.
Margarine (still) doesn’t exist in the UK
Which is why the place is so infested by rats. Margarine might be a killer, but it targets the old and the weak so it will leave the rest of us better off, unless you like eating toast dripping with melted butter.
Life’s too short for margarine.
Countrylife, Anchor or Aldi clone of; like posh tea I'm having it as a luxury in lieu of overly milky coffee.
I used to love St. Ivel Gold as a bairn, could have it half an inch thick, on some dirty chorleywwod bread, another thing the food snobs love to hate!. 🙂
Butter. Margarine and vegetable oil spreads are man made nastiness. Full of chemicals and things made in laboratories.

UUrrrghhhh vile stuff. Mrs FB's parents used to have that when I first started going out with her. She thought I was addicted to marmite as I had to layer it an inch think on the toast to cover the taste of that abomination.
Butter all the way. If it's good enough for Marlon Brando....

Ah, cover the taste of dog piss with some dog shite, happy days!

[b]jeffl[/b] - came here to post exactly that. Naturli is great, and no palm oil either.

Gets good reviews on Sainsbury's website and saw they sell a butter style 'block' as well which would be handy for cooking.
The most important thing though - does it really taste like butter?
@retro83 it's the closest thing I've found to butter. Not 100% the same but probably somewhere near 75%
Agreed - I'll happily eat it spread thickly on a slice of doorstop white farmhouse just as I would have butter.
Norpack or Muckyfat
@jeffl - Naturli was recommended by the owner of a local cafe. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was and would recommend anyone to give it a try regardless of their existing preferences.
