Which brand of butter tastes best?

I'm a northener and I like Anchor, spread about an inch thick on a doorstep of HM bread :drool:

My equally northern DSis, on the other hand prefers Lurpak in a barely there scrimped scraping

Luckily, we don't share a house or there would be butter wars every breakfast time :rotfl:

Definitely Lurpak for me - and I'm Sussex born and bred, no Northern blood in me!

Tesco own brand butter is usually cheaper than branded butters and I can't tell the difference.

I go for whatever is on offer, but tend to prefer Anchor or Countrylife.

I lived in Belgium for 2 years and wasn't keen on their continental style (President included) butters. They don't put as much salt into them I found, and their bread was unsalted too, so very bland.

I can tolerate Lurpak though now, although years ago couldn't. I think it's more about what you've grown up with. Our house was always Anchor.

I think its all personal preference. I mainly use butter for cooking and occasionally on crumpets so go for Tesco Value unsalted, though will get branded (anchor or lurpack) if on offer

I like the really salty blue brittiany butter (bridel)
Tesco finest Brittiany butter is also good.

Shir Gar

I can't find it online. I think it ight be local only, it comes as a round pat. Delicious.

Shergar butter is sold in my local ASDA supermarket - not noticed it in others though. Maybe I just don't look around so much in other stores .

Country Life every time...can't do the brand shift down on this one.

You'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife AFAIC
