Love President butter but only the salted one and I can't find it anywhere, I'm sure we've had it in this country before. Reminds me of holidays in France.
Unsalted butter tastes like lard!
Tend to buy value/whatever's on offer though cos I mostly use it in cooking.

Sainsburys stock it

Me too and if we didn't have any dripping my nan used to give us lard on toast with a sprinkling of salt:eek:

That was staple food for hundreds of years before butter became so widely available. There are plenty of people who will tell you they preferred dripping .

Sainsburys has the salted President as well as the unsalted - it's in a blue and gold pack, as opposed to the red and gold of the unsalted.

Yeo Valley organic butter is delicious - solid or spreadable, both taste like proper butter! It's expensive but really worth it imo - a real treat!

Best served inch-thick on a slice of cold toast... Just not too often!!

Lurpak is man butter! No sexiest pun intended, but it is!

Other spread that is nice to the taste and healthy compared to others is 'I can't believe it's not butter'

I can't believe it's not butter is margarine and is far from healthy!

It's really a testament to the dark powers of marketing and packaging that so many people simply do not realise what is genuine butter and what is marg in drag.

It is for a fact, much healthier than most, and it's definatley not margarine! If it was then the fat content and monosaturates would be through the roof! Check the ingredients on your next shop, and compare it towards other brands. Then you'll see.

Sorry - WRONG! - Just a girl, thank you, you've opened my eyes to it!
