water in margarine?
Comments

Pen, you might be right. Although I have seen margarine sweat in warmer temperatures (although not to the extent kate describes I'll admit where it seems to have split :eek: ).
However, it has been absolutely years and years since I have bought the stuff and I guess the manufacturing processes have changed dramatically since the "stork" days!
As thriftlady says, I am a big advocate of eating "real" food, and I find the idea of spreading chemicals all over my lovely HM bread horrid!
I think my adversion to margarine developed as a youngster as I remember asking my Mum not to "butter" my bread for sandwiches as I found the spread overpowered the filling. However, I don't actually butter my sandwiches now with real butter either for the same reason! I leave my butter spread on hot toast or on HM bread on its own.
Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!

Me, too
I love toast and butter or toast and jam/marmalade, but toast and both is *plain wrong*
