  • President spreadable doesn’t taste like butter tho. We have just finished a tub and won’t be going back for more.

    Sorry. I have given you the wrong name

    The one we have now is MnS Softer Butter

    Ingredients: Butter(milk), Salt (1.8%)

    It says it has been churned under carefully controlled conditions. 

    The President one can be elusive but most often tracked down in Sainsbury's

    I hate the ones with oil.  They make toast soggy.


    ETA - I think perhaps President tastes different because it's either unsalted or slightly salted ( I forget which). I like it but DH prefers Marks

    Hi Nels, we use The Butter Works softer butter and keep it in a pottery butter dish. There is no heating in the kitchen but it was still soft enough to spread this morning.

    M & S softer butter (not spreadable) is made from milk from cows on a special diet. It isn't quite as soft as the spreadable as those made with oil but softer than block butter.
    Ingredients
    Butter (Milk), Salt (1.8%), Minimum 80% Milk Fat
  • You can get  plug in heated butter dishes. A bit extravagant,  at nearly fifty pounds, but possibly worth it if it stops a daily irritation. I have seen much cheaper battery operated versions so do look around first.

    Draw the business end across the top of the block of butter and you get a thin curl of butter which is much easier to spread.


    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    We're using the M & S Softer Butter atm too. I take it out of the fridge about half an hour before using it though, if I remember.

    I find Anchor Spreadable tastes exactly like the Anchor block butter. It does to me at any rate  :)

    Butter! (A1D! Salted)

    Large Butter Knife!

    Crumpet, toasted!

    Add Marmite to taste.

    Hope that settles it!
