Butter vs Margarine

[Nanto2girls]

Many years ago i always bought Stork margarine. Then, i changed to Flora original. One day when shopping they didn't have any Flora, so we bought I can't belive its not butter.hubby liked it and asked if we could change to it, which we did.
It's also good for baking. I always keep a spare tub of it in the freezer.

OH is hooked on butter, he grew up with parents who spread it thickly and if caught out I would find him with so much on his bread you could stand a knife up in the middle But now we are at Weight Watchers neither of us have butter in the house just an olive oil cooking spray. I never eat margarine as I am not entirely sure anything "emulsified" is good for us.

I read somewhere that margarine has plastic in it. Of course it was probably one of those scare things that three days later turned out to be the best thing for you. We used to used that "OMG it is not butter" as we used to call it but at some point, for some reason changed to Anchor Spreadable.

We've used all sorts over the years, but for quite a while now have used unsalted butter, usually President, for spreading making bread and mashing potatoes. I keep a block in a butter dish, not in the fridge, and one in the fridge for bread making. I use Echo Marge and lard for pastry, and various oils for cooking and salad dressings, and I keep Pure or another soya spread for GS1 who is dairy-free. I didn't realise until I wrote this how many different products I used. 😎

Zizi - I think I read somewhere that there was only one molecule difference between plastic and margarine, too.
