Butter or margarine/spread ? Branded or own brand ?

[Beth_Disney]

We buy Clover light. Salted butter obviously tastes better but I think Clover light is a bit better for us.

Butter for us, mostly lurpack
Hate that I was brought up on margarine and we thought it was good for us
Remember being told that animals leave it as they don’t recognise it as food

Can’t vote our butter comes from a friends organic dairy farm
Yes milk comes in bottles delivered either at 6 am or 6pm depending on milking
Yes we do occasionally get a bottle of full cream where you can see the cream on the top a coveted treat on your porridge or cereal

Lurpak or Anchor for us

I've worked for a key Butter/spread manufacturer and some of the key brands plus own label were happily being made on lines right next to each other and could be classed as Welsh or West Country etc as long as the milk origin or manufacture method complied with branding or origin laws.

Spreads were also made on another site and some I wouldn't touch, perfectly safe to eat, but not very natural.

Aldi West Country Sea Salt butter on toast, Clover for sandwiches unless the butter’s been left out of the fridge for a good while 👍

Lurpack or presidents

Nothing but Lurpak in this house

[Island mamma]

I get branded butter ( lurpak, anchor etc) when on offer and on the rare occasion none of the brands are on offer will buy unbranded.
Used to use sunflower spread all the time but now absolutely hate it.
Only thing I use margarine for is baking
