The preferred butter thread got me thinking as I usually have margarine with plant sterols.
(Not for health reasons just happens to be whats in the fridge)

dont like the taste of most of them
Thanks. They do taste and smell very good.
Always butter. Just eat real food.
No poll option for 'neither'? I grew up without both (Euro parents) and now I hate the stink of butter and the sliminess of marg. I can only stand marg if making a toasty.
Pepe Saya IS very good, but like the best Australian cheeses, suffers when compared to French cheese for the same price. For everyday use, it's western star for me, Nuttelex for madam. HOWEVER, for a treat we use Lescure French butter. It's about $5 a log at Colesworth when available, so cheaper than Pepe but for our taste, in a head-to-head comparison on our favourite bread, far better. The giant wholemeal sourdough loaves we toast from a bread maker with a name from a county in California and Lescure is ambrosia. And Lescure isn't the only option, just readily available.
Tried Pepe Saya…tbh….overrated and over priced.
GF worked in the vegetable oils industry for many years (including the leading margarine at the time). She uses butter.
Miracle Spread.
Flora proactiv - buttery flavour. But margarine for purpose of this poll.
Margarine for toast and toasties, butter for everything else practically.
Butter or else you just splash some olive oil
Flies won't even go near margarine….neither do I. Butter is a natural choice for me…..its simply better….the old timers had it right….use butter!!
I hate that I was raised on margarine and to avoid butter.
Butter is SO MUCH more healthy for us!
Margarine is toxic and should be banned.
Whenever possible, we use neither.
It's healthier to minimise all oils in your diet: butter can be replaced with heavy cream or avocado in many recipes, you can cook with plant oils if required, and it goes without saying that grilling, not frying is better for you, and often brings out the flavour of the main ingredients more than a lot of added fats.
How do you make a toastie though?
neither. biscoff and kewpie only.
Neither. Huge fat content.
What do you mean by "USE"?

Butter. Always have butter growing up. Lurpak at the moment. Remember going to school camp in secondary school many many years ago and they had Black and Gold margarine. I was thinking, we paid thousands in school fees and only got Black and Gold. Scarred me for life.
Check the ingredients on posh margerine (..with butter, …with olive oil etc). It's still mostly crap cheap vegetable oils.
Went back to butter last year. Lost weight. Tastes better.
I'm no nature warrior, but hydrogenated vegetable oils are the devil from a nutritional perspective. Best not bother, I think people use them out of habit, I'd rather go without.
I've really never tasted either. My mum used to put nutella or honey when making fairy bread when I was a kid, while the other kids got butter+sprinkles. I think I was just disgusted by it. I do eat a lot of other junk foods but most dairy foods look a bit disgusting.
Is it a salty taste? I am surprised there are many people here saying butter is healthy? To my knowledge it's the opposite of healthy.
There lies the problem. We have been brainwashed to believe that margarine is actually healthy when it is in fact not healthy at all.
Margarine is made with vegetable or seed oils which are toxic to us.
Butter it much healthier but decades ago a scientist by the name of Ancel Keys did some BS which effectively demonised fat as being bad for us.Butter is healthy (or at least neutral, it is rich in calories but has some good vitamins). They used to say "all saturated fats are always bad" back in the 20th century but it hasn't stood up to the evidence, sugar and white bread clog your arteries more than butter does.
marg for everyday eating, butter for cooking
My son is allergic to cow milk protein, so we have adopted use of Nutlex Buttery at home. While I do not like half-measures, this one has acceptable flavour, so we have started using it with our sandwiches as well. Buttery now gets used exclusively to cook with, for dishes just for me and my wife.
Costco Ghee (from New Zealand) for the win. GOAT
Nothing
I enjoy plain bread like a savage
