AirwickWithCheese Posted December 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2013 I do not want my butter choices limited or made for me. Quality hosts serve real butter and in a way that says, help yourself to all the real butter you'd like. Not in a plastic container where people dip their spoons and God only knows what else when you're not watching them. Real butter is showcased on the table and served with a knife. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirwickWithCheese Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted December 16, 2013 This thread is about real butter, being served real butter, and the beauty of being served real butter in a proper butter dish with a honest togoodness butter knife. I hate when people use butter knives to spread jam. Ridiculous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopped Liver Posted December 16, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 16, 2013 The only real way to do this properly is to: 1) Milk the cow in the backyard 2) skim the cream from the pail when it separates 3) Churn said cream with a little salt added for flavoring. 4) take resultant butter and pack it in a mold and refigerate it. 5) Serve on a porcelien dish that you threw yourself using a tibetan kickwheel and fired using real cherry wood for 36 hours to cone 10 with either a salt glaze or bicarbonate glaze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted December 16, 2013 Share #9 Posted December 16, 2013 Making butter is a fun project to do with kids. Fill a jelly jar about half way with milk (higher the fat content the better) then shake it for about 20 minutes. The liquid remaining liquid is butter milk and you pour those off. The solids are butter with no preservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, I do what Jsharr is speaking of. I have a leaf butter mold. I add herbs and press into the mold. They come out perfect little leaves. Guests can spoon out some leaves for their bread.

Nate Posted December 16, 2013 Share #31 Posted December 16, 2013 I, too, have seen and experienced this "real butter" thing. I have never in my life ever seen nor heard of this thing called "Earth Balance" therefore, I do not believe in Earth Balance. I do believe in butter. It is made from milk. It is organic. How do you get more organic than milk from one of God's mammals, churned into butter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirwickWithCheese Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share #32 Posted December 16, 2013 Jsharr, no offense, but how do you afford real butter? I think you have real butter confused with something you find at one of your seedy Dallas grocery marts. Real butter is delivered to my doorstep each morning by poor farmers trying to survive the winter.

Kirby Posted September 23, 2020 Share #45 Posted September 23, 2020 Not only do I not have a butter dish, but in my house moves I appear to have lost the cow creamer. I recall once running into my boss at the grocery store. At the time, I had two bottles of wine and a cow creamer in my basket. We chatted for a bit and then he asked if I'd be pouring my wine from the cow creamer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
