Dairy free margarine

[Windigo]

I avoid margarine like the plague. An overdose of cheap and nasty margarine when I was young has created a life long aversion to the stuff.
No idea it had butter in it!

Hey, someone else like me!

I already posted about it somewhere else (it's a gross story) but the smell still makes me gag.

... use butter and margarine for different things…I’m a bit of a weirdo that way).

That's not weird at all.

Butter only here since I read Marge is nearly plastic. Being a large dairy supplier to the world we can buy butter easily. 1 lb. Blocks or .500gm.
I usually have about 10 lb in the fridge I the garage. I've posted a pic of my stocks ages ago.

I remember seeing it.

Not all margarine is hydrogenated or contains transfats. But I love butter!

I got curious, and took a look, and NZ does produce a lot of butter for its size as a country. Almost half of the entire US, a much larger country. What blew my mind was the top producing nation, by a huge amount... India. More than six times what the US produces.

Was your "shocked" emoji because of India being the biggest producer in the world? They well exceeded the entire EU, the US and NZ combined!

even the Bank of England new five pound notes had gelatin in the print.

How extraordinary, who would have thought, thank you for bringing it up here to share with us!

I can relate. The first time I ever had real butter I was a sophomore in high school (grade 10 out of 1-12) and went to a friend's house for dinner. They only used real butter in their house. After that I never used margarine (or sparingly), and after I moved out on my own I only bought real butter.

Which makes me remember how inexpensive it was back then compared to now. Even last year it was about 1/2 the price it is now 😔

Yes, prices have gone up here too, we are still coming to terms with it.
