Dairy cartel I tells you.

Has anyone experienced this first hand? I don't keep my butter out on the counter unless i'm working through a sourdough loaf (which i haven't in a while) so not sure how true this is.

[killramos]

So now people care what is being fed to livestock all the sudden when the product is suspiciously improved?

Also re not keeping butter on the counter, what kind of animal are you? Do you prefer eating cold chunks of butter on your toast/bagel?

[ercchry]

Figured it was just cause that cabinet was cooler...

I’ve actually noticed a few sticks being the opposite... thought it was margarine, soft and the wrong taste for butter

[ThePenIsMightier]

Meanwhile, we're blissfully ignoring that butter is somehow over $5/pound at the store?
And Dempsters bread is $5/loaf?

We are the dumbest collection of knuckle-dragging, gorfs in the history of the planet.

My understanding leaving butter on the counter was actually bad because of bacteria and shit that can grow on it?

Butter dish on counter 100% of the time. Fridge can go fuck itself. I also dont refrigerate Jam or Salsa

Don't worry, the BoC assures us that inflation continues to be <2% and that excessive Liberal deficits/debt/stimulus (err, handouts) won't lead to excess inflation.

The salt in butter is a very effective preservative at reasonable temperatures and timeframes. It’s actually kindof the point of butter lol.

People these days are such creme puffs

[Xtrema]

I wonder since it's refrigerated in store that people automatically think refrigeration is needed for butter.

I don't use it quick enough so I usually only leave 1/2 stick out. Leaving whole stick out it tends to get rancid/smell is off by last 1/4 or 1/5. I heard butter crock can increase life in room temp but too lazy to try.

[Disoblige]

Yes, when I saw this on the news, it was such a relief to know what the reasoning was.

The butter thing was annoying me for months. I was thinking it was the quality of the brand I was getting, but now it makes a lot more sense.

I always get the PC Optimum offers for $1.99 butter, so I buy all my butter at Shoppers Drug Mart :rofl:
Eggs for $1.49 too. Can't beat it.

This isn't really true anymore. Back in the day much more salt was added to butter. That stuff could be left outside basically forever.

You can keep salted butter on the counter for about two weeks. Unsalted a few days.

I've been buying butter for years now and keeping it out on the counter. It's always soft. Not sure what this crazy person has been doing.

Well, it is the quality and it's down apparently.

Yeah, but it all across the board, and knowing the reason why makes me feel a bit better lol.

We keep ours fairly close to a 25yo window, so it's always harder in the winter, and soft in the summer. I won't see a difference for another few months

[ercchry]

Well, my takeaway is that I now have a legitimate reason to buy the $6 half blocks of grass fed butter :rofl:

[lilmira]

with chestfeeding being a thing, hold your complaint till you get woke butter from a bull.

[JRSC00LUDE]

Just get the wokes to get an #ethicalbutter hashtag going because of the palm oil and problem solved. That's how it works, right?

[Tik-Tok]

I just can't wait for Human Butter to catch on.

Drake tried to get truffle butter going... :barf:

I have noticed that butter is much less spreadable. I'm a big grilled cheese sandwich guy and you can't even spread that shit on fresh bread any longer, I've resorted to using frozen bread to get the proper butter spread.

A real grilled cheese sandwich fan uses mayo instead of butter.

Tried it, and did not prefer it. Honestly, I use margarine for the grilled cheese, like a damned savage.

[Disoblige]

Mayo adds a tang to it that some people may or may not like.
Butter is still the classic choice.

Raise the heat in your house you heathen.

Stick close to this guys recipe for grilled cheese success.

[ercchry]

If want a real savoury grilled cheese... thin layer of miso (in the sandwich, although I’m tempted to “miso butter” the outside to see how that goes)

[suntan]

Goddamned white people and miso.

Try koji instead.

Could you have picked a more annoying video? God damn. And that is a nasty looking grilled cheese anyways.

If you want to step up your grilled cheese, you toast the inside of the bread in the pan with butter slightly, then you add cheese for the sandwich. And then more butter in the pan for the outer sides.
Go a step further by putting cheese onto the pan to create a crust on the outer sides of the bread.

Dunno what 7 of those words are.

If I need a fucking YouTube video to make a grilled cheese sandwich in turning in my white guy card. Not even going to click. No.

Like... the mold used to create miso? Just straight up mold on my sandwich???? I get enough of that when I play the “is it flour or mold” game with my sour dough :rofl:

Probably not even Becel, just crap like Imperial.

I buy the 2 packs of sunflower flax bread at costco for $5 I think it is, have even seen it on sale for $3. Real bread value.

[suntan]

Non generic butter's been > $5 for a while now - at least a few years.

Bread's definitely been going up though.

Yeah Costco's about the only place where bread prices haven't moved much.

[ThePenIsMightier]

And this is even after the bread price fixing scheme has been exposed and payouts have been made back to consumers.
The whistle has blown. The prices have not gone down!

This is such BS along with all the other crap that is going on with our food. I noticed this with butter a couple years ago. I thought we were just keeping our butter too close to our outside kitchen wall :thumbsdow

The production of palm oil has to stop. I think palm has taken 2/3rds of the rain forests in South America
