But if I had to pick one, all things considered, I'd take a low sodium / "lite" butter.
I like a salted Bretonne or Normandie butter. Use it for spread or cooking or sauces.
Nothing 'lite' about it. Btw, May/June/July is the best tasting butter of this type.
No huge preference on butter or margarine. No passionate feelings on the subject. More or a Shrug kind of thing than a Love one.
I'm glad you've found butter you love, though! Enjoy!!
How do you cook without butter?!?!?! Not judging you...just genuinely curious. I would be at a loss for things like baking, gravy and sauces. I know plenty of people, particularly those that eat Mediterranean or Southeast Asian diets don't use much butter. But I'm genuinely surprised that people in the Western world use so little butter without even making it a conscious choice.
I just use ingredients and seasonings. I often toss things together...like, if it's in a bowl together, it belongs together, lol. I eat differently than many people. I wouldn't serve other people the kind of stuff I eat. I don't always love what I make. Sometimes I do! But sometimes, I'm like, "Ooh. Lesson learned here. Not good!"
I just kind of make stuff that doesn't have a name because I just made it up and called it "food" or "a meal."0 -
They still sell margarine?0

I've read that margarine is one molecule away from being plastic. ...
I don't eat either.

I prefer butter if I have to have it, but I always use Bertolli (idk if you have it outside of the UK) which is a spread made from olive oil. I think it tastes even better than butter, so that's why I use that. I'll use butter if I'm baking though (which is rare).0

Margarine is just plain gross.
Butter alllllllll the way!0 -

Butter is simple and natural, margarine is not.
The whole "one molecule away from plastic" is a silly statement that just shows a lack of understanding of chemistry. Water is just an atom away from being hydrogen peroxide, which is fatal if you drink it. Does that mean water is bad? A little critical thinking goes a long way. Unfortunately, all too often people just blindly believe something they read or are told, without even the slightest thought about the logic of the statement.0 -
Uh-oh, the professor just came in. Eyes back on your own papers, everyone.-1

Butter. They have the same calories and fat per gram so why not go with something that tastes good?0

Because they don't taste as good spread on toast or melted over veggies.
As far as baking, lard makes the best pie crust and suet is wonderful in steamed puddings. Haven't used duck fat for anything.

Neither. Any fat that is solid at room temperature is unhealthy. It's kind of like which is better Oreos or pure sugar. Neither. Eat fruit in that case. In this case no fats - just whatever is present in food naturally but if you must, choose a cold pressed oil. It should say expeller pressed on the label otherwise it will be processed and very unhealthy.0
