Butter or margarine ?

I use Lurpak Spreadable, which does spread easily on bread.

Just a warning to those doing LCHF. The spreadable Lurpak has 30% butter, 26% Canola oil, and added water whipped up together. The Lighter spreadable swaps 7% of the butter fat for polyunsaturated vegetable oils.

Love butter but it is so hard to spread specially on bread ( not byroads I hasten to add)

Don`t keep it in the fridge.

It's impressive, as it melts from the inside out.

Place your butter in a nice butter dish which has a cover and leave it on your kitchen counter or in your cupboard. Providing that it doesn't sit for yonks then it won't go of and will be much easier to spread.

I use a cheese slicer similar to this: https://www.google.se/url?sa=i&rct=...QbhO8JT7G1IVI3iBV3nGj4OA&ust=1459962346773267

Works better on cold butter than on cheese.

What about non-hydrogenated margarine? I was also told by my dietician to avoid the hard margarine that you use for baking and to use butter instead. But she did say I should use the non-hydrogenated margarine. But with that said I use butter instead. Just tastes that much better.
