Do you prefer a low colesteral spread or go all hog on the butter?

Got to be butter, it's got more flavour.

Butter's too difficult to spread without ripping the bread - therefore it has to be marge.

What I do is balance the knife over the toaster, so it heats the blade but not the handle, then spreadability is no longer an issue...

Butter mostly for the taste.

I have a covered butter dish which is kept outside the fridge, solving any spreading problems

This reminds me of an advert in the "Not 1984" book (the Big Train of the 80s):

"Butter is the Devil's spunk."

Anchor butter, left out of the fridge in a butter dish wish a lid (it doesn't have time to go off in our house).

Did you know that all spreads/margarines are actually grey until the yellow dye is added?

Nice.

I only eat pun-based dairy produce: Butter The Devil You Know/Butter Than The Average Spread/The Butter Part Of Valour etc...

Butter is healthier & tastes better, spreads are way too artificial.

Sunflower oil margarine.

On bread, I don't spread any kind of butter or margarine. My sandwiches are unbuttered, with filling only.

I do put a bit of sunflower spread on crumpets though. I generally only use fat for cooking, and end up up throwing most of it away when it reaches its 'use by' date.
