Ok, lurpack when melted tastes quite good compared to margarine, but it wont ******* spread!

Thank god for microwaves though. I cut some off whopped it in the microwave, 3 seconds on 800 watts. Bang it was just solid and nice and soft to spread.

This is why i prefer Margarine for sandwiches as it spreads and doesn't tear the bread, hot things like toast is the only time when Lurpack 'works' :(.

So my question is (sure someone will whop me an old thread in a few minutes but i still wanted to tell you about my butter ordeal)

...whats your preference Butter or Margarine?

Actually an interesting read (this was once a chemistry homework so i knew about this through that, not because of my craze for the stuff :p)

In 1869 Emperor Louis Napoleon III of France offered a prize to anyone who could make a satisfactory substitute for butter, suitable for use by the armed forces and the lower classes.[1] French chemist Hippolyte Mège-Mouriés invented a substance he called oleomargarine, the name of which became shortened to the trade name "Margarine". Margarine now refers generically to any of a range of broadly similar edible oils. The name oleomargarine is sometimes abbreviated to oleo.
 
So these are all out ?

chocolate
Ice cream
Yogurt
Biscuits
Cakes
Cheese

:(

Anything that doesnt get heated to the level where the proteins break down, so :

chocolate < Possibly, Dark Only Though
Ice cream < Only pansy ice cream with no milk
Yogurt < Nope
Biscuits < Yep
Cakes < Yep, unless they are cream cakes :eek::(
Cheese < Depends on the cheese
