Has anyone else found that butter - even the good stuff is rock hard - It never used to be and sticking it on your toast was easy - Now I have to put a lump on one slice then put next slice on top to try and melt the butter. - I can sharpen the knives on it.

We have tried a few other good brands as well as Lidl and Aldi and all seem to be the same - What have the makers taken out to save money.

We normally have Kerrygold.
 
Wife put a new pack of butter in the butter dish -same as before and this one spreads - Perhaps the kitchen is slightly warmer I don't know but it's great to be able to spread butter on bread and not have bread disintegrate.
 
I have found that, as it's well into spring the butter has sofened a bit and can spread it on soft brown bread.
I have stopped having white bread toast as all versions of white bread now to me, taste like wet cardboard.

This week when shopping I put a malt loaf in basket as I haven't had one for years (Soreen I think) - it was like cutting a brick in half - so unless it was past it's eat by date they have now become uneatable. I used to love those soft squidgy covered in butter slices of malt loaf.
