Okay, here's a pet peeve of mine:
People saying "butter" when they are referring to margarine.
Sorry, it's not butter. If you want butter, eat butter. If you want margarine, they call it "margarine" or "fake butter" or "spread."
I do eat butter. At home it's organic butter. Sometimes when I'm out I want a little butter. I ask the waitress, "Do you have any REAL butter?"
They will say yes. Occasionally I'll get lucky and they will bring me actual butter. But frequently they will bring me something like "Land O Lakes Buttery Taste Spread" which is basically partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, stabilizers, colors, etc. and "3% cream." Great.
Then I'll point out that IS NOT butter. They are so confused. It never dawned on them.
A true gourmet would never eat fake butter.
Fake butter is worse for you than real butter.
It must be cheaper, there is no other reason not to have the real thing.
But it can ruin my meal.
P.S. I did actually sneak some of my own butter into a restaurant once (in a zip-loc bag). Decided it wasn't worth it.
P.P.S. Cool website: http://www.bantransfats.com
I don't agree with everything but it's a good site.

Thanks for your post...
We eat and cook only with Butter....
A funny story; when I was a wee lad back in South Georgia, at my Grandmother's house, she kept her 1 pound block of butter in the frig. on a glass container; which was like a saucer with a domed cover... Well I must have liked butter; because she said she would find the butter with small teeth marks where I had stopped by and taken a bit!
Lov your post keep it coming, like is fun... See Kermit

lol! a little snack of butter!
I never thought of butter as a snack, but my cousin loved it and always wanted to eat it (by itself) and her parents wouldn't let her. Finally, for her birthday they gave her a whole stick and told her, "Enjoy!" She didn't even make it through half a stick and after that she never asked to have it plain again.
