It spreads the same as ever, and melts on toast. I think you may have fallen for crap posted on the internet.

Why have you been eating it? Its awful muck. Any actual butter is nicer.

This is shocking and will inevitably result in sausages containing substandard testicles.

Weird question! Why do people normally eat things?

never bought galtee myself assumed it was cheap .

but you do wonder about huge sections of the food supply being in the hands of so few.
And if you don't, you should.

Well the spreadable butters came in and everyone got convinced to switch

Eventually it dawned on most people that they should have stayed eating pure butter

I am no food snob but Denny and Galtee pudding are horrendous. The Tesco value stuff is nicer.

It’s still a weird question.

While I love real butter, it is not very convenient for spreading unless left out for a while.

Which is more important spreadability or taste

And which is the easier to manipulate in the kitchen

The locally produced bacon , pudding and sausages you get from the butchers is far nicer that what Denny's or galtee produce.

No great loss, for all their talk & marketing they aren't even Irish pork sausage.
No Bord Bia mark on either brands.
During the horse meat scandal years ago, Denny was the only brand left on the shelves.
That tells you plenty where they source their raw pork material.

That it didnt contain horse? Thats good right?

Anyway, like has been said above, find a good local butcher that you trust and your chances of eating more recognisable meat increase. Good rashers from a butcher are incomparable to anything you find on the shelf of a supermarket.

Eggs too, if your going to make a good fry up, spend a couple of pence more.

They couldn't have chosen a more horrible crowd to sell to... they really couldn't have.

Having worked for Kerry Group, they couldn't be much worse.

I haven’t seen butter anywhere for years. Are butter sales reviving?

They got found out, the only Irish product in their Irish breakfast hamper they sold was the O'Hara's soda bread!

I’ll buy what I choose, not what some random people on the internet want me to.

The obsession is a bit weird though. Are ye all dairy farmers or something that want to sell more produce? :pac:

DairyGold butter was the closest thing to real butter in taste. Now it’s low low ****e see attached

The colour of a butter won't tell you whether it came from sunflower oil. The colour of butter is determined by the diet of the cows from which it came.

A lighter butter merely means the milk came from somewhere else. In some regions, a yellow dye is added to make it darker and thus appear more "buttery". So you never really know.

I've also never encountered any kind of butter, oil-based or milk-based that doesn't melt when spread on hot toast. So I'd definitely say that Stella has probably had too much Stella.

To be fair, you can't bate real butter on toast.

Both Galtee and Denny's have been shyte for a very long time. Support smaller brands and buy locally made products.

Meat has turned to terrible muck over the past 20 years, I eat it at the most 3-4 times a week. I never thought I'd say that, but here we are.

There is good stuff out there but you need to shop around for it. Try locally reared stuff from nearest farmers' market or farm shop or craft butcher.

The missus has been getting that crap spreadable butter for so long, I had forgotten the taste of real farmyard butter. Then last year I got a lb of real farmyard butter and it was savage. That really salty taste. Yum.

Sorry, but I can't see the phrase 'Farmers Market' and not post this.

The first taste made me wince because it was so long since I had it. I'd forgotten how salty the real thing is. Well worth it though.

Yep, a 'hape' of it on a pile of shpuds, a taste of heaven.
