Sorry Disney: THIS is The Happiest Place on Earth.

I would actually pay through the ear and stand in long lines for this, unlike Space Mountain.

Yes, children, you can eat copious amounts of this fabulous butter and still be thinner, better-dressed and all-around superior to Americans. Vive La France!

Sniff. That takes me back to the days in kindergarten when we would make our own butter and put it on saltines and squeeze it til it came through the little cracker holes like butter worms. Sniff.

Butter is this weird thing, where it is DIVINE on top of stuff but vile alone (like mayo). I hope they had some delicious pastries handy!

@bananaballs: I think you say this because you have never tasted Kerrygold Irish Butter.

OMG BUTTER. Food of the Gods. President, salted. Plugra, I didn't care for. I use butter in my cooking as much as fucking possible. There's this thing I make, when I grill any kind of steaks. It consists of tiny tiny slivers of fresh garlic, and when I say tiny, I mean tiny. Add to saute pan. Add 1/2 stick of salted President. Add fresh black pepper. Simmer on really low heat, don't let it bubble too much. Taste it approximately 70,000 times by dipping pieces of warm crusty bread in it. When it's done, pour it (not any of that "drizzle" shit-I said POUR) on top of the steak. Mmmmm bloody steak..Sorry. So pour it on, salt it, and then pick up that steak with your bare hands and devour it like a mountain lion. it's like sex in your mouth.

Also, why did this thread go up when I was on the bus. WHY.

Anyway.

My mom makes the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. She uses cold margarine, straight from the fridge, and mixes everything with her hands. Her chocolate chip cookies, no lie, are the best on the planet. I NEED the recipe. The cookies are soft without being too chewy, and they just melt away in your mouth. Delicious.

Er, I would like to use this opportunity to say that we should quit disparaging margarine and paraphrase Cracked.com's debunking of the margarine-is-one-molecule-away-from-bein... myth, "Saying margarine is one molecule away from plastic doesn't mean anything. It's like saying the word farm is one letter away from fart."

After reading all these posts, i realize I have a butter hierarchy:

President

Lurpak

Plugra

Kate's

Kerrygold

. . .aaand now I realize that butter takes up way more of my brain space than it really should. Sigh.

I like lurpak Danish butter. It's what I grew up on. Silver foil wrapped goodness. It's not fancy schmancy but it's better than American butter.

This article has made me self-conscious. How are you supposed to cream the butter if you don't have an electric mixer?

@drspaceman: I use the wooden-spoon-and-bowl method. The trick is to leave the butter at room temp for several hours beforehand (or less time if it's summer and/or you live in a hot climate. We keep the house at 65 in the winter, so room temp is just perfect here right now).
