I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

[KeithD]

You can get Lurpak butter or Lurpak spreadable in most supermarkets, it's the same as here in the UK, .

Oh no it doesn't.... I tried that, it's disgusting, they use a different oil to make it soft. The bread is fine if you buy the right one, it's actually tastes like ....well... bread ... unlike in Singapore . Possibly the solid butter blocks are OK, as I was only trying the spreadable varieties.

Next to resolve is coffee, I'm still sending over jars of Nescafe Gold Blend

Yeah I had that problem, the ground stuff grown in the Philippines may as well be crushed sheep crap, in fact the latter would probably taste better. I ended up getting beans from Starbucks and have them grind it for me

You might just be more fussy than me my standard spread in the UK for many many years was St Ivel gold which I know many people hate, these days the one I use is the really low fat Utterly Butterly.

In the Phils we used both solid and spreadable but the bread is always that sweetened Gardenia stuff, so that overpowers the flavour of whatever you slap on the bread usually at least for me.
