“Everything’s better with Blue Bonnet on it!” - margarine quarters and tub butter. Sometimes Country Crock. When cooking with real butter during holidays we get GV Walmart, Land O Lakes or Kerry Gold.
I won't eat margarine. It's plastic. Not food. Stick a package on a shelf and leave it for a couple years. Then see what it looks like. It won't deteriorate. It'll look like it's fresh from the store. Anything that won't rot isn't food. I accidentally did this some years back. I had a lb sitting in an old camp trailer for 10 years, literally. It didn't spoil in the least. It's full of trans fat.
Yep, I'd say you're right Dutch. Mom fell to the TV adds about marg. being better for you & probably quit using lard for the same reason.
Oh, and one more thing she probably heard on TV was Trichinosis warnings. She was scared of it so they she would cook pork to death. I never knew how good a piece of cured & aged ham could be when it was cooked medium, till I left home.

Salted Kerry Gold in the tub, we only refrigerate before it's been opened, so it spreads well. The small tubs won't go bad in a week - the big tubs stayed good for a month. We don't have a major heat problem, though. Pretty well a climate - controlled house.

Best commercial butter ever was that French Cultured product that Trader Joe’s carried for years. It’s been discontinued. Now I buy the French Presidente band. Every so often I just make my own. Awfully easy to do.
