Do you have margarine or butter or both?

I prefer the taste of butter but find that it is too hard to spread. I even find the spreadable ones still rip the bread. I just buy margarine all the time now. What do you use?

I know it sounds strange and weird but I don't have either, I am actually allergic to both butter and margarine it makes me billious and I can't touch it, so whenever I have sandwiches they are always dry, toast included! It used to be difficult in work canteens because all their sandwiches are buttered. But nowadays a lot of shops do not put either on.

Oh what a BUMMA!! I can eat most things without butter or margarine but if I eat toast with nothing on it, I suffer from indigestion for the rest of the day.

I just use margarine for most things but still use butter sometimes in cooking. My Aunt always serves french bread with real butter at her big meals, and I guess it gets a little melty because it's easier to spread there. At home though the same stuff happens to me, the bread tears.

I also prefer to use butter when I am cooking. I think it tastes better and it doesnt curdle like margarine does.

Smart Balance  - Smart Balance butter substitute
Actually, I use Smart Balance. It's much healthier than butter or margarine, and still tastes just as good.

I use spreadable butter, spreadable light butter and fat reduced light flora margerine, as I prefer the taste of butter, but take the flora on sandwiches, except when I have a banana sandwich, when I take the light spreadable.

I used to use margarine all the time, but now I have gone to butter because one of my kids is a bit fussy and won't have margarine. I have to admit that I prefer butter too. The only annoying things is that it's too hard to spread half of the time.

I use butter, I don't like the taste of margarine. I always had to eat it when I was a kid so I really grew fed up with it.
