Butter matters [Danish Lurpak on board]

[Princess Fiona]

If you're paying $7.99 at Harris Farm, you're paying too much. Are you sure it wasn't Village Grocer? HF charges $4.29 at Dee Why and $4.69 at Mona Vale. Woolies currently has a special at, I think, $4.29.

I don't believe Woolies sells Pepe Saya

I am glad I am not the only one thinking that that post confused Pepe Saya with Lurpak.

OT but how exactly does one "grow" salt?

Home grown doesn't just mean to grow it.

home-grown - definition of home-grown in English from the Oxford dictionary

1. Grown or produced in one’s own garden or country.

1.1Belonging to one’s own particular locality or country:home-grown talent


There also used to be massive salt works just north of Adelaide. Not to mention at Lochiel in South Australia.

Port Wakefield Rd?

 

[whatmeworry]

Devondale dairy soft is better.

Port Wakefield Rd?

Yes. Off towards the left near the power station. But apparently shut down a year or two ago.

Devondale dairy soft is better.

Only when used on toast...

The true baker wants "real" butter going into the oven.

Happy wandering

this!! *thumbs-up*

thanks to AFF I was at woolies last week and compared Lurpak to our current 'organic' spreadable butter 'Harmonie'.

Lurpak $4.29, Harmonie $6.85.

Closer inspection of Harmonie reveals: made in Daneland, by the same company as Lurpak (Arla Foods), in the same factory as Lurpak, with an identical ingredient list... save for... wait for it... Harmonie is made with 'organic cream' instead of regular milk.

Now seriously... what would be the difference between organic and regular from Daneland right? Pristine environment, happy citizens, happy cows.

Thanks to AFF we have now made the switch to Lurpak... saving enough for a one-way trip MEL-SYD each year!

Now seriously... what would be the difference between organic and regular from Norway right? Pristine environment, happy citizens, happy cows.

Norway? Are those cows wandering across the border?

corrected!!

To be precise, there is no border between Denmark and Norway. Perhaps their cows swim.

If anyone is a Costco fan, Lurpak butter is $9.69 in a pack of three.

I had some toasted Hot Cross Buns slathered in Lurpak for lunch. Just doing my bit to keep Danish Farmers and Australian Heart Surgeons in gainful employment.

I love butter...the salty variety. The statins i take look afer the cholesterol.

Well for some strange reason VLML receive margarine instead of butter...and stale bread rolls instead of fresh. True story.

I think that there is a "study" that finds fault with everything. There needs to be a correction factor for those studies that takes into account pleasure.

Well last night on the news I saw a study that destroyed the fallacy that beer was bad for you - and this morning I saw a study that said skipping traditional breakfast may indeed be good for you - SO - tomorrow morning I'll be sitting up to half a doz VBs for brekkie - I'll be seriously taking pleasure into account!
