A new Texas Roadhouse is opening in my neighborhood, and I can't wait to go in and stuff myself with those amazing dinner rolls! They should sell those things by the pallet.
A good friend of mine graduated from med school, realised that wasn't for him and went to pursue his real passion, baking. I get a loaf of bread and a pastry from there every week, and it's amazing. As you said, no frills needed, but I won't say no to a slice of cheese every now and then.
I have a running argument with my SO that there's no perceivable difference in any commercially available butters, beyond salted vs unsalted. Thoughts?
100000 times what @IHaveGreatKittenRecipes said! I'm Kerry Gold all the way (I'm in Europe so it's not quite that much more expensive than other brands) and the difference in taste (delicious buttery taste vs. bland fat) and spreadability (perfectly spreadable straight out of the fridge vs. hard and brittle) is HUGE.
SO bought some nice French butter from work and it's amazing, so creamy and rich but not overwhelming. Much better than those usual ones we have. They are available in some supermarkets as well just more expensive.
Are we talking actual butter or 'butter'? Because in actual real butter there is a massive difference in quality, not just flavour but texture and spreadability and even smoke point if you use it to start the grease in a pan. Kerry Gold is the current go-to at the house, it's light years ahead of Land'o'Lakes. Damned expensive tho if you can't find it at Costco.
Hrm, not sure where the butter/'butter' line gets drawn, but I'm instructed to buy the Amish Roll, as well as the Land O' Lakes or Challenger butter that I use for cooking and baking.
The line is milk fats VS oils. American food laws will allow a certain percentage of oils in butter before it has to be marketed as margarine and it makes a *huge* difference in flavour and in the health values of the final product. You'll also see borderline products being marketed as 'spread', like Country Crock.

Stollen is delicious.

Just got a coupon for a free baguette when I bought a baguette. Challenge accepted, baguette and coffee for lunch, check.

There is nothing better than fresh, REAL bread and delicious, deep yellow, creamy, lightly salted butter.

Anyone else on here prefer the ends on a loaf? Not for making grilled or hot sandwiches, but for all other aspects?
seester82
F yeah, it can!

Now I really want bread
letthecatout
That bread looks gorgeous. Hope it’s proper lightly salted English butter.

It will make the front page but needs to be excluded from my diet after Chinese New Year.

the smell of bread getting toasted is one of my favorite things ever
MasterMookie
a tiny bit of salt if it is unsalted butter.
TheForgewright
Maybe a little roasted garlic folded in, because garlic makes nearly anything better.

There is a garlic festival that would argue that "nearly".

Well that's valid. SFGate says Land O' Lakes is on the low side. https://www.sfgate.com/cooking/article/when-put-to-the-test-here-s-how-butter-brands-3236719.php
