Spreadable vs "normal" butter

[Gibbon]

I try to watch my salt so avoid spreads. I really like that French President unsalted butter but save it for weekends.

That's the one! I prefer it to salted, great in lemon drizzle cake too. I get it by the box when it's gone a few days out of date and then freeze it.

Anyone tried simply putting the butter outside and waiting for global warming to melt it?

It's great for cooking with and it goes brilliantly with cheese too. To be honest even the slightly salted one is nice....

Any opinions?

Normal butter tastes spankin' gawjus, but is difficult to spread.

Speadable butter, on the other hand, is spreadable but not as nice as normal butter.

It can make all the difference to that all important first meal of the day (4 slices of toast).

Sounds like you need a temperature-controlled butter dish (only £35 on Amazon).

I was tempted to buy one myself, but decided the need to plug it into the mains (to recharge?) might be rather a pain.
