Howcome butter doesn't taste much like butter anymore?

[Selador]

Title asks the question...

[Old Jim]

Because it ain't butter, just a compound 1 or 2 ingredients away from being plastic

You are thinking of margarine.

It's just a molecule or two away from plastic.

Great flavor, lasts us for months.

Don't you think the difference in chemical structure is meaningless? Compare drinking pure H2O to drinking pure H2O2: the former is refreshing and the latter will (rather violently) kill you. One oxygen atom away.

Edit: All right you fuckers, I get it, I'm a wet blanket.

I can't believe it's not Butter?" Selador, get some Cream and a Churn Man, it wouldn't even be awkward where you live.

(Index is beautiful by the way) but beating a rod to Butter is the norm there.

Buy some French butter, it will blow your mind. I usually buy kerrygold or make my own. I throw it in a Mason jar and hand it to the kids

That's like saying bananas today don't taste like they did back in the 60's.

Unfortunately, dude, that is the reason for 98% of the world's problems.

I'm just too old for that!

No. It's like saying butter tasted like butter, as recently as 5 years ago, and today it tastes like it's been watered way down...

I'm wondering if some sort of regulations have been relaxed, and they are adding a bunch of canola oil, or something, to 'stretch' it.

Most 'butter tastes different' issues involve a history of snorting Vicodin.
It's the acetaminophen talking.

Sounds like the voice of experience.

No, my butter tastes fine.
