Reading this reminds me that I haven’t had butter or butter-like spread in a long time…I just cook with canola oil.

What is wrong with margarine in the USA? Why not calling it margarine???

Not going to lie, I do like the hybrid spreads. My personal favorite is Move Over Butter which is (I think) half margarine half sweet cream whipped into a pretty tasty spread.

I mean, I like butter more and will only cook with butter - but I am not going to sit here and lie about eating crappy spreads on toast.
