It’s a whole thing, called bulletproof or keto coffee. Some add mct oil plus butter.

Yes, it is a whole thing, my low carb breakfast, though I don’t use any other ingredients, just coffee and 2T butter. Needs to be blended, ideally in a ninja type personal blender. The blender apparently wakes up certain people, so lately I just put it in the blender cup and use a stick foaming thing (the kind for lattes/cappuccinos) to blend. In a pinch, at someone else’s house, I might try to use a whisk in the tallest cup I can find. For those who aren’t used to having that much fat all at once without other food, might make sense to start out with less.
On another note, I am looking for a good waffle recipe (for the kids of course) and just finished making the one from Joy of Cooking, which calls for 1/2 stick, 1 whole stick, or 2 whole sticks of butter. I went with 1 stick. I think I should switch out half the milk for water next time - waffles seem dense. Maybe I overcooked them.

A few decades ago I used Costco butter for Thanksgiving and I think it ruined everything I used it in

How so??
How is this “few decades” old experience relevant to our current butter discussion?

I don’t like butter at all. I never put it on any food.
I use it only to bake. Land O’Lakes unsalted for cookies, muffins, cakes, etc and Fleischmann’s original margarine in my peanut butter balls at Christmas.
I have a tub of I can’t believe it’s not butter in the fridge for people who want it on toast or potatoes or noodles.
I might try the Kerrygold……
I will never buy Costco butter again!! And I hope to spare others from the same mistake It just tasted… wrong.
Not going to argue with you but if it was decades ago there is a good chance it’s made more tasty these days - all these posters mentioning it can’t be wrong!

Speaking of Costco butter, this recall is ridiculous! Who doesn’t know butter contains milk???!!

That may be a sign of a serious issue. I’d get it checked out immediately.

My granddaughter would eat a stick of butter if they’d let her!

I believe people are that dumb!
Many years ago I gave a friend a recipe for an alcoholic slush that you froze.
She spilled it in her freezer, blamed me for the mess because it didn’t freeze completely. That’s when I first realized that not everyone was as informed as I was.

You can do that at some state fairs! This article is old but many state fairs now feature this item.

I typically buy whichever butter is on sale, and always the unsalted variety. That works well enough for me.
But it must be butter – I won’t buy margarine. If insects won’t eat it, neither will I. hehe
I go most of the year not eating rolls and butter. But when the holidays roll around, I’ll go through a bag of rolls and a couple sticks of butter for them specifically. lol I can’t help myself.

We usually buy BJ’s store brand butter, salted (for spreading) and unsalted (for cooking and baking). It’s good enough. I’m not a butter connoisseur, but DH loves buttering his bread.
The other day I bought the Aldi version of Kerrygold mentioned upthread. I was curious.
Have to admit, it is more buttery tasting than the BJ’s one. At dinner last night I noticed DH had applied it thickly on his bread, as with a trowel. I asked him, “Are you having a little bread with your butter?”

We have an oval one that holds a stick of butter and sits in water.
Interesting!
So it’s really ok to leave butter out? How would you know when it’s not good anymore? I’ve noticed when we’ve travelled abroad that people leave the butter out, but I just always assumed we were lucky to not get sick, because butter is like milk and milk goes bad. But I guess no? I don’t know that we use that much butter outside of baking anymore (husband is low carb now, so much less toast and things like that where you’d want spreadable butter) but when I do need to spread it, I hate how hard it is when it’s cold.
