I don't think there is any difference, Bixa.

I have noticed on the airlines of the world, three countries pretty much have the monopoly: Denmark, France and New Zealand. American airlines seem to be the only ones that use salted butter, but more and more often it is just "congealed yellow spread".

Monopoly on where the butter is produced? I knew that Denmark and New Zealand were known for butter production, but didn't know about France.
Spindrift, does that mean we could make our own ghee and not worry about it turning rancid, due to having no milk solids?

No, I was talking about the suppliers to airlines -- Lurpak (Danish), Président (French) and the NZ name escapes me. In terms of world butter production: 1. India 2. United States 3. France 4. Germany 5. New Zealand

KLM (or was it Alitalia?) gave me a posh looking packet of whipped Irish salted butter to accompany some fairly generic brown roll on a recent flight. Some stores here sell Irish butter too, but it is pricey and I'm not sire what's supposed to be special about it.

That's correct. Still, I'd use it quickly, never know whether the filter was fine enough.

Found some butter propaganda. What to believe?
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings..
DO YOU KNOW the difference between margarine and butter?
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard medical study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added.
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .
And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease ... Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny micro-organisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

I love how this thread started out about butter and ended up being about radishes.

And now the papers tell us, butter=good, margarine=bad. I'm too old to care, and have been for many years ;D

I love it when militants for one or the other start making totally outlandish claims.
I remember reading somewhere that margarine is such a bad chemical invention that it is scientifically proven that "not even cockroaches will touch it."

The color of it ought to have been a clue. Gratefully, my family never bought into it. Although, when I met my MIL, that's all I saw in her refrigerator my first meal there and I truly did shudder.

I love radishes but never in a million years did I think that you do them a favour by eating them with butter! You have started something here Kerouac. We only eat butter in our house as the margarine flavour was totally unacceptable - never mind it being not good for you with all that hydroginised nikel. As a matter of fact a person I knew told me she bought magarine and then went home and whipped it in her electric mixer together with water. It trippled in volume for the kids school sandwiches. Those poor little kids.....

Oh I don't know so much - the nutritional and health effects might have been relatively marginal in themselves, and if it got them used to not expecting too much in the way of fats (particularly processed fats)..........
