Waffles ... with syrup and (real) butter. Mmmm.

I guess I am a waffle snob....Real butter and real maple syrup....and the aforementioned bacon bits.

Yummy...although I've never tried it with the bacon stuff. I just love real butter and real maple syrup

Must be a US thing, I have never heard of a fake kind. We do have margarine here, which is a totally different thing then butter, but it never makes it into our house.

Speaking of sweet... Hi Tiff want some waffles?

Yeah...I got busy and skipped breakfast although there is a muffin looking at me. Sadly, I cannot partake as there a kids in here.

I thought this one was very blah originally. But I think it kind of has a western type feel to it now.

Margarine = fake butter.

Never thought of it that way. I guess it makes sense because it is used as a spread on bread, but so are lots of other spreads which are much better (and healthier).

Didn't they ban margarine in Wisconsin a few years back?

I've been a lot of places around the world where the stuff they call butter has never been near a cow at any point in its history....sort of like a certain nameless country that serves up steaks from Trigger and tries to call it beef...if it didn't moo at some point...it ain't beef and it ain't butter!

There are not too many folks I know around here that use it.

True...but not of them are marketed to be a butter substitute like magarine is (ex. I can't believe it's not butter)

Golly, I wish. I have some around for those times when I want a grilled cheese but don't have any butter out. Other than that, I hate the stuff. Ugh.

This would be a good advertising slogan.

We use a Butter Bell. It keeps the butter at room temperature without going rancid. I would highly recommend them. LINK

Growing up on a dairy farm...you get spoiled...we not only had fresh dairy products....but we also raised a few head of beef cattle and pigs each year.

Hi Tiff.

Margarine = chemically made plastic that is black/green, with pigment to make it look like butter. Also I believe it is 1 molecule off from being a hard plastic...

I hear you, all my relatives, and most of my friends were all farmers. We got nothing but fresh product ourselves. I don't know if I could handle it now, but I used to love drinking warm, unseparated milk, fresh from the cow.
I too would have been a farm kid if Dad had not lost an arm when he was 19.
