Becel Plant Based Butter

[waldedw]

By accident I ended up with a pound of Becel plant based butter so the wife and I said WTH let's give it a try, the advertising claims it has all the taste of real butter without the cow....... that's pure unadulterated bull dung, not even close in taste or texture.

Staying with this a minute about a year ago I tried a beyond meat burger just to see what it's like, again not even close to beef in taste or texture, I guess I'm just from the old school, to me these are sort of like driving a tesla, some people think they are OK but they will never be for me.

I can honestly say that I will never become a vegan, I need my meat, potatoes and butter, not some synthetic plant based substitute.

I’m with ya. It’s pretty hard to beat the taste of butter. Years ago if I would go to town I would either stop at A&W or Tim Hortons. The day they introduced “beyond meat” was the day I quit going to both establishments.

Only a vegan would try and convince you that these replacements have the same taste. And they can't appreciate the taste of the real thing.

Margarine tastes like flavour gelled oil. Butter tastes like rich heaven.

When I was lactose intolerant I had no choice. Now that I no longer suffer from lactose intolerance… butter is soooo nice.

Hollandaise sauce made with margarine… just not the same thing.

Fake meat, fake butter, almond milk, Bud Light...brrrrrrrrr

[Smoky buck]

Non of it is a substitute for the natural food items. They are just different and some are just nasty

Any one who think these substitutes taste the same have dead tastebuds

Yup Butter has always been better , it’s was even better on the farm ,when we milked cows and made our own butter, and fresh cream is delicious

[Bushrat]

Never could figure out why Vegans who don't like eating meat are so fascinated with eating pretend meat.

Yup that was one job I hated when on the farm churning butter, but when it was done and spread on the warm crust of bread just out of the oven and a dribble of rogers golden syrup from the 5 lb pail, man that was heaven

I will say, butter these days is not good like it used to be. Just not the same. hard as crap too, even sitting out on the counter.

I miss good butter

It's true. We used to get a couple gallons of fresh jersey milk from the farm, every week. A couple inches of cream on top. Churn it with a bit of salt, heavenly.

But even bad butter is better then no butter. A few things in life are like that.

The wife buys “Gay Lea” butter. She waits till its on sale. They don’t use palm oil to fatten their cows. We can sit it beside a pound of dairy land butter and the Gay Lea stays soft.

Good to know! Thanks!

Beyond meat and Fake meat is cheating and disingenuous just like Trudeau. Vegans and hippies can't be trusted.

Vegans have made their choice ..... so stop trying to emulate meat if they are so against it !!!!!!!

My wife accidentally bought one too. I threw it straight in the compost.

My thoughts on vegan bacon as well

I agree. If I could find a farmer to buy cream from I’d happily do so and make my own butter.

Wife said she bought it on sale but couldn’t remember where

The Gay-Lea Grass Fed, salted butter in 250gram block is the closest we've found to old school butter. Spread that on some fresh sourdough bread, it will take you back a few decades.
We buy the Gay-Lea regular 1 lb. blocks for baking and cooking; it is about half the price of their 250gr. offerings.

IIRC Ontario is the only province that does not allow palm oil to be used in dairy cattle feed. That is why their butter products are not bricks of hard waxy substance with no flavour.
Our local butter is the equivalent of chewing a Crayola. We should be selling it to the US Marine Corps.

Palm oil in cattle feed and palm oil in the manufacturing of it might be the problem.

Apparently the fake meat thing is a bust, sounds good if you say it real quick, but the promoters are falling by the road side.

Kind of like when pot became legal and the big hurrah about buying shares in the industry only to have them tank as the government taxes it at 10.00 per gram when it is now about 2.00 to 5.00 per gram but still being taxed at the higher price.

Becel also pulled fast one before, claiming less saturated fat etc. They just added water and blended it well. Thus sold half as much margerine for real supposedly health product.

Never knew this, how does it make financial sense to import palm oil from halfway round the world, when the field next door is probably producing oil seed.

Costco sells in Kirkland brand or another one in a green wrapper of "grass fed organic" that is pretty good and it gets soft. Only problem is they don't always have it and it 9 bucks a pound
