Butter was really cheap around Easter, I've got six pounds or so in the
freezer. So it's butter exclusively. Tastes better, and as opposed to
margarine you have to use less to get a good flavor...

The salted/unsalted taste question for me depends on the context.
Some things are better for salted, some unsalted.

You can always add salt to the dish, you can't take salt out of the butter.
I voted for unsalted.

A recent TV commercial has some gal talking up fried foods?...

"...fried bacon, fried butta." LOL!

I never actually watched it so I forget what it's selling.

Knows fried bacon!

I bought a box of salted butter by mistake and it does taste great on
popovers and pancakes, etc.

I wouldn't make grilled cheese with salted butter. There's enough salt in
the cheese.

Unsalted for mashed potatoes also. The added salt to finish does the trick.

2nd question...
Sometimes salted is better, sometimes unsalted is better. Depends on what
it's used with/on.

My choice wasn't listed

I agree. *I like salted on my steamed veggies, but unsalted for baking or
cooking. *We usually just buy the unsalted because you can always add salt.


I also prefer salt on the surface, like with pretzels... just has a
nicer effect when salt is sprinkled on scrambled eggs after they're
cooked than to stir the salt into the raw eggs, I find less salt by
about half has a better affect. I much rather sprinkle salt on my
buttered bread than to use salted butter... whenever possible I'd
rather use salt as a condiment rather than as an ingredient. Now
where did I put that tequilla...

There's research suggesting the taste difference between
expensive sea salt and normal salt is only detectable if
there are crystals of salt on the surface of the food.
Otherwise, you're wasting your money.
