It's still hard for me to believe that 10 years ago I was eating an über processed, fake food product called I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. By choice.
Good butter is hard to find in Brasilia. I have to drive across town to buy "Presidente" french unsalted butter. So expensive, too. Sometimes, my life is really hard.
That should have been in the pre-organic food era?
I've never heard of this product in Canada:-) it might be he case that the Canadian government imposes stricter standards on food imports:- )))
Anyways,I just now noticed an interesting book on provencial cooking as a giveaway through Julie Mautner’s site: http://theprovencepost.blogspot.nl/2012/11/another-fine-french-book-giveaway.html
Glad you've repented. That picture of real butter is mouth-wateringly good. And I'll bet you don't have to read the labels to see if the cows were fed on rGHB and other noxious chemicals. :sigh:

And Norman butter is the best of all!

Drooling over here... Not good for the keyboard.

I know! I was trying to be "healthy." Unbelievable!

You're right, it really is hard sometimes! :)
Ann
Some from Brittany might disagree...(but I agree with you!)
La Torontoise
It wasn't. And I should have known better than to eat that stuff!
Thanks for telling me about the giveaway.
Chantal
No, not good! :)

I try to buy from the smaller farms and local producers here in Normandy, so no, I don't worry about that. Luckily.

Sadly I think there will always be a market for low-cal, low-fat, no-fat, fake food in the US.
TCH
I am afraid to even watch that...he gives me the creeps! lol
Vicki
So very, very true...

Oh God, I still remember the taste of French butter from, well, decades ago! It cured me of being a picky eater. What a wonderful photo!
Anne
I've been giving gifts of Normandy salt butter to friends from Paris and getting them all addicted! :)
And I'm secretly hoping you manage to somehow smuggle me in a demi-kilo next time you're across the pond. :)
Zach
Sounds like a plan!
