That's why I love it - the combo of sweet and salty.<br />Interesting to hear that this kind of butter was a regional specialty several years ago. There are so many variations available at our local supermarkets.<br />And the coffee thing - I was really surprised at how difficult it was to find coffee beans in our part of France. We finally found a brand of ground coffee we like and have stuck with it.<br /><br />Like your new photo! :)Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-79853269089751022352010-08-06T12:49:55.865+02:002010-08-06T12:49:55.865+02:00"Sweet" butter, to me, means unsalted. S..."Sweet" butter, to me, means unsalted. Salted butter, whether <i>beurre salé</i> or <i>beurre demi-sel</i>, is different (but very good and very popular in France right now).<br /><br />I remember the days (a few decades ago) when <i>beurre demi-sel</i> was considered a regional oddity in Paris, and all the butter sold and served was "sweet." At the time, it was hard to find unsalted butter in the U.S. Funny how things change. Now it's kind of the opposite.<br /><br />It's like ground coffee vs. whole beans. Back then, you couldn't find beans in the U.S., and you absolutely had to have a grinder in France because you couldn't find decent ground coffee. Now it's all just the opposite.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-54951158440302513022010-08-06T07:45:26.319+02:002010-08-06T07:45:26.319+02:00Diane
