Definitely butter. I appreciate that margarine is softer, but I'd rather just leave the butter out for a bit to soften. It takes extra time sure but I think for taste and health reasons the extra bit of wait is worth it.
What's with all this trash talk about margarine? "1 molecule away from plastic"? It's literally hydrogenated vegetable oil and fats. It's food, not plastic. And it's definitely not worse for you than butter. If anything, a lot of margarines are healthier (or less unhealthy) than butter.
I don't even have a preference between the two. They each have their uses. I like to use real butter for baking, but I'm not going to rip apart my slice of bread in the process of spreading real butter on it. But I'm just boggled about where the anti-margarine propaganda came from lmao
I can't taste a difference...
I know butter is more natural and all, but you have to melt it first and it takes such a long time so I usually have margarine
