Butter alternatives

[Anonymous No.5761326]

So I need to stay away from dairy, I can deal with almond milk, no cheese is fucked but not as fucked as fake cheeses. What is the best alternative for butter? I know there have to be some decent ones out there since they've been trying for so long. Any other good dairy alternatives are also appreciated.

Why do you have to stay away from dairy?

I'm lactose intolerant but I can still eat some butter; it doesn't have THAT much lactose since it's not like you're just melting it into a quart and chugging it.

When I did use butter subtitute I used some brand called like bummel and brown or something, comes in a light blue container. It's not going to fool you for butter but it's decent.

I would've assumed you were just vegan but "I need to stay away from dairy" doesn't really give that impression.

Formed kind of an allergic reaction, I still eat dairy occasionally and just say fuck it but I went overboard recently and it had me all messed up. Just trying to find different ways to get my kicks. If I was forced to go vegan I'd ride my motorcycle into a building.

This. Healthier in everyway if you get a not-shit looking brand.

Why do you mean by allergic reaction?

When I hear that sort of thing from clients it almost always ends up being nothing if and when they have formal testing done, suggesting that it's psychosomatic.

Without getting into too many details it's worse than a lactose intolerant reaction, I have to miss work if it flares up too bad, kind of fucks my world up for a few days to a few weeks.

I've found lightly salted coconut oil to be a delicious substitute for butter. The distinct coconut flavor might be off-putting in some recipes, but it's excellent on bread.

If you don't care about rainforest and orangutan a in Sumatra palm shortening works, Coconut cream is decent, cacao butter is nice, lard/schmaltz is great too

Bacon fat is arguably healthier than butter.

I like using earth balance if it's for like toast, but blue bonnet light is fine in recipes and shit.

[Anonymous No.5762007]

butter can be replaced with any oil depending on the recipe. canola oil is tasteless if i recall well, can be good for cooking. Olive oil (balsamic vinegar optional) on toast or in sandwiches can be bretty gud.

[Poetanon No.5762009]

Jesus Christ, some extravergin olive oil will be fine.
