So what about the heinous Lurpakers? Are you going to give up your plastic-container-hybrid-vegetable-fat-bullshit?

it's hardly soylent greeen.

Where's your proof?

Stall at Borough Market sells Echire butter straight off the block, about 90p for 100g.

Here's an article from NYT about how awesome it is... sensuous slow melt indeed.

^sensuous slow melt?
ffs.

^^
charlton heston hasn't appeared on telly saying "lurpark is soylent green is people".
yet.

it lasts for ages - we go through it fairly quickly ( about 1 pack per week/10days), but i'd say you'd get 2 weeks easily if somewhere coolish.

ours is just in the kitchen, normal room temp, and we've not had any trouble with manky butter.

stick it in a bog

(peat bog)

When it comes to butter, creme, cheese and chocolate, nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING tastes as good as the Swiss stuff.

The best memories that I have of my childhood were related to having my grand-maman feeding me simple stuff ... tasted so good, I've never managed to find anything like it anywhere else.
Ok, maybe the fact that everyone around me spoke french and I didn't get a word until I was a bit older contributed to the fact that food was the central topic, but hey!

Sweet saffron bread, called http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuchaule. Butter on to, and then a good glob of something the call mustard, but what is really more like a spiced sweet marmalade: Moutarde de Bénichon.
Or potatoes, butter and Gruyere or Vacherin de Fribourg.
Les pains d'anis. Les http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricelet.

Wish you could get that stuff here.

Whatever you do, don't bother with Italian Butter.

It's shite.

Right, tomorrow looks a bit mixed weather wise.
Also I managed to fall up some stairs while being drunk and now have a bloody tennis ball size bruise above my knee and trouble to straighten the leg. One reason that I never drink much is stuff like this, really.

With regrets, I think I am out.

Ooof. I'm in for something like barhatch if someone else can gps/lead it - I have no maps or technology.

You can borrow mine if you fancy?

Thanks for the offer pascalo - weather is weathery as feared. I'll get a bit more organised with maps for next weekend if anyone's up for a gapfiller. SSTC gapfiller long sleeves edition.

Hope by then my knees are good.

So, my bike's only fucking ready, which means I can get SSTCing asap.

It's ready 3 weeks (and 1 payday) before I was expecting, so I need to find some serious cash down the back of the sofa before I can collect it...but I HAVE A BIKE AGAIN...whoop whoop.

Looking forward to riding with you guys soon

You need to post this in about 30 different threads, Jenny. :P

Good news though! :-)

^ haha - nearly started a whole thread of my own in celebration.

There'll be pics on the Rolla forum when I have it in my grubby little hands...

start a thread. we'll post on it. if you want, we can go on a jenny's got a new bike ride.

^ What is this shit??! I come back and all of a sudden it's a "jenny's got a new bike" ride?? It's the Lurpak Spreadable ride. Fuckers!

P.s. Jenny, I am happy for you. Really. But this ride is about butter. Not bikes. Make no mistake.

If it's about butter, WTF has Lurpak Spreadable got to do with it?

Whatevz! It's about Lurpak Spreadable in any case.

You'll see sense, once your concussion's worn off.

I'm reading about this Echire butter at Borough Market. This is not normal behaviour for me. I must still be concussed.

Just get some liquid silk and be done with it
