Obelixx, butter with sea salt crystals - yum ! Why is it things like that are considered bad for you ? All things in moderation l suppose. *Feels curmudgeonly*
It's wonderful. There's also half salted butter and non salted butter for different purposes but for eating bread with cheese or soup it has to the salt crystal type from salt pans along the nearby coast and all the way up to Brittany.
Better for you than low fat spread or margarine with those hydrogenated trans fats.

Why do recipes say use unsalted butter and then tell you to add salt? More of life's mysteries: why is it ok for supermarkets to keep their eggs in a shelf when I'm supposed to keep them in the fridge? Why has a round of unripe camembert in my fridge got a use by date of last month? I tasted a bit and I'm not dead. Why do things in vinegar or oil such as olives or capers have to be kept in the fridge or used by Tuesday. Have bacteria got digital timers? Are they waiting until the clock ticks over to jump out and get me😱
I haven't kept my eggs in a fridge for years. I don't keep opened capers in the fridge either but I do olives as mine are not in oil or vinegar.
Don't like Camembert except when I need a nibble for apéro and then I put a whole one in an oven-proof dish, sprinkle on walnuts or pecans, demerara sugar and kahlua, Tia Maria or Amaretto and bake for 15 mins at 160C fan. Serve with chunks of fresh baguette. Never any left to get to a use by date.

Feeling slightly curmudgeonly as l have lost part of a tooth, luckily it's not painful (at the moment). A trip to the dentist next week. Bits of me seem to be playing up or dropping off at the moment!
