Which one of these would you choose?

Lurpak

I don't like unsalted butter so wouldn't buy either.

the French if it tastes like Lescure

Neither. Butter is too fattening.

The Lurpak because the French one wouldn't fit in my butter dish.

Why ask the question?

I just wondered whether people's decision would be influenced by the packaging - both are identically priced at £1.70 so are essentially the same but just wrapped differently - and, of course, one is danish and the other french 

personally I prefer the french one 

Has to be Flora original, for me. Don't use butter although I used to eat Adam's which was delicious.

Mister Badger, I've always found that Lurpak is the purest of butters. I wouldn't dream of ever using anything else.

Luddite put up an excellent post many years ago which said that during WWII because of rationing and the ports etc only Adams butter and Lurpak were used in this county (other than anything made by local farms I'd suspect) and it had a clear demarcation point in that The North had access to/used Lurpak and The South, Adams - and it's still very much in play today because of the way people have been brought up (eating habits passed down).

Of course, he might have been telling a load of porkies! But I don't think so.

kenny, any maragarine is a load of rubbish.

Butter is pure.
Margarine is man-made tripe and is no good for you at all - no matter what the ad-men want you to believe.

*margerine

Margarine is grey before they add the colouring.

Chemical gloop.

I don't do shopping, so didn't look at the picture, but for the sake of the thread, I had to make a blind choice. 

The one on the write, for me.

True Tommy.
It's said that If you lob a slice of bread with margarine on it out onto your lawn, flies ignore it.

I don't eat butter or butter substitute so my choice is unbiased.

I find the French presentation and packaging the more appealing. The Lurpak looks like a drab brick in comparison.

I can believe that, CMAT, that even the flies wouldn't touch margarine.
No flies on them!

I think the French butter looks like a packet of biscuits - and probably full of garlic and haw-he-haw-he-haw!

Still not looked at the picture.

I wouldn't dream of eating it Tommy, even if it was a roll of biscuits. They contain emulsified fat too.

I have in the past only ever used lurpak unsalted tommy, for exactly the reasons you state, but I thought I'd give this french stuff a spin based purely on the packaging - and I'm always one of the first to claim that I'm not influenced by marketing gimmicks 

Concerning margaine, I think I once read somewhere that it's only a couple of molecules different from some sort of plastic
