That's why margarine is great. You don't have to refrigerate it, so it's always soft and easy to spread.

Of course, everyone refrigerates it anyway...

Other than cooking, I don't know what I would ever use hard butter for. If I make toast and find that the butter is still solid, I eat it try. Why bother fucking with that crap.

slice butter thin, put on hot toast evenly spaced. Wait 30 seconds and spread evenly.

Or endure your dry toast.

20 seconds in the microwave should soften the butter but not melt it...MMMM, spreadable butter...

FYI, the restaurants keep butter cold because, just like other dairy products, butter will start to go bad once it warms up...(rancid butter FTL)

Yeah but there's a difference between keeping it in the refrigerator and packing it with ice. They should just put it on the table in smaller amounts and no ice. THen it would get used by the time it went bad. Or just bring some when you bring the waters and such. heh.

At the place I worked at it was kept in a large metal tub in a cold tray, then it was scooped into dishes that were taken to the customer. Granted, that was almost 9 years ago, so things may have changed (not likely)
