The rest is other plant oils, water, and assorted additives, including a few milk solids.<BR/><BR/>Butter used to be much cheaper (about $2 for homebrand) and that has almost doubled (last time I bought butter the cheapest was $4 for 500g!)<BR/>The olive oil spreads which used to be seen as a luxury product are now often cheaper than $4 for 500g - I commonly get them on special for $3 or $3.50.<BR/>Homebrand pure olive oil is not that expensive, so one can do the Mediterranean thing and get crusty bread to dip in it. Doesn't work with Molenberg, though ;-)Grace Dalleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184423873725462269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-9435963482836333522008-08-03T08:32:00.000+10:002008-08-03T08:32:00.000+10:00Jana - they really are.

Geekman deals with it by questioning them aggressively about their beliefs when he's had enough to drink.<BR/><BR/>Maude - no, I haven't seen it. I've heard of it, though.<BR/><BR/>JustMe - it's very common, at least here. One of the most common brands is Bertolli, also Olive Grove, but you can also get it in the Flora brand (flora proactiv spread - olive), and even in the homebrands of some supermarkets.<BR/><BR/>Some of them contain more olive oil than others, of course.StyleyGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287051608503966129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-85416775585262717832008-08-03T03:00:00.000+10:002008-08-03T03:00:00.000+10:00ok, this is also off topic, but what is this olive...ok, this is also off topic, but what is this olive oil based butter spread and where can i get me some?! i am lactose intolerant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-50002015717706234012008-08-03T00:32:00.000+10:002008-08-03T00:32:00.000+10:00okay, this is completely unrelated, but you mentio...okay, this is completely unrelated, but you mentioned goat cheese and that made me think of sheep, and since you're in NZ, i've been wanting to ask if you've seen the movie _black sheep_--you know, since it's about man-eating genetically modified sheep roaming the NZ countryside. again, totally unrelated to your post.<BR/><BR/>also unrelated, --congrats on finishing dr. styleygeek!Maudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918488082176862598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20717535.post-67233660135448744942008-08-02T21:06:00.000+10:002008-08-02T21:06:00.000+10:00I hadn't realised that your in-laws were so religi...I hadn't realised that your in-laws were so religious as to attend church regularly.
