Heh. Not rude. I'm just doing my bit for the export council.

Back when I was a little one (well littler than now) there was no
distinction. Butter was Lurpak and Lurpak was butter. We would go to the
dairy shop next door and ask for 1/2 pound [250g] of butter and the nice
lady would grab her wooden spoon and dig into the half-barrel laying in
its hole in the wall, slap the butter down on the paper on the weight
and hardly ever get it wrong with the first scoop.

Other brands of butter only ever appeared with the discount supermarkets
importing stuff (mostly from Germany).

Nowadays Lurpak seems to be marketed (and priced) as luxury brand here...

Your arteries care, probably. But living like you're already dead is
kinda pointless. Put some strawberry jam on top of all that butter...
