Shameless flirting, that is...[-x

So is Lard, for that matter. "If you can find it". I blame Proctor & Gamble for introducing that Crisco crap 100 years that turned people off from natural lard, to the science of modified foods.

Butter has only one ingredient: cream.

Salt, which is optional, would be #2 when present.

What the heck is #3?

The blocks and tubs of lard on the shelf at the markets, at least around here, are hydrogenated and have preservatives added. Not a lot better than Crisco really. You'd have to render your own to avoid them - maybe a co-op market or real butcher shop might have natural lard, I've never looked.

I knew about the cream. If I make it myself I ever add salt. I'm also wondering what the other ingredient is.

Mass produced commercial margarine is an edible plant oil of some sort plus a bunch of other stuff, some worse than others, not sure if it's quite 90 ingredients, but there's a lot in there. If you make it yourself though, it's only a few ingredients and can be all natural.

weird, but only eat breakfast when I'm away from home, on vacation, and it varies depending on where I am

This sounds good.

I'm the same way. Don't normally eat breakfast. When I do it's typically 2 eggs scrambled, bacon, toast & home fries/hashbrowns, tall glass of OJ.

Coffee? That's regardless of whatever is on the menu. Death Wish and Cafe Bustelo FTW!

I don’t meal prep often, but it really helps to have two weeks-worth of breakfast prepared when the semester gets busy.

Asking for a friend….

If you're on a fishing boat and you have it with a donut.
