Yeah, all of these dairy substitutes are different products and better for different applications. I think oat milk is actually better in coffee than cow’s milk, for example. I wish people would talk about them this way. Most of the time people only say they’re replacements for dairy, and they don’t go into detail where different options are better/worse.
That’s because cow butter in many cases has like 0 unsaturated fatty acids. In such cases it doesn’t even come from cows, but they hydrogenate oil to make a cheap and unhealthy replacement.
And I prefer real margarine. Your point? We’ve had margarine in our home since I was born and it works just fine. Why do I need to acknowledge the tastes of others when I say mine, when no one has done it in the thread?
Did you write the same comment to the one right before me suggesting oat butter?
And when you start looking at it from a chemical composition standpoint, they are very different things (and I’m no chemist).
I have nothing against margarine, used a lot of it in my life - it has it’s uses, but it isn’t butter, anymore than cream cheese is butter or margarine, though the three have similarities.
If you spend any time baking, all 3 have their use-cases, and can rarely sub for the other.
So? I said that we used margarine in our house as a default. It worked perfectly for baking cake in the years we did it at home, you can saute things with it instead of butter, and it just works.
I don’t care if it tastes different, it’s better. Feel free to have your opinion.

Eh, not really. I mean, maybe an actual chemist would disagree that this makes them quite similar, but the difference is basically one single bond becomes a double bond. To a lay person, at least, they appear chemically very similar.
Because they stand to lose a shit ton of money?
yes
oat milk is an alright substitute, helped by being cheap
oat ice cream has a slightly different texture and flavor, though its harder to notice in the Ben & Jerry’s
But oat butter is indistinguishable from cow butter

for straight drinking, soylent is the best milk replacement. I dare say it’s better than milk
But isn’t it green?
nope
I rather have my soylent made out of real freerange people.

Idk, we always used corn butter or margarine, it just tastes better. Not even from a veganism standpoint, it just better.
Whaat.
Of course you can have e your own opinion and preferences but surely you have to acknowledge that most people prefer real butter?
I’ve only had butter made from animals a handful of times. Nothing special.

Margarine tastes nothing like butter.

You have shitty taste buds if you’re actually being real and not a troll/bot for the oatmilk industry.
