Im having a visual.... Poor margarine
Who cares...Just grease it up and feed it to me. :supp: hehe
Butter all the way. Despite that lower cost we dont' even have margarine in the restaurant. Can't beat the taste, ever. With margarine, sauces come out tasting like crap, it burns way easier and just plain stinks.
Can't beat nature.
