Butter Triumphs Over Spread in BBC Experiment
Blog Entry: Friday 06 Nov 2009
While the methods for making cheese, testing the quality of eggs, and creating low fat spread are laborious and don’t always produce perfect results, Jimmy proved that butter not only tastes fantastic, but is free from over-processing, and can be enjoyed even in its most natural form.
During the programme, broadcast on Wednesday evening, Jimmy set about making his own butter, and his own spread made from vegetable oil. By pouring cream into a jar, sealing tightly, and shaking for half an hour, Jimmy found himself with a lump of delicious butter! The spread experiment fared less well, when after adding a number of ingredients, and mixing them together he ended up with a substance that looked like spread, but tasted, quite simply, awful.
Watch Jimmy battle it out between butter and spread in the full episode of Jimmy’s Food Factory at BBC.co.uk.
