I didn't realize we were part of the same family. Are you by any chance my long-lost butter brother ?

I meant that it's not true that it turns to liquid

I'm certainly not going to waste a whole block of butter to convince you otherwise. Hmmm, I guess I could make a cake... but I don't feel like committing to that

I can't account for your opinions, but I grew up in a home without air conditioning. We kept our butter on the dining room table, in a glass container. We didn't refrigerate it, we used a butter knife to get some for our food.

I was surprised to learn that people ever refrigerate butter, and thought grocery stores did it to extend the life of the butter until someone bought it and brought it home.

I never got sick from the butter to my knowledge. It was never a puddle of liquid either, it was soft and easy to spread.

I'm more shocked to find out most people here aren't echoing any like in kind sentiment. Was my family strange? Is this actually that atypical?

No, it's just different climates. There's nothing to it
