Butter or olive oil?
That’s a good question, calorie wise butter seems to do a little better;
Butter = 100 cals per tablespoon (tbsp.): Olive Oil = 120-130 cals per tbsp. But fat wise, well you don’t need me to tell you how much worse butter to olive oil.
I doubt there is an advert in Italy showing a group of elderly British men and women dancing to techno with the caption “butter keeping hearts and joints strong”. Amusing as that would be it would never happen.
Personally I have a weakness for butter, as a child I would cut of bit of butter and eat it like cheese. I still have to resist the temptation to put a huge hunk of butter on my hot cross buns or scones. I just love that buttery tasty ….
