On the subject of butter, did anybody ever get Canadian butter during, or just after the war? We must have had it because I remember my dad used to give me a crust with Canadian butter on it as an early morning 'filler' before breakfast. It was divine! I can still taste it. It had that now forbidden ingredient, salt, in it. Absolutely delicious.

Loved Canadian butter. It was so much better than American, but then I was used to "oleo," a term the younger listers probably would not recognize. -----Original Message----- From: Pauline Kirschner [mailto:pdk541@bigpond.net.au] Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2005 7:51 PM To: LANCSLIFE-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [LANCSLIFE] Best butter On the subject of butter, did anybody ever get Canadian butter during, or just after the war?
