Just ask the waiters to bring you pats of butter instead, and they will do it. We did just this on Discovery last week. Yes they will bring you pats of butter, but it’s the same product, just harder! Tried to tell us that they make their own butter. Come to think of it, I did hear mooing one night, but just thought my beef was just a bit rare. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMichael Posted May 20 #80 Share Posted May 20 Was on the Emerald only weeks ago, and they were using the unsalted butter, which I was perfectly happy with (especially since it was ideal spreading temperature). I'm sure you could ask for salted if you desired it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosevew Posted May 20 #81 Share Posted May 20 I asked about it when it arrived automatically the first time and was told it was only that night as it was Italian night. The second time, they had to fetch 'butter' from the Reserved dining area as they had none in our section. Does that mean that reserved dining get the real stuff and the rest don't?

Rare annmarz Posted May 21 #82 Share Posted May 21 We had fake butter each time on the Caribbean Princess last month. In retrospect we should have asked for the real thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMichael Posted May 23 #84 Share Posted May 23 We've been told that it's real butter by not only those of us who know how unsalted butter tastes, but also the actual Executive Chefs in charge of the butter, so at this point people calling it "fake" are either delusional or believe in conspiracy theories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is certainly 'different' taste, texture and look to what I would call proper butter. Maybe refer to it as adulterated and unadulterated instead. But it certainly isn't proper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it certainly isn't proper I don’t know if taking something away (salt) could be considered “adulterating” - if anything, the salt would be adulterating the pure unsalted butter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s is quite an art that they make the whipped up, so-called real butter taste so cheap and synthetic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted May 26 #91 Share Posted May 26 With all the salt in the food on Princess do you really need more in your butter ? We only use unsalted butter at home. Heck I grew up on margarine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllHandsAstern Posted May 26 #94 Share Posted May 26 I have a bachelor's degree in food science, and the butter we had on Crown these last 11 days could have had some real butter in it but frankly looked and tasted like whipped margarine. What's more, nobody serves unsalted butter in a restaurant, because it doesn't taste like anything. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess food has so much salt that I find I have to be careful or by ankles will start to swell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted May 31 #96 Share Posted May 31 I'm on Coral at the moment. This morning in the buffet the butter was white and sort of crumbly - it didn't spread well. I can't comment on taste because I had Vegemite on it. Now, at lunch in the MDR, it is light yellow, spreads easily and tastes like creamy butter. Go figure!
