Butter isn't just Butter


What sounds better, hot Italian sausage with nutmeg, basil leaves and fresh, juicy chopped tomatoes or simple sandwich with lettuce, bread and butter pickles and sharp cheddar cheese? 
Some people may like to think simple and cheap recipes are the best. I have definitely found more than a handful of easy recipes that deserve some space on a five-star menu. However, that may not be the best way to pick ingredients.  

A recipe can be simple but some ingredient changes or updates make a humongous difference. Those that like pickles on sandwiches might know the different taste between dill to bread and butter pickles.  The taste varies on what a pickle is immersed in (whether it is garlic, fruit, seeds, or spices) and how long it is left in the mixture. Basically, depending on the taste we want, we may want to try different kinds. Bread and Butter pickles are sugary, but others, like dill, may be sour or salty.
Whether using pickles, butter or any other "simple" ingredient, I say, “Butter isn’t just butter.” Different brands offer new tastes, find out the one that goes on your own sandwich. Trust me, you will notice the difference.
