I had to use butter though, since that's all we have in the fridge.</p> <p>The mention of margarine got me thinking about growing up, when all we had in the fridge was margarine. Butter was considered a rare treat, and we only ate it on special occasions! Mmm.... baked potatoes!!</p> <p>How about you: did you grow up eating margarine or butter? Also, which do you eat now? </p>
