Foodie Find of the Week: Speechless


Do you remember last week when I was whining about those hazelnut creme wafers that so rudely deposited dust and disappointment all over me?  Do you also remember me saying that I wish just once I could come here on Foodie Find Day and say "have I got one for you this week!" without my trademark sarcasm?  Well guess what.  It's that week. 

HAVE I GOT ONE FOR YOU THIS WEEK!  But alas, it has rendered me speechless. It is hands down the best butter I have EVER had.  Ever.  Ever in life, it is the best, and I defy you to prove me wrong or disagree.  You will not find a better butter. 

Do you remember that episode of Will and Grace where Grace is going on a date and Will cautions her not to eat the butter without bread...as in eating just a chunk of butter?  I was completely disgusted at the thought.  As I was at that new popcorn commercial where the father is caught by his family with a unwrapped stick of butter hovering over it about to take a bite.  I know better now, and fully understand where these two seemingly misguided souls are coming from. They must have THIS butter.  

I will have you know ( just because I'm sure you are wondering if I just bit a chunk off) that I resisted the urge to eat it straight from the package.  I used bread.  I'm a lady, dammit. 

I try so hard not to use "strong" language here, as I removed the "Adult Content" warning in effort to clean up my potty mouth, but....F*ck what you heard.  Delitia Parmigiano-Reggiano Butter is the BEST butter around. Plugra? Lurpak? Please.  They can't even hold a candle to this stuff. 

I'm not even going to attempt to describe it.  You have to experience this one for yourself.   I will admit it's a little pricey, but you get a decent amount of butter for the seven dollars you have to trade for it.  Seven dollars for butter?  Surely, I made a mistake, right?  In these hard economic times, I couldn't possibly be suggesting that you go out and pick up seven dollar BUTTER?!  

Friends, I'm afraid I am, and I'm doing so unapologetically.  Don't you deserve a treat for all that penny-pinching, recycling, and general do-gooding you've been doing?  I think you do, and I think this it.  Actually, I know this it.  I found it at our favorite store to blow an entire week's salary--Whole Foods. 

Go get some and try like hell not to eat it with a spoon.
Enjoy

  1. a little fyi about this butter. i spotted it at Fresh Market for about 4 dollars. three dollars (!) cheaper than whole foods. at that price it is a bargain and you'd be silly not to pick some up. silly. what are you waiting for???????
