You can bottle your own, I know British Red does a great job of this, but I want the convenience of ready tinned.
Shipping in from the States is too expensive I've already checked. However, you can get it in Spain and Holland, so any Dutch members out there willing to ship me a few cans?
Back in the 70's you could get canned Lurpak very easy in the UK, just went out of fashion I guess

How about a german butter dish from the last War? they are made of bakelite I believe and you just fill it yourself and screw the lid on. My Dad uses one for his Reenactment and he says it lasts a weekend and no problems, if you stow it in your pack it stays even cooler. You can pick them up for a few quid, he is getting me one the next time he goes away doing his thing!

Good idea chap, but I still want some tins to go in the household emergency rations
Ahh, I didn't realise that was what you wanted it for. Does butter actually go off if it is kept in the fridge? Could you freeze it?
My fellow bush buddy some indian food shops stock a product called Glee butter, but her I know yo can buy it here

Gee is clarified butter, you can do this yourself by warming normal butter gently until it turns to liquid and then skim the top to get the Gee, real heart stopping stuff though, its used quite heavily in indian cuisine.
Probably better off asking advice on the Ludlow Survivors Group forum! Fair bit of cross membership on here so you will be well recieved!

How about 6 tins depending on size and shipping costs?
Eds, I am a brummie by birth, grew up on Ghee
and remember, Cardiff is only down the road from me but thanks for the offer Good stuff but not the same with a marmalade and marmite sandwich (point of education for those of you not from Birmingham, my home city is the curry centre of the world outside of the Indian sub continent, no offence to anyone from Manchester or up north who are still under the delusion that you can get a pukka curry anywhere north, south, east or west of brum)nicodiemus, I tried the LSG forum but failed to find the answer there mate to my needs, good site though
Fishy, let me know the costs and size of tins please, many thanks

Sorry Rik but Bradford is the Curry Capital - we are now send chefs back to the sub-continent to teach them how to cook.
