bonifartius 𒂼𒄄
@thor there recently was a thread somewhere here in fedi where the dislike for butter in the south was explained. goes back to the romans where butter and milk was the stuff barbarians and poor people used.
@thor @bonifartius I think it's simple: without fridge butter quickly gets rancid. in the past such food might only be used for a limited time and mainly in the North, where cold could preserve the foods.

@iron_bug that was a reason from the thing i read, yes (really have to search my browser history for it). only the peasants had access to fresh milk and butter in the south of ancient europe. those things always are considered as bad somehow, even if those people produce the food for everyone..
