This might be a stupid question.

Postby bighands » 13 Jul 2010 17:20

We as a family have booked self catering for the first time (as we would normaly do all inc) my wife asked me a question that i would like to pass on for an answer as i have no clue.

Is it possible to buy lurpack butter in icmeler as i dont want her to try to pack some in case of a burst (butter and clothes dont mix very well).

Thanks.

I always take lurpak butter and cathedral city cheese, just put it in a carrier bag and wrap a towel around it and it will be fine.

buy a small plastic click-lock container, perfect size for butter and makes a good butter dish.
