Reader's Digest 5月号の 'The Food on your Plate' は 'Butter' が主人公で、その記事からの引用です。
I'm from the cream skimmed off milk. Does it get any better than that? Cream contain tiny fat globules that float around ignoring one another. Yet when you shake, beat, or churn them enough, amazing things start to happen. First you incorporate air, whisking up whipped cream; churn longer and the sticking together until blobs of golden dairy fat are floating in watery milk--buttermilk. Drain it, wash the milk fat with water, give it a knead or two, add some salt (or don't), and bada bing, bada boom: me!
