Buffy fans - You've seen the TV show, now eat...

[ffutures]

Just had an email from Iceland supermarkets - their special offers this week include Willow, a brand of "traditionally churned" cooking margarine I've never heard of, at half price.

Yes, I'm easily amused...

Which reminds me, Iceland and Scandinavia and margarine and butter.

There's an old Danish wind instrument called lur, and that gives its name to Lurpak. If you look at the packet for Lurpak, you can see two lurs on it.

Is margarine even churned?

It seems unlikely. And even if it is, it can hardly be "traditionally churned", as the stuff was only invented within the last hundred years or so.

It turns out that it was invented a bit earlier than I had thought, in 1868.

I thought it was earlier, time of Napoleon, but I just checked, it was Napoleon III not Napoleon I.
