Hi!
What does it mean? I guess you use it all the time. There is no kitchen spread where I come from.
I googled and found a thousand of spreads but I couldn't find ''kitchen s.'' .
Thank you
Context, Antonia, give us context! The expression is not familiar to me (your current book must be British.) A wild guess - something like margarine or mayonnaise that you spread on everything in your kitchen?
Hi Khoff,
In a bowl beat the low-fat cooking spread, flours, oats sugar, eggs and buttermilk until smooth. (recipe for pear pancakes).
It is British.
Cooking spread does mean margerine, as Khoff suggested.
He did well 'cos I was racking my brains for what 'kitchen spread' could be. There is no such phrase. It's a lot easier if you ask for a translation of the real words A!
Hi to you both!
Thank you for helping me.
p.s. I thought khoff was female
Guys, I have a problem.
What should I do with the cooking spread if it appears in the context:
Use butter, margarine or low-fat cooking spread.
In other words, what is the difference between margarine and kitchen spread?
I can't call it somekind of shortening because it's low-fat, and then it sounds awkard, if you know what I mean...
Thanks
Butter is definitely not low-fat. Margarine is not especially low-fat either, but they say it's better for the health than butter. Then you may have a third kind of cooking substance which is low-fat (I've seen some in my supermarket).
