Giselle-Mother's Margarine

[Guest]

Giselle,

 

The Mother's Passover Margarine was available at kosher.com. However, how did you find one that doesn't contain artficial flavoring? I called them and asked for the ingredients. It included artificial flavoring.

Hi Carolyn - mine does contain artificial flavoring - but it doesn't seem to effect Hoyt - but I hardly use any - just every once and a while - usually on cinammon toast which is maybe every other week or three. I'd be interested to know what the artificial flavoring is made from so if you find out I'd love to know.

Giselle,

 

I asked about what the artificial flavoring was made of and they responded in writing telling me that they didn't have that information available.

Hi Carolyn, well that sucks - guess you won't be buying it then - although you might still try it as Hoyt reacts quite strongly to artificial anything but not to this. Mind you we don't use that much of it - only on cinammon toast now and that's maybe once every other week. He's been eating olive oil with anything else we used to use margarine or butter for - but if I recall you have issues with olives? I've even been putting olive oil on popcorn and using lots of salt - oh, I forgot to tell everyone, last round of testing showed he wasn't reacting to corn anymore! What a total relief - I have gone back to it only sparingly but it makes eating out so much less scary and he gets the odd evening of popcorn and a movie! Yeah - especially for me because I only eat the things he can eat so that he doesn't feel so alone so now I get popcorn too! (organic of course!) Good luck with the margarine.

Giselle,

 

Nope, I don't plan on buying it. I think it's all gone anyways. I don't have much of a need for butter anymore, and I've been using ghee once every four days plus many other oils. Yes, olives are a problem for me.
