I have a food question: what's the norm in butter where you are: salted or unsalted? We were discussing how hard it is to find unsalted butter around here. My local supermarket is HUGE, and it still only stocks one type of unsalted butter and only in half-pound blocks. There's even local dairies that make extra-salted butter, so I kind of wondered if it was a regional thing for salted butter to be so much more popular.

Salted is the norm.
I like sweet potatoes just roasted or baked like white potatoes -- with butter and salt.

Roasted sweet potatoes with dill are delicious.

My grocery store always seems to have salted and un of each brand.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Butter's about evenly available salted or unsalted where I shop. Each brand seems to have both.

Me, too, but I can't bring myself to eat the skins, while I love the skin part of Russets.
I have no trouble finding unsalted butter, but I'm already in the organic section before I even start to look, so I don't know if that's generally the case around here.

Evenly available at Safeway in Md. Interestingly, local foodie radio chefs did a taste test, and not counting the fancy irish stuff, they loved the lucerne unsalted over a lot of other stuff.

Huh. I've never really looked for unsalted, but wouldn't have thought there was actually as much of it.

I remember when Land of Lakes was the only brand that sold unsalted because my sister didn't want me to buy the brand with the Native American logo, but no way in hell was I eating salted. Now I can get own brand unsalted.
Y'all should come to Jamaica and eat sweet potato and our range of yams. Whole different world. We don't have either of what you call yam or sweet potato.

Unsalted is incredibly good. You focus on the butter flavor. Love it on fresh bread.
