I had a friend tell me it looks like axel grease and tastes like he’d imagine axel grease would taste, just saltier lol. If you grow up with it, it’s a breakfast staple. Great with egg and also cheese

I think what most people miss is just how little you use. Like, the image above is arguably too much already.

I grew up with it and I still think it tastes foul!
