Yeah, but look at how cheap guns are.

Damn, I need to get into the butter smuggling business.

Get me a few cows and some norwegian milk maids and I'll be set for life.

Nah, just get me the norwegion milkmaids.

Obviously people are willing to pay that price since it is that price in the first place.

Ummm -- NTTAWWT?

kronicfeld: Yeah, but look at how cheap guns are.

if there's one thing i know, it's that there is no such thing as a bad economics joke.

Jeg ser hva du gjorde det.

Farked already.

Odd, we had a butter shortage here in Sweden not long ago. I think that big butter is clearly farking with us. We need to invade the Netherlands, to liberate their dairy farms.

It's like V for Vendetta, with fjords.

Similar thing happened in Japan about 2-3 years ago... a combination of incompetent governance (two different government bureaus sold the country's surplus cattle to China w/o realizing the other had already sold them), drought in Australia (which meant they couldn't import cattle in a hurry), and laws requiring that a certain amount of Japan's dairy production be put into milk for schools caused butter prices to skyrocket.

It never got this bad, though.

Oh, puh-leaze Louise. It's not the black market. It's eBay.

I wonder how many of those guys are getting their asking price?

If it were me, I'd switch to margarine or virgin olive oil, maybe throw in a little garlic or some herbs and salt, especially if you're talking mussels. Or you could do a nice wine sauce instead of butter--at that price, why not Champagne or Madeira?

Have some Madeira, m'dear!

Masher!

You make a white wine sauce without butter? Please share. I love butter, gives sauces that silky sheen.

If it was illegally imported I'd say that's black market.

Sapper_Topo: My whole family is of Norwegian stock and I can tell you this not having butter to a Norwegian family would be a catastrophe. It literally goes with every meal. I can think of a family meal in over 35 years that didnt have butter heavily involved from the preparation to having bread and butter on the table at every meal. Heck one time I did southern BBQ for a family reunion and there had to be a plate of sliced bread and the butter dish on the table. Oh and some kind of pickled vegetable with every meal too... Norwegians have weird table practices.

What? No herring?

GaryPDX: Damn, I need to get into the butter smuggling business.

Before you do this you may want to look up some common Spanish swearing phrases

There has to be a viable way to make money on this without leaving my desk.

If you have some heavy cream, time and energy, you can make your own.

Thank you, Norway!
