Stork margarine?

Posted on Written by

I was reading this entry in the Taking Children Seriously blog when I ran across the phrase “one block stork margarine.”

What is “stork margarine”?

Update 7/31/05: Annnnnnnnd…we’re done. I don’t know why this is the favorite target entry of morons who want to post stupid things, but no one else gets to post now either!

  1. Stork is a brand of margarine in Britain. (And if y’all don’t have margarine in your part of the world, it’s a butter substitute derived from vegetable oils.)

  2. I have a Stork margerine recepie book which my mother gave me before I got married 33 years ago, and have been usiing it ever since, Needless to say, I have always used Stork in all my baking and cooking, as I have found nothing else that comes close to it’s taste and texture in baking and making pastry.

    However, I was wondering if I can obtain any new receipe books, as this one is now quite worn. I would appreciate it if you told me how to be able to get any new Stork receipe book.

    I am writing to you from Malta.

    Thanks in advance,

  4. I found this site because I am desperating trying to find an updated of the Stork Recipe book, as mentioned in the previous email from the lady in Malta. I got my Stork Recipe book when I was in Grammar School 1970! Needless to say it is well worn and tattered, but I use it all the time and would love a copy to pass on to my daughter, who is now 21.

    I look forward to any information you may have about obtaining an updated version of the brilliant Stork Recipe Book.

  15. Have used Stork Block margarine for years with great success but this week, great dissapointment! Unale to get block marg. I bought soft Stork in a tub, not nearly as good. Sponge cake did not rise well and coffee butter icing was far too soft. Will not make the same mistake again!

  16. The “Art of Home Cooking” is available. I had a copy 33 years ago when at school and got a replacement that is as good as it was then. Contact the Stork careline phone nyumber UK 0800454050 for an order form. The cost of the book is 2.99

  17. I just want to know about the Stork family. My branch here in Canada lost touch after my grandfather died in the fifties. Sorry to say that to the North American taste Stork margarine doesn’t please the patate. Do nope to, though, to hear from family.

  18. I have recently been advised to try a lactose free diet and would be very interested in getting a copy of the stork recipe book. Can anyone help? Also does anyone know if all margarines have no milk products or butter in them?

    Thanks to anyone who can help

  23. hi, Liz

    Since u are in South Africa maybe i can help.i have just received my Stork cremendous recipe book, i found a page that u have to fill in in the June True Love magazine, u can get it in all book stores and post it and they will send the booklet to u.

  25. My friend has a chip van and only uses Stork on her raw chips – it’s the best ever

  26. Yes Stork is amazing on chips, its just the best colour. My friend was thinking about making stork ice lollies, sounds weird but im sure it will be a hit and definately not cancelled.

  27. I think stork is the only thing worth its margarine. My jim loves it on his ham sandwiches. It even says so in the bible, chapter 17 verse 4.

  28. I have a love interest called Ian, him and both of his kids are crazy for stork on toast, and stork sandwiches. Its not available in many shops down here in walford. Stork is also delicious in mashed potatoes.

  29. Here in the States we like to import stork especially for Christmas. We like to grind up ryvitas and stork on our raw chips – it’s a special occasion after all.

  30. Hi everyone,
    I have this friend called Anthea, and when I was staying at her house, she made me some toast and scampi. We had ten bits each.
    The toast was like a sponge which had been dipped in melted stork. It was all down my face!! Never tasted somethin that reminds me of being on my holidays – sounds silly I know. Its cheap as chips, I’m always saying that. My other friend says I don’t say that, but he’s just spoiling my fun. Ah-leeeee.
    Anyway, Anthea’s recipe for success is using stork to fry up her eggs in the morning. I just want something ‘plain’. Bov.
