How did Irish solve the Butter question?
>>22212433They were discounted in my local store. I snapped buyed one
For me its picrel except in spring when I buy local butter, the cows are all grazing spring wildflowers in the spring and the butter is amazing.
i am so tired of products
>>22212433still waiting for someone other than a plastic paddy yank to explain how this brand is different to any other european style butter
>>22212442>still waiting for someone other than a plastic paddy yank to explain how this brand is different to any other european style butterI think it's because it's the only exposure that Americans have to Euro style butter and the fact that the American export is festooned with 'Ireland' and 'Irish' all over the packaging. It's also pretty well marketed but it's no different to any other Butter we get here in England.
>>22212447Plugra is just as common as Kerrygold. You can taste the difference between them and American butters in the unsalted varieties but most of the difference between them is just what the cows eat. Plugra though has a bit of the sour cream sourness which few butters have and I love. And for what ever reason, Plugra unsalted is easier to knead into a dough than any other butter I have tried.
>>22212447>product gains slight popularity>omg do americans really? America america america america wow i cant beleeb americans would do that gee wow really america? Do you really?Jesus. Its a popular butter. The end. Get your dumb fucking pinheads out of your dumb fucking asses.
>it's not Irish it's Irische!europeons are so fucking cringe
>>22212467I answered a question posed by another anon . . .why do you feel the need to have a hissy fit over it, Euro and British stuff is mentioned all the time but we don't scream about it like a big girls blouse. >>22212464>PlugraInteresting. Never heard of it before, I did some checking and it's not grass fed, so does that mean it's lighter in colour?
>>22212464>Plugra though has a bit of the sour cream sourness which few butters have and I love.looks like its french inspired and the french culture their butter
>>22212476I checked out Plugra and it's not cultured, neither is most French Butters but like some English butters it is done and tends to be more expensive because of all the faffing about involved.
>>22212438>No added hormones >No artificial ingredients LolNow I'm curious what kind of abomination mutt butter is like
>>22212474Can't say, never compared. I have seen paler butter but I have also seen darker. >>22212476Texture wise it is about halfway between normal butter and cultured although the salted is a bit closer to normal butter and the sour is either less or hidden by the salt. I assume they just let the milk sour a bit before churning and this gives it its sourness and different texture, but I have no clue.
>>22212488Growth hormones are legally banned but every dairy product still syas they don't use growth hormones.
>>22212493>Growth hormones are legally bannedNot in the USA though.A couple are used for dairy cattle and a whole shedload of them can be used for beef cattle.
>>22212447>butthurt anglo with his shit butterKerrygold isn't a brand. Its the standard.>Grassfed IRISH cows (access to more, and greener grass due to IRISH climate).>Richer and creamier than standard supermarket butter>Naturally golden yellow due to beta-carotene from grass-rich diet>High in Omega-3 (naturally)>Cows are happier, which makes you happy>Tastes like butter>Softens beautifully at room temperature>Ingredient list: cream + salt.Those lutheran heretics can't make real butter and are always trying to besmirch the Irish birth rite.
>>22212616The Lutheran heretics make plenty of fine butter.
>>22212616I don't know what to make of this?Has advertising really brainwarped you this badly? >Kerrygold isn't a brand. Its the standard.I'm guessing this is some sort of bait? Yeah . . . . whatever you say kid . . . .just stay away from me and my family.
>ITT: americans discovering what real butter tastes like
>>22212433Potatoes
>>22212437this! lidl broke off their their kerrygold deal and stopped bringing their private label kerrygold made butter
>>22212625Eurotard doesn't get fresh amish butter.
>>22212923>fresh amish butter.Congratulations.You now have an idea about what real butter tastes like.
you can just shake a jug of cream and get butter. everything else is larping for your money
>>22212937>you can just shake a jug of cream and get butter.Which you have never done.Even so, it's all about the quality of the dairy to start with, crap cream=crap butter.
for me its halal certified tillamook
>>22212438>>22212476>plugralmaoLiterally sounds like "fatter" in french
>>22212937then why spend an hour doing this, are they LARPing for money?
>>22212940i actually have done that. we did it in school when i was like 4
>>22212996i wasnt referring to the good amish. they are real.
>>22212616Grassfed cattle is the standard in UK and ireland, it is not considered a specialty product.
>>22212940i wonder if it would be cost effective to buy high quality cream and make butter from it. assuming you have nothing better to do with your time
>>22213224Absolutely you can do this. But let's be realistic here . . . .Who are you trying to impress? It might be a novelty for a one off but damned if I am doing that on a regular basis, I am just a guy at home and not chasing Michelin Stars. Some of the top Butter makers here in Britain get their cream from Jersey Cows (best in the world) but geography means it's pretty much impossible to get this in the USA.It's pretty much a matter of boasting rights and unless you are trying to impress a panel of judges, it's not worth worrying about too much.
>>22213303>Who are you trying to impress?my eventual wife will realize she loves me when i show her my butter churning capabilities.
>>22213170grass fed is the standard everywhere, faggot. congratulations, you're a dumb fuck that fell for marketing. keep paying more because you're too dumb to learn how cattle farming works
>>22213370About 1% of dairy cattle is certified grass fed in the US. They're mainly CAFO.
>>22212529He's confusing it with chicken and pork (in which hormones are actually banned in the US but every chicken/pork product still carries the label).Dairy cattle can have rBST here, but for the life of me I can't tell you a single brand of US dairy product that doesn't proudly proclaim the fact that they don't use the stuff.Additives are not allowed in butter, full stop. A lot of these labels pretty much amount to proclaiming their's no semen in it. The fact that you say you don't add it doesn't mean everyone else is.
>>22212442this product is magical. >be me>buy standard german butter for years ( I live in Germany) and it is the hardest substance known to man>have to scrape thin slices horizontally to have any chance to spread it on bread>one day my mother buys Kerrygold because it was discounted>the knife cuts through it like if it was butter (kek)>start eating buttered bread like a madman every morning, since then>even had arguments when anyone in the house wasted Kerrygold, like when they used it to butter the pan when someone wanted to make scrambled eggs>it went even so far, that we have 2 designated butter containers. one for kerrygold which is only for spreading on bread and then on for the cheap butter that is used for genreal cooking>the product range for butter even changed in the last 10 years>before that the standard butter made up like 99% of all availabe products>now its not even half of it and the other half is either Kerrygold or "Irish"-style butters that resemble Kerrygolddont like the irish but this is a fine product
>>22212937Culturing the cream is not larping. Pretending there is no difference is larping as someone who knows anything about butter for... I don't know why you do it. To feel good or to make people who know what they're talking about angry, I guess.
>>22213592lighten up
>>22213595No, you shut the fuck up about food you know nothing about.
>>22212433Standard european procedure, spend all your time perfecting something and acting like an insufferable faggot towards the rest of the world, the irish did it with butter, the germans with beer, the swiss with chocolate, the portuguese with fish, the italians with wine, etc.The funny part is that only europeans complain when you praise something from europe because they truly believe their version of everything is better than the others thanks to their own brand of bureaucracy and regulations or some other inane bullshit
>>22213631>the irish did it with butter,But they didn't . . .that's just the American delusion.
The Irish are primordial Europeans. Due to their distance from the mainland, they were never adulterated with waves of immigrant blood.
>>22213643>they were never adulterated with waves of immigrant blood.Thet were and they have . . .American delusion.
>>22213647I mean if they were, then the Britons were even more adulterated with the blood of the Angles and the Saxons, and later, with that of the Normans.
>>22213650Are those groups not Europeans?
>>22213651They are. So are all Gaelic groups.
>>22213654So using their admixture in other groups (and apparently the lack thereof in the Irish) to claim Irish are "proto-european" is meanngless, yes?
>>22213650Americans have fantasy versions of the Irish, who mixed with Vikings and Scots . . . .even St Patrick was Welsh. You think that the Irish are some sort of pure-bloods . . . .well dream on, they don't all wear green and they don't eat Corned beef and Cabbage . . . .it's just a LARP.Get over it.
>>22213657They are closer to "proto-european", certainly, than any modern European living in any major European city. This was always the case, and not a modern malaise. I suppose the population that is absolutely closest to proto-europeans is Basque country.
>red wine melts visceral fatIs this true?????
>>22213666What does this even mean to you?Even if we took for granted that the Irish are in a class on their own on ethnic purity, the other groups you mentioned as mixing with various European groups were, themselves, European. It makes zero sense to argue that one European group mixing with another European group would produce something "less European."I don't even need to dispute any of the "facts" you're claiming because the argument you're making is dumb on the face of it.
>>22213650The native Britons had less mixing with the Angles and Saxons than you think . . . .and despite your 'education' there was almost ZERO mixing with the Normans, who were just a replacement of nobility.
I have to respect England because of the place it has had in creating the modern world. The Bletchley Declaration, agreed upon at the birthplace of the computer, Bletchley Park, England, presaged yet at the same time attempted to forestall our current era of AI misalignments. Which. if you believe in the paperclip dilemma, could replace humanity in a+ blink of an eye. That said, the English are quite full of themselves. If I were English, I would be too.
>>22213672What do you think? Look at wine drinkers, do you notice that they're skinny fucks? (Some kind of are, because when your an alcohol and get all your calories from booze you do start to lose weight, just not visceral fat). You think that somehow the secret to losing visceral fat had been kept a secret for several thousand years? Come on, anon, use that big monkey brain.
>>22213689AI "misalignments" just show that there is no ONE pan-human ethic to align with.
>>22213700The laws of right and wrong are not objective, just as the laws of physics are not objective. The laws of physics vary, from place to place. It is just that we have never been in any other place to be able to measure those differences.
>>22213642Like clockwork
>>22212433This is just normal butter in the UK. You put "Irish" on anything from Europe and Amerigolems eat it up.You could put the shamrock on a bucket of gravel and Americans would put it in their coffee
Or you could make your own butter as we are on a food and cooking board
>>22213722It is probably an american viewpoint because Kerrygold is the "fancy" butter widely available at regular stores over here, and anyone who has a proper idea knows the irish don't have a monopoly on good butter in Europe. It's not really delusion because that's a strongly held belief despite exposure to contrary evidence, it's more ignorance and I'm not saying that in an insulting way. Just a lack of exposure.
>>22212433By making it slightly softer than regular butter so you can spread it right out of the fridge. The taste is identical but the added convenience is worth the extra money.
>>22214553You’ve literally never had Good Butter
>>22214351Euros simply can't stand Euro excellence and they still believe they can make the EU work
