Thanks for the rant, you’ve cured me from wanting to try it. I’ve eyeballed it on the store several times, never wanted to spend that much.

While you’re at it, can you make a rant thread about which type of Mayo to buy? And if the olive oil Mayo is any good? TIA!
Hillmans or nothing!

No, the olive oil mayo tastes like Miracle Whip, and only psychopaths eat that shit.

Go real or go home. Hellmann's/Best Foods, though Kraft mayo will do in a pinch.

I am kind of a butter believer. Use real salted butter and don't worry about the BS about dairy products....blah blah blah

There was a thread on here about butter and what to choose.

In there were many people that believed in the Kerrigolds (or whatever its called) Irish butter from Costco. So many of you were positive I bought $15. worth of it. It sucks.....looks and tastes like friggin margerine. All yellow and not tasty. Doesn't melt the same way of American butter. More oily and if thats what you like so be it.

Just buy your salted butter and zip it.....lol

That is all......

Now onward to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict :)
Don't try the Kerrigold cheese, its horrbile. Tastes like what I would assume a sheep's ass would taste like.....🤮

Kerrigold is great. There are some very expensive French Echiré butters that are [supposed to be] even tastier, but they are not as good for you as the grass fed Irish stuff.

The funny thing is that only Americans and Germans go crazy about Irish butter. No one else cares, except the Irish.

As to Mayonnaise, Hellman's is very good, but there is a Japanese mayo that is the Kerrigold of mayonnaises. If you Google, I am sure you will find.

For some uses, Vaseline is preferable, though.

Boating season ended early this year.

Kewpie is the Japanese stuff.
Duke's is the American version.

As the person that first posted a picture of Kerrygold in that other thread - I don’t know what Costco has to do with that brand of butter?

I never said I buy it there (I don’t).

And as someone whose 4 grandparents were born in Ireland, this was a flavor I came to like in my butter. Just like some other things that many people don’t like - cooked cabbage, boiled potato’s, corn beef etc.

Carry on…

Lol. I had to try it but didnt like it at all. Personal preference of course
My wife has picked up raw butter a few times and from a couple of mfg, it’s pretty awesome.
Raw Farms is great. However...I read about recalls on their milk and cheddar. How it didn’t include the butter is anyone’s guess?

Some interesting reading on the benefits of unpasteurized as far as omega 3 (that’s the healthy stuff) that is tossed out the window of pasturized products.

That Irish butter you tried tastes like Oroville Redenbacher butter flavored oil😂

Dangit!! I bought some too because of all the hype. I have a difficult time finding my Organic Valley brand at the supermarket and there's not a real health food store here in Havasu. So I bought some Kerrygold based on the recommendations. Haven't tried it yet. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.

Irish Butter??? Have you not had Irish food? What do you expect?

The butter with the elk on the package is the best. Elk milk is great for making everything.

I was raised on Oleo and Miracle whip. Not saying there is necessarily any correlation but in two different venue I was voted "most likely to go postal".

Honestly it DOES have a certain taste to it, I did not like it the first few times I tried it, Challenge all the way....

Cooking with it however, it imparts a richness to flavors that is excellent, and it does not burn at an very low temp like Challenge.

Like everything, your tastes change as you get older, I crave onions and broccoli and shit these days, when as a younger man I would only eat Taters etc.

Ha! I tried it this morning and thought it was just like any other butter. Made an egg sandwich. Cooked the California egg in Irish butter and then proceeded to put the Irish butter on my English muffin (is there a rule against that? 🤔)

So IDK, maybe Tom just isn’t used to the taste of butter from grass-fed cows. I didn’t notice any difference in texture or melting behavior 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’d buy it again. It is a little more yellow though for some reason. Not sure why.

"Fattier" is what I would poorly attempt to describe it....

Don't encourage the knucklehead :) Your GIF does resemble him a bit though
Hey now!
I dropped Lorraine off at the airport a bit ago so she could head home.
She'll drive out to your place and kick your butt.

It's grassfed butter, just like grassfed meat it has that strong flavor and lacks the richness of grain fed.

But some people like grass fed over grain, i prefer grain. To each their own.
