Just the text: The general consensus is that the American dairy industry sucks so bad that if you want decent butter you have to import it from Ireland or New Zealand. I have no idea if this is actually true, as an American my palate has been destroyed by decades of eating flavor-blasted Cool Ranch Twinkies, but the certified professional karens on TheSpruce.com tell my wife to buy foreign commie hobbit butter, and "happy wife" etc, so we buy foreign commie hobbit butter. Initially I thought it was mildly interesting that our butter purchases might be supporting the IRA, not that I'm necessarily a diaspora republican, it just seemed interesting from an abstract political pespective, like "huh", but it turns out that Kerrygold was invented by a London Jew so probably not. Whatever, it's absolutely insane to import dairy from overseas, the 100% exact opposite of eating local fresh organic, surely Greta Thunberg's ovaries burn every time we scoop off a bit of transatlantic butter on our Thos. English Muffins, but the wife likes it, and she didn't complain too much about my latest investment in limited edition almost-vintage Nintendo Switch accessories, so it seems like an easy win.
Anon is pleasantly surprised his butter purchases don't support the IRA.

i think our shitty butter has something to do with pasteurization, my parents buy their butter from local amish stores so the milk its made from is unpasteurized, it tastes amazing but doesnt last as long

It's mostly down to fat% and diet. Most US butter is in the 80% butterfat range and sourced from corn fed cows vs the "good" butter which is 84-86% butterfat and from better-fed cows.

Unironically yes. Grass fed only beef tastes awful. The best beef is grass fed, finished on corn

I can second the Kerrygold suggestion. Foid brought some of that home and it tasted like it came from the teat of Jesus himself. Them leprechauns can make some butter.

I'm no stranger to 'american food bad' jokes, but if I'm gonna be serious for a second- I refuse to believe that a country this big doesn't have a single good dairy producer. Importing butter from over the ocean sounds absolutely mental

There are a bunch, but most the big brands at the grocery store aren't as good, they have a slightly lower fat content. Making your own butter is easy anyway with a good processor.

I made butter from raw milk that was milked just hours prior. I had a skimmer for the cream and a kitchenaid mixer to churn. It was so fricking good

It's all fat in the end. You are not going to die sooner eating offbrand butter. If you're concerned about that you shouldn't be eating butter at all, fatty.

I have not slept in 36 hours since being removed as a moderator and I have discovered depths of rage previously unknown to man. I could kill a moose with my bare hands and I'm fricking terrified of moose. Goddarn 8 feet tall and nearly one goddarn ton and I think I could kill it. There is fire in my blood and I need to get into a fight. Holy shit the adrenaline makes my skin itch. Holy frick I would like to tear something to pieces.
