/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yup, just overpriced usually.

Still good though.

>>14260361
Yes and it's a fucking travesty there arent any American brands selling real butter. Kerrygold is expensive since its imported. Euros are lucky they can buy quality butter for cheap.

>>14260361
It's milk-based

>>14260386
There are no BIG american brands doing so. There are PLENTY of small farms that offer higher butter fat butter for a good price.

A local farm near me sells 5lbs tubes at $4.99/lbs, which is half the price of kerrygold around here.

>>14260361
its based, and cheap where i live. 4.50 a pound

>>14260417
It's sold by the half pound in the US.

>>14260361
I put a chip of it in my whisky.

>>14260402
Someone told me amish roll butter is mo different from store bought. Surprised none of the big brands have released a "premium organic" butter

This butter is not good. Americans have it bad if this is considered decent over there.

>>14260503
It's literally one of the best widely available, mass produced ones in Europe. What the fuck are you talking about?

>>14260527
This person
>>14260503
is an obvious try-hard faggot

>>14260527
You can very easily get isigny butter in supermarkets which is 10x better than this

>>14260540
Never seen it in my entire life and I live in Germany. Kerrygold is everywhere and it's God tier.

>>14260540
It's not all that widely available, stop acting like YOUR world is the entire world.

I remember having butter in Iceland and I about died it was so good. Wish I could get it here

>>14260550
It's a shame if kerrygold is the best butter you can get your hands on

>>14260568
You realize kerrygold is BETTER than what most people can get their hands on right...?

>>14260547
I live in the UK. Its widely available here alongside good cultured butter from somerset

>>14260574
It's available in the UK and France from what I can tell. Not seeing it much elsewhere.

>>14260569
That's a shame

>>14260581
I guess, your shitting on kerrygold just makes you look ignorant of the world though. No one likes a confident moron.

>>14260578
I guess re butter the UK is quite lucky. Funny because a lot of food here isn't that great compared to the rest of Europe

>>14260584
Not really. I still stand by the fact that if this is the best widely available butter in the US, you don't have it very good when it comes to butter.

We make homemade butter by shaking sour cream in a jar. It is very yellow and tastes much better than store bought. Much richer in vitamins.

>>14260483
better be jameson you drinkin

Question. Would buying the equivalent in heavy cream so you could culture it and make butter be cheaper or more expensive?

>>14260613
Jameson tastes like water

>>14260768
I bet you never had it pure. It's only really drinkable with a bit of water or ice.

>>14260747
Quart of cream costs ~5 bucks and makes a pound of butter. Pound of kerrygold costs 8.60, so the cream is more cost effective.

>>14260783
I drink makers mark neat, or knob creek. If I have money to waste I get Laphroaig

>>14260361
no. its butter

>>14260790
Making it it then. Righto.

>>14260790
Most of what i'm reading says it's 2 quarts per 1lbs of butter.

>>14260790
>When making sweet cream butter, I get about 2 lbs per gallon of cream

1 gallon is 4 quarts, so 2 quarts per lbs of butter, not 1.

>>14260825
>>14260832
Nevermind then it's cheaper to just buy butter

>>14260849
cheaper in the long run to buy a cow and make your own butter.

>>14260527
Hes right, real european butter makes kerrygold seem like margarine.

>>14260876
This

>>14260876
>>14260889
And america has plenty of small farms churning out great butter too, just not widespread across the entire country. If you're in an area without any dairy farms, then kerrygold is still a great option that's gonna beat out the average shit like your local store brand, or Land O lakes or whatever else.

>>14260902
american butter can never be as good as european. for obvious geological reasons.

>>14260768
that's why i fortify it with butter to give it a little more body.

I pay $2.99 per 8oz bar and it's worth every penny.

>>14260361
Best butter

>>14260386
There are shitloads you lazy fuck

>>14260902
And all of them contain soybean oil and hfcs.

>>14261178
lol no, not at all. This is local farm butter that I buy.

If I really wanted to I guess I could buy their whipping cream (35% fat) and make my own. but meh. Considering the ingredients are Cream and Salt, i just buy the butter.

>>14260595
My local farmer’s market has great butter. Walmart is for TVs and vidya games, not butter, Amir.

>>14261210
OH well, if they claim it only contains x and y then it must be true.
No american company has ever lied about their food products.

>>14261210
>salt
do americans really put salt in their butter?

>>14261248
...anon, everyone does that, it's why there are salted and unsalted butters in the store.

>>14261243
Lmao you're retarded.

>>14261243
They're an educational creamery/farm North of Washington DC, they allow full tours, they're not hiding some nefarious Soybean oil or HFCS in some secret lab the public can't see.

They're open 362 days a year to the public.

>>14261243
you're actually just jealous he isn't as lazy as you and cares more about his health, and is willing to drive to a farm to buy thr best butter he can from locals.

you are so pathetic its crazy
why do you do this? whats the point? grow up

>>14260768
*blocks your path*

The number of absolute batshit insane retards in this thread who think their locally produced butter only they can buy in some specialty store is proof that kerrygold is trash whew.
Kerrygold is the best butter money can buy at any given time pretty much anywhere in Europe in the average grocery store. It's always at your finger tips. There's nothing better that's produced on such a large scale.

>kerrygold starts sponsoring BA videos
>they immediately implode

/ourbutter/

>>14261337
Lmao obviously never been to France have you mate

>>14261276
>allow full tours
They dont. Its restricted access. You never get to see the full process.

>>14261378
I haven't been in several years, but you get to see a lot of the production on the guided tours.

>>14261284
i have cows and make my own butter champ.
youre a fucking retard who thinks factory "butter" only contains cream and salt.

>>14261383
Youre not allowed to see the final three steps in the production.

>>14260527
If you can get it at Walmart it's pleb

yikes

>>14261754
I don't want to live on the same planet as people like you.

I can't imagine being that much of a tastelet.

>>14262196
loling at all the soymen flyovers gushing about incredibly ordinary butter
We've been eating this shit since 2008, before they watered down the butterfat content. The packages used to be rock hard, now they give if you apply even an iota of pressure.
There are better butters out there for even cheaper, I'm not revealing which because flyover sheep ruin everything. I bet you guys drink "bone broth" and eat raw liver with matcha too.

>>14260503
pretty much this

>>14261276

It's... okay. It's not butter from Bretony (the best I had, hands down), but come on mates.

is the average US butter really that bad? kerrygold just tastes like normal butter to me

>>14262272
Let me put it this way, kerrygold is spreadable within a minute or two of pulling it out of the fridge.

Average store brand US butter needs to be left out on the counter for 10-15 minutes before it's spreadable.

This isn't even going into the flavor.

>>14262250
>flyovers

why are you so obsessed with the rest of america?

ive seen you post this in like four threads now, get help.

I can only imagine the average weight of posters in this thread. Are you puffy fucks just eating butter by the spoonful?

>>14262301
Socialists and communists can't stand people who have opposing viewpoints and lifestyles. This has been stated by almost all of their leaders, they cannot co-exist with any other system.

I just use I cannot believe is not butter brand or something like that for my toast

I've been using this shit as my standard butter for years, it's like £1.80 a brick. Is there something special about it?

It's the one I picked up when I got off processed oil spread shit because pretty gold packaging and I heard someone reccomend it once. I only use it to make my morning bagels a bit nicer. What other uses does butter even have if you're not baking constantly?

>>14262359
it's double the price of other sticks of butter (2 for 4 bucks vs 4 for 4 bucks)

>>14262368
Why are you buying 2 sticks of butter at a time, do you have a family of 4 daily users or something?

>>14262384
because in american stores you can't buy one stick of butter at a time, it's typically 4 or 2 for the imported stuff

>>14262250
>because flyover sheep ruin everything.
Who do you think MAKES butter you idiot?

>>14262389
American stores are all scaled for a family of 5 shopping once a month because it takes 3 hours to get to the nearest wal-mart in their flyover shithole.

If you're single and young there is no reason you should be living somewhere where your only grocery options don't even consider you a potential customer. I lived in Wisconsin for like 5 months and it was a fucking shithole, as a brit at least. Felt like purgatory.

Pretty based

too bad you can't downvote this one *dabs*

>>14262400
>scaled for a family of 5 shopping once a month because
Presumptuous and ignorant. The stick form became popular after a Louisiana restaurant requested 1/4 lb forms. Now it's about distribution. Four, one-quarters, is much easier to distribute. Of course retailers are not allowed to open them and sell them individually that would make the company liable any time someone got sick or something.

Butter isn't going to go rancid in the damned fridge and doesn't cost much, so no one is retarded enough to bitch about 1 lb being too much butter.

>>14262250
>flyover
I'm from a major US city. Kerrygold, Finlandia, and all the other imported butters are way better than any US brand.

>>14262470

>>14262598
no shit, that's like saying your cane sugar soda tastes better than HFCS. It's still just fucking cane sugar, you can stop sperging out

imagine paying for butter, i just reach for my wife's fat floppers and squeeze out a dash of thick mommycream that's fattier than cow butter.

>It's still just fucking cane sugar, you can stop sperging out

>>14262833
holly shit is that real?

it's not different from normal lidl butter but usually costs 1 euro more.

>>14262833
kerrygold is fucking *mwaah* if I do say so myself *snifffffs* sublime, it's actual real *chatter* butter, made with real milk from cows that aren't vaccinated with goyhormones every day. What luxury.

>>14262858
It's the type of "man" who has a mental breakdown over other people's butter choices in the wild

>>14262890
t. spergs out because he buys edible butter

This is what I usually buy. I think it's usually slightly cheaper than Kerry's Gold. It also comes in separate sticks, instead of being one big 1/2lb. block.

>>14262359
Spread it around before pan searing steaks

>>14262926
I couldn’t think of something more stupid to get worked up over than what type of butter another man eats. Get help.

>>14262806
Sugar is sucrose, or bonded glucose and fructose. HFCS is a processed mix of glucose and fructose, usually 42 to 55% fructose. The fructose content is much higher than can lead sugar, which affects the taste.

Yup, Plugra is my standard. Though I sometimes do kerrygold for mashed potatoes because i like the taste a bit better.

Is it better than generic?

>>14260361
Yes

>>14261210
holy mother of god we're probably within 50 miles of eachother

Pleb. Also, you can make your own if you aren’t a yard.

I read something about how the west coast of Ireland is this microclimate that's perfect for butter. Kerrygold is delicious.

>>14266451
If youve never had real european butter, sure.
kerrygold is industrial synthetic shit.

Ahh the euro cunts never fail to come through with a bar of soap since that's all they can afford.

>>14265953
Thats MSG.

>>14266536

Kerrygold is bottom-shelf.
Why do americans think its real butter?

>>14266521
https://www.myrecipes.com/extracrispy/fancy-butter-ranking


Ranked from worst to best

Kerrygold get's 4th place.

Plenty of euro butters placing far lower.

That being said, a meme french butter did take first place.

>>14266543
monosodium glutamate, one of the ingredients in Kerrygold®

>>14266544
If you think kerrygold is bottom shelf, you're a memeing retard hating it because it's popular and a large brand, or you're actually mentally ill in some capacity.

>>14266544
Us Americans don't give two shit about it, the only people that do are the people advertising it.

>>14266547
>one of the ingredients in Kerrygold
nope
>INGREDIENTS
>Pasteurized cream , salt

MSG labeling is pretty serious in the US. FDA wouldn't allow kerrygold to pull that kinda shit.

>>14266558
With enough payoffs the FDA will allow anyone to pull off more tricks than even your Irish leprechauns.

>>14266548
kek you need to try actual butter.
is Kerrygold seriously considered real butter in america?

>>14266566
So you have zero proof of MSG in the butter, and further you want to claim a vast CRIMINAL conspiracy of lying to the FDA repeatedly over many years just to keep the MSG off the label of your butter?

Come on anon

>>14266575
No, its not. It's for fairy faggots.

>>14260361
imagine buying salted butter.

>>14266558
If the label says so it must be true!

>>14266575
see >>14266545

Tastes tests agree, Kerrygold beats out a lot of euro butters.

>>14266558
Thats funny considering that most food companies in the u.s have been caught cheating and lying.

>>14266584
Ahh yes, lets just ASSUME all labels are bullshit, but only on products I don't like.

Any product I do like is telling the truth.

Gotta love retard logic. No actual logic is involved at all, makes defending your position simple though. Just claim whatever you want with zero proof or logic behind it.

>>14266589
Lmao, MOST food companies in the US are lying? Based on fucking WHAT evidence? Your ass?

and just for the record, you're claiming now that Beurre D'isigny, President, Les Pres Sale, Beppino Occelli, Paysan Breton, Échiré, Collier's, and Double Devon Cream are all shit-tier european butters.

>>14266672
You come across as a faggot, it's just butter. Do you really spend that much time on it?

>>14266663
And none of the butters on that list have any of those ingredients, you claiming they do with zero evidence is you looking like a retard, not you proving anything.

>>14260361
>grassfed

>>14266675
Because i'm tired of eurotards claiming kerrygold is bottom tier butter when they can't name a single butter brand that's better.

Except apparently Bordier butter
>i wouldnt eat any of them except Bordier Butter, and thats only when i cant get the real stuff.

and apparently even that BARELY meets this anons high standards, despite the fact he wont tell me what butter he considers better.

Eurotards screaming out kerrygold being mass produced crap is just fucking laughable if they can't even provide a better alternative by name.

>>14266672
All those brands use milk from cows full of antibiotics and hormones.

>>14266700
To each there own. Pick yer fights, butter doesn't seem to be a good one for me.

>>14266705
Again, then what is a good brand of butter, you still can't seem to answer that simple fucking question despite also claiming that you can easily get better butter.

>>14266705
How do you know every single one of those brands do that?
Those brands are generally considered some of the best in the world.

How much butter do you people go through where it becomes an argument over this butter or that butter?

This shit boggles the mind.

>>14266713
because i can read. when its produced in the EU they must document the manufacturing process.

I’m American (fat) and even I didn’t understand why people liked butter so much. Like, it’s nice but might as well replace it with olive oil since it’s a bit healthier. Then I tried Kerrygold and it all made sense, fuck that’s some good shit.

Anon, I'm sorry, but Jamesons is the Budweiser/Guinness of whiskey. Powers is the good shit, and the 12 year old is exceptional.

But sticking to butter, Kerrygold is good shit. I'd say Avenmore butter is a bit better flavour wise, but damn, Kerrygold sets the bar for what you should expect from a salted butter that you can leave refrigerated for days at time. Silky smooth.

I have heard that French butter is quite good also, if someone could confirm.
