    As a cooking ingredient, maybe, but if you’re using butter on toast, bread, etc. then Irish/French/British butter is clearly better.

    Also, the superiority of European chocolate isn’t to do with the cocoa content or the sweetness - it’s just creamier and has a smoother texture.

    I’ll agree with you on the beer, though.

      American here - Irish/French butter is the clear winner for buttered bread.

      Unfortunately found out I can’t eat anything with gluten, and rice based bread and other similar garbage doesn’t absorb properly, so it’s not longer something I get to enjoy.

      Still. Irish butter is my personal preferred.

      The difference is subtle and not noticeable to most people. You’ll do better in your testing and get better results switching to salted butter for things like toast. The difference just isn’t that big.

        1. No it’s not.
        2. I already use salted butter for toast – American is still worse.
        3. Yes it is.
