For example, if you insist on buying Advil instead of store brand ibuprofen. I mean, you’d be wasting your money in that example, but you do you

Irish butter, in particularly Kerrygold, are so much better than american butter.
in Australia you can get store brand butter that is every bit as good because it comes from NewZeland where every cow is grassfed.
Such a massive money saver that Woolworths now tells you where it's produced, for a long time it was an open secret.
And it’s probably fucking cheaper than exactly the same thing in New Zealand.
Yes, once I tried kerrygold, I never went back.
What's different about it?
It's deeper and richer. Sauteed onions in irish butter soften easier and taste more flavorful.
Kerrygold (and other imported-to-US/European, "fancy," etc.) butter just tastes better. It has more fat content than land o lakes, for example, which contributes. The unsalted version is also cultured, and that makes a difference too. It's definitely worth the price in any use where the butter flavor is important. In baking, maybe it's not as worth it, but even then I'd still use it over a US brand.
Fyi to Europeans: Any and all of our butter is what they call "fancy" or "high fat" over there, otherwise it wouldn't be allowed to be called butter in the EU
"I can't believe it's not legally allowed to called butter in the EU" brand buttery spread.
It’s got a bit o the Irish in it
Ireland gets a ton of rain, and all of our cattle is grass fed. Turns out, cows that eat organic grass from rainy parts of the world make great milk and butter.
I'm from Ireland and our milk, butter, cream and even yogurt is fantastic.
I'm 26 but will literally have bread and butter with a glass of milk as a bed time snack.
There are some iffy brands locally, but Kerrygold is god tier.
I've been toying with the idea of going full vegan now that there are good plant based alternatives. But I will always miss Irish dairy.
Irish are so much better than American. Word.
Irish butter is a generic category. Kerrygold is an irish butter name brand
Wait until you try french butter.
