  Switching camera angles between shots is very confusing. I often had no idea which butter they were talking about or pointing at. Maybe its just me -- but...

  Walmart vs Kerrygold was a ridiculous apples to oranges matchup. I want to see you do ALDI’s Irish butter vs Kerrygold, and generic butter vs Land O Lakes.

  There is nothing better than French butter.  I have loved Trader Joe's for a while.  It's made in Brittany, France.  But when I found Beurre D'Isigny AOP at Whole Foods, OMG, I cannot stop eating it!  It has wonderful salt crystals in it.  It is made in the Normany region, specifically Isigny Ste-Mere.  I have also heard that Lurpak from Denmark is excellent.  But, I want my French butter!  Nothing compares.

  I read you every day, and had no idea you have a YouTube channel. This is wonderful. :washhands:

  The Kirkland butter is the one I buy, but I don’t love it. Now I know why!!! I never would have guessed there was flavoring added. 😮

  Just found out. When I’m rich, I’ll try other butters. But like, probably be excited and underwhelmed (due to price) at the same time.

  I would love to see this run again but with a couple of randos off the street that don't have educated palettes - and do it blind so they can't see which one looks better

  Look at all the bread you guys didn't even try the butter on. Some of those butters might be a whole different experience when spread onto bread.

  The Kirkland Signature unsalted butter does have extra flavoring because there's no salt. However, its salted sweet cream butter is just cream and salt. I have both forms on hand. It really depends on what you're making.

  Former cheesemonger here! Having done an extensive butter tasting at my last job, the Rudolph Meunier butter was far and away the best I've ever had. So spendy, but worth every cent if you're planning on having a picnic with good bread and fresh strawberries (or radishes or tomatoes, or all three). Or try a little square of dark chocolate-- heaven!!

  I use Trader Joe's ghee to make grilled cheese sandwiches, and it's fantastic -- you can spread it to the edges of the bread, and the sandwiches grill beautifully.

  I was so sure I'd seen this female host in another cooking channel, it took me a while to recall in which I watched her. It was the cooking series with her and Kenji Lopez by serious eats. Nice to find her cooking show again.
