what is that? commercial human product? Is that ethical in your country?

I think they did it to dunk on the patriarchy or something, but I imagine it wasn't radical lesbians but probably a line of a certain type of dudes lining up to buy it.




I got my hands on the western star gold butter, not bad. I think maybe the organic grass fed is the best though so far.

Not sure if I can justify buying the Pepe Saya hand churned organic cultured butter. Kinda expensive and not sure how they ship it. Its more expensive than imported butter.

I googled "porn butter" and it was a fucking mistake.

Can confirm.

I really hope all that butter was unsalted.

I am all that is man.

Western Star - Red: Great quality sets a high bar for standard quality. I think only the grass fed like Lurpak and Westgold are better but cost more. I thought Kerrygold was the same.

Western Star - Green: Tastes worse than it used to. Tastes like watery butter.

Western Star - Blue: I didn't bother as I think its worse than red for the same price.

Western Star - Gold: Fantastic quality for a bit more price, but rarely in stock and 20-50% more expensive than red.


The butter rankings from the butter wars seem fucked up:

1. Kerrygold Pure Unsalted (79%)
2. Lurpak reduced salt (76%)
3. Ballantyne cultured Unsalted (76%)
4. Westgold unsalted (75%)
5. Ballantyne cultured Salted (74%)
6. Coles Generic Salted (74%) (wtf this BS)
7. Allowrie Unsalted (73%)
8. Devondale Unsalted (73%)
9. Kerrygold salted (73%)
10. Lurpak Unsalted (73%)
11. Macro Organic Salted (73%)
12. Mainland Organic Salted (73%)
13. Great Ocean Road with sea salt (72%)
14. Organic Milk salted (72%)
15. True Organic Unsalted (72%)
16. Western Gold Original (red star) Salted (72%)
17. Aldi Beautifully Salted (Kerrgold rebadge)
18. Westgold salted (old version) (70%)
... 24 Western Star Unsalted (blue star) (64%)
... 28 Coles generic unsalted (63%)
... 31 Organic Lard (60%)
... 35 Pepe Saya Cultured salted (59%) (ranked lower than lard for a premium boutique butter)


This was supposedly from blind tasting, the judges seem to be salt haters. The Ballantyne cultured handmade unsalted is legit good, but I'd rank the Kerrygold, Lurpak and Westgold unsalted lower.

The generic brand Coles salted ranking must be a mistake, it should be down at 20. I was on one of the tasting panels a decade+ ago, so I think the latest rankings are BS. I did it for the Homer Simpson memes.

I'll have to get Kerrygold unsalted again to check it.

16. Western Gold Original (red star) Salted (72%)

This is some form of butter communism.

God just spoke to me.

If you're hearing voices you might not be eating enough butter.

I'd recommend Western Gold original.

They seem to really hate salted butter, but that butter tastes the most butter, so I think their experts actually hate butter. They are probably dirty margarine cultists.

The margarine cult killed so many people. The original study where they exchanged all healthy natural fats for highly oxidized processed unsaturated industrial fats showed death skyrocketed after seven years. They trimmed the data and claimed.. wow look it lowers cholesterol (and life expectancy).

If you're hearing voices you might not be eating enough butter.

I'd recommend Western Gold original.

Butter for the butter god.


edit: On a dairy related note.

Last time I went to Japan on a business trip, there was one time where they were like... we heard you like dairy so we got you a present. It was a platter of Japanese made cheese. Whilst I told them it was great, the cheese tasted like super generic American cheese. It cost a heap too. I suppose Japanese like their dairy super mild.

Apparently most Japanese cheese isn't very good.

Cheese in Japan is generally heated once, melted and hardened, and is usually sold in convenience stores because it can be stored for a long time. It has no flavour, is just salty and sour and not very tasty.

Also I read that a lot of people in Asian countries can't digest dairy products as well as westerners.

Prolly why Asian people live longer.

Except in Hokkaido.

Apparently there's a dairy boom happening there.

It did taste like it had been heated and melted like that. I was like "why is this cheese rubbery?"/

Also I read that a lot of people in Asian countries can't digest dairy products as well as westerners.

For a lot of Asians their lactose tolerance starts to decline after 20. Butter and cheese have less lactose though.

Prolly why Asian people live longer.

Australia has caught up to Japan and South Korea. It only cost a trillion dollars and a pandemic.

Except in Hokkaido.

I heard that they have good cows there.

Also I read that a lot of people in Asian countries can't digest dairy products as well as westerners.

Personally I think it's bullshit numbers. I have never seen any of my friends or family members struggling when they chug liters of milk.
