I have done but there should be no issue with me or indeed anyone calling out this sort of behavior on thread. A wider audience must see that it's not tolerated or accepted by all. Happy to leave it there now and to move on.

The quote you found questionable is from a Kerrygold ad

It was a joke about an old Kerry gold add, where a French fella used that line. It wasn’t racist at all.

Shock horror, but what was acceptable back then doesn't meant it was't racist. It just means we accepted it. But not anymore. We cannot continue to endorse and endure racist stereotypes, it doesn't matter that the poster was rehashing a quote from another media. It's still wrong.

Are you for real? It wasn’t racist then, when a French lad said it. It isn’t racist now when used as a reference.

What stereotyping was done? Malaysians are clueless about butter?

Brian?

Here’s he ad in question:

How they stereotype French people as always wanting to help with dinner!!!!

I think you need to check your maths

€3.50 kerrygold
€2.09 tesco

About 35% cheaper.

For it to be 1/4 the price it would have to be 88c


Kerrygold butter only uses milk from dairy farms in certain areas whereas other irish butter will use milk from the entire island.

So for the person who has good taste buds, they will find a substantial difference.

I didn’t realise Kerry cows produced superior milk than Offaly cows. My apologies.

Yikesoc - you have said your piece - now you are dragging this thread WAY off topic. That's the end of it now or you will be thread-banned.

Do not respond to this on thread.

Copying someone's accent is racist now??? I guess all those impressionist comedians are screwed so! Bonkers.

All salted butter has the same ingredients as Kerrygold.

The Tesco and Dunnes own brand stuff is very nice but it's a bit saltier and not as creamy.

Actually the Tesco own brand butter is made in Cavan, & it is the only butter with less salt then the others made in the same creamery

Brennan's wholegrain bread toasted, kerrygold butter, raspberry jam, god damn delicious.

My aunt used to give us toast with kerrygold when I was young, couldn't understand how her toast was way nicer than any other toast I ever tasted, we used kerrymaid or that kind at home.

When we were kids - we ate what was put before us - with virtually no sweets or other snacks. There was homemade bread and butter though. To this day butter is still my favourite food. Can't stand those oily crap highly processed spreads or the stuff masquerading as butter in the uk and elsewhere. I would like to be embalmed in butter when I kick the bucket ...

We make the best butter in the world but Nutella instead of butter is the wise mans choice

Love the Brittany sea salt butter but high blood pressure restricts my intake unfortunately.

Yum, I love butter. Slathered on to a chip butty, don't even spread it. Let it melt into the chips.

Kerrygold and Irish butter generally is fantastic, but to be fair to our French cousins they make a decent butter or two too!

Unfortunately, a lot of other butters seem to taste closer to Vaseline than butter.

£1.90 over here for the small block. I had to travel to Morrisons today to grab some as my tesco stopped selling it.

French butter is meant to be decent too.

Wow, you must be fun at parties.

There is some very good irish ghee available now too. Game changer for curries.

It's not racist and I will be long dead and cold in my grave before you or anyone else convince me otherwise.

I give you Lurpak, Danish butter which can rival any Irish butter, especially when spread over Scottish Pride toast.

LOVE Irish butter. My mother used tell me I ate too much of it.

We spent a lot of time as kids on the continent due to my folk's work and I remember turning my nose up at the unsalted butter on offer. I would actually eat it now but nothing beats Kerrygold!

You'd expect so seeing as they're fond of the butter cookies.

Is there such a thing as goat butter?

I think it's something all goats do...

Probably.

Even if all the dairy cattle on the planet expired tomorrow, no way would I want butter made from goat milk.

I’d rather just give up toast and spuds.

Irish butter is class.

I do love the Normandy/Brittany butter with the salt crystals in it. Lash it on to a fresh baguette (when on the annual holiday to France)

Bandon butter is the best IMO.

Where can I get Irish ghee? My Rogan Josh would appreciate it I think.

This is the one i used.

Given by a friend, I'll find out where she got it.

EDIT: Holland and Barret.

Makes great fried potatoes too.
