Kerrygold butter of course
Did You Know? - Kerrygold is one of the best known brands of Irish butter – perhaps one of the best known Irish brands period if you're into cooking and baking. Irish butter is a European-style butter and has a higher butterfat content than the average American butter. This translates into a richer, creamier texture for the butter. Kerrygold's is a little different from other European butters because it has a lot more flavor. It has a tangy note that might remind you of cheese or buttermilk, and as unusual as that might sound at first, it is that little extra bit of savoriness that makes this butter a real standout. That extra flavor is said to be the result of the rich, grass-heavy diet that the cows have in Ireland.
We eat and swap stories during dinner
"Great fun, what say?"
Not animated a bit!
Here comes the belly laughs
We finished dinner with mint chocolate covered with creme de mint!
