    How someone thinks of America and not France when thinking of butter is beyond me. I just assume they’re unfamiliar with their respective culinary achievments.

        I think anywhere we still use butter is still great. It’s where we replaced it with the “various hydrogenated oils of mysterious origin” that we lost our way. Once we could no longer believe it wasn’t butter, we lost the plot.
