Kerrygold is great for strong savory foods, but I am too American to enjoy itin some cases. Frying eggs, grilled cheese, some cookies all suffer from the grassy taste overriding weaker flavors. American butter doesn't really taste like anything but cream/fat to me.

Whenever I hear takes like these I wonder how many people I've disgusted with my cooking. I have _literally no idea_ what you're talking about, much like it was a shock the first time someone said cilantro tasted like soap.
Really makes you respect people who manage to make everyone happy through cooking for a living!

It isn’t disgusting but just noticeably grassy to me. Try melting some in a pan vs cheap American butter it smells almost like tallow to me.

People have totally different perceptions of taste sometime. I don't think most people get really disgusted. If you have cliantro soap taste genes you know about it and are clear to people about your ability to accept cilantro.
Many other things are just what you're used to. I spent a while trying chicken fried steak recipes with different oils and found out I liked sunflower oil the best, in terms of flavor. Many people can't stand it. It's just what you like.
