The only real difference in taste between butter would be between regular butter made from pasteurized cream and cultured butter made from cultured cream. cultured butter has a slightly better flavor, but even then the difference is subtle and not very noticeable unless if you're eating it by itself and focusing on it as you eat it.

You are dead wrong. Grass fed butter has a higher ratio of omega 3 fats and standard corn fed has higher omega 6. Grass fed is healthier for the person eating the cow products and the cows. Corn fed cows have gut fermentation problems which over populate ecoli and causes outbreaks in factory farms and it makes their shit stink really bad. Grass fed is the way to go for health and ethics.

This is the most made up shit I’ve ever heard in my life. Read the ingredient label retard. Nothing with palm oil in it can legally be called butter. Believe it or not USA has strict labelling laws, particular with anything dairy related.
Also not being spreadable at room temperature is normal. In fact butter that’s harder to spread at room temperature just has a higher saturated fat content and more stearic acid, both of which are signs of higher quality butter.

For most uses of butter, the store brand will do just fine. Kerrygold is noticeably but marginally above it in flavor, but most cooking with butter destroys the subtle differences.

Also I am aware there are much better Irish butters, but this is the one we can easily get here. It's obviously of superior quality, but for what you generally use butter for, this is money wasted.

Where it's really necessary is for things like making shortbread or biscuits where cutting the butter into the dough cold, rather than melting it and mixing it, is absolutely necessary to the final texture. American butter doesn't do this for shit.

That could be true, along with conditions overall making for healthier and happier animals which generally means higher quality products.

>I wonder if euro fruits and veggies taste less rank and sour
I think that mainly depends on the varieties and when they're picked. Lots of fruit and vegetable varieties in the USA are chosen for how well they handle shipping and sitting on store shelves, rather than flavor and nutrition. Also lots of fruit is picked too early before it's had a chance to properly ripen which means it won't have as much flavor. That's why there was some interest in "vertical farms" because it would mean shipping isn't as much of a concern and you could have freshly picked and fully ripe produce available in more places.
