The difference isn't even really noticeable in most dishes.
If you are doing something where butter is a main component you can use it to finish off your dish for some extra texture mostly. It's just more creamy out of the box.
For anything pan fried or where "tasting butter" is a component the vast majority of folks couldn't pass a blind taste test reliably at all.
Also, regular dark chocolate is garbage and more of this smugness. If you want 98% dark chocolate bitter shit, fine. But don't let smug redditors and lemmy lounge lizards bully you into liking sweet chocolate. Same with American beer, we have some of the worlds best. It's all gatekeeping smugness.
As a cooking ingredient, maybe, but if you're using butter on toast, bread, etc. then Irish/French/British butter is clearly better.
Also, the superiority of European chocolate isn't to do with the cocoa content or the sweetness - it's just creamier and has a smoother texture.
I'll agree with you on the beer, though.
The difference is subtle and not noticeable to most people. You'll do better in your testing and get better results switching to salted butter for things like toast. The difference just isn't that big.
