Dairy is better in Ireland, no question. Well cheese and butter are anyway, Milk - blee - never drink the stuff.
But Americans have malts and butter princesses, so they might just have the last laugh.
I’d concur on the cheese and butter, Sam but I have more to say on the milk so I’ll save it. You might even say I’m milking it.
As for the malts and butter princesses - laughing is over-rated.
