| I don't know.. but if you've ever been to Craftworks in Itaewon- right on their menu they say "burgers made from 100% grain-fed australian cows" so I've sort of thought most meat here is probably similar. That being said Australia does have a reputation for providing a large amount of grass-fed meat to markets. |

| You can find organic ghee at iHerb. Not sure if it's the same thing as the one you mentioned but I quite like it. |

| PM Harpeau. He just found some area that sells lots of that grass-fed meat. |

so wait the grass becomes the butter? or the animal becomes the butter? Your're sentence makes no sense.
I still think it wouldnt be called "grass fed" butter even if the grass becomes the butter. I think you have to feed the grass to the butter in order to call it that but that sounds really bad. I had grass milk once and it was not good. |

Do you split hairs like this for things like free range eggs too? It's not the eggs walking around out of cages! 
How animals are treated and what they eat affects how they taste, also it affects things like their milk, eggs, and other stuff that comes from that animal. I think anyone would agree on that, right? Well, butter is made from milk. Do you think the quality and taste of the milk make no difference to the quality and taste of the butter? Just like I would prefer to buy milk from animals who get to eat grass and walk around freely, I'd like to buy butter made from that milk. Plus, I don't know if it makes a difference in taste, though I'd bet yes, but that French butter tastes amazing.
Sure, grass fed butter sounds like a weird term. But you understand what's meant by it, and that's enough. Butter from grass-fed cows is longer, but if you need the clarification, that's what's meant.
tl/dr: Cow eats grass. Cow that ate grass gives milk. Milk from cow that ate grass is churned into butter. Voila! Grass-fed butter. I hope it's clear now. |

Ah that clears things up a bit, I guess I forgot that butter comes from cows. The cows are eating the grass. |

The cows are also eating cow poop, but that part gets cut from the marketing materials.
There is grass-fed ghee at the Foreign Mart. Got some yesterday. It cooks differently than butter, pretty cool. Tastes slightly funky solo, but good for cooking. |

e-Mart always had Alaskan salmon. Extremely expensive IMO, ~30.000KRW/kg (~13.500KRW/lb), but their other salmon (I can't tell which one it is, but the taste is certainly much more dry) is ~20.000KRW/kg.
That's the fresh one, there are lots of wild smoked salmons, most of which are cheaper.
If anyone walks into Costco soon, please share the prices of any wild salmon there (preferably fresh).
OT (sorry): Is it just me or are there virtually no fresh chicken breasts at e-Mart? There is whole chicken, drumsticks, wings, but no CB. |

I third the Beurre d'Isigny!
Picked some up at High Street Market in Itaewon, this is some serious butter. Beats Anchor in my opinion, which they also carry. And destroys the Korean butters I've found. |
