Solved! Cats found this, maybe in the kitchen? (butter for scale)
I think the kitties found this in the kitchen (the naughtiest of boys can open drawers), no idea what it is .. spouse also has no idea. it's rubbery, slightly flexible
smol update: no one in the house smokes ... does seem like it'd be something that would slide onto something else, not threaded inside.

That’s a good quality butter, btw. Well done.

Next time a banana has to be in there somewhere though. Isn't that an internet rule or something?

Kerrygold is probably the only actual butter I the butter isle in any UK supermarket. Well done for eating well.

I agree that it’s a decent butter. But what do you mean by this? What are the other butters? And I don’t mean the spreadable ones or the other spread concoctions, I mean the actual butters, sold in blocks, made with only milk and optionally, salt?
Edit: Genuine question. Thanks for the downvotes…

I think it's all about the butter butterfat content % .. US butters tend to have a much lower % (which is why most aren't even yellow, more an off white) - Pretty sure I heard that European butters are regulated as to how much butterfat they must have. I think it's also about the culturing process (none for US, Yes for European) - from the internets ...
- American Butter: Standard American butter contains about 80% butterfat, with the remaining 20% composed of water and milk solids. While this butter is functional for everyday use, its lower fat content can result in a less creamy texture and more moisture, which may affect baking results.
- European Butter: European butter boasts a higher fat content — typically 82-86%. This high butterfat butter makes it richer, silkier, and more luxurious, with less water and more concentrated flavor.
- American Butter: Most American butter is sweet cream butter made from pasteurized cream without additional fermentation. This results in a mild, creamy flavor that’s perfect for general use but lacks the depth of cultured butter.
- European Butter: European butter undergoes a culturing process where beneficial bacteria are added to the cream, allowing it to ferment before churning. This process creates complex, tangy flavors and subtle nutty undertones, giving the butter its signature character.

While this maybe be interesting information – as they don’t sell butter from the US in UK supermarkets, it’s got nothing to do with my question, which was why this guy thinks that Kerrygold is the only proper butter in UK supermarkets? (It isn’t)

u/RojoandWhite 11h ago
I just said it was a good butter.
If I’m cooking something higher-end, that requires more finesse, this is what I turn to. For everyday baking, buttering toast etc, I couldn’t care less what I use.

Not with the holes on the bottom, but maybe a cigar vape? I know those were a thing for a moment

u/Cacafuego 12h ago
Funny, my mind went to "fake cigar that you put your money/weed in" because of the color. Why would they make a cigar tube that looks like a cigar? Definitely what it is, though.

Yes. And he may also have a substance abuse problem if he's leaving it lying around all willy nilly.

Maybe the handle to a utensil, like a whisk or something?

u/purdeous 12h ago
It’s a handle for something, hot temps cleaning it could dislodge the tool easily, add a curious cat and you’ve got a recipe for chaos

It looks like the silicone cover for the handle of some kitchen utensil. Is anything suddenly missing the handle/cover?

It a car antenna cover. It’s not actually the antenna itself, but just the rubber cover for it
