Where I live, they don't do this. They are all refrigerated and brought out to your table if you want them. Even the ones they put in the baskets of bread are hard and refrigerated when you get them.
Maybe those of you who leave the butter out are used to the taste of butter when it is "spoiled". That's the only thing I can think of. I surely can taste the difference, right away. I can tell if it is butter that has been left out, or butter that came out of the fridge..and I literally will get sick.
I can't even explain the taste, but I know it right away, I can even actually smell it as I am about to injest it (like on toast, etc)
