I agree that there are recipes that are LATE period that call for butter and
even very RARELY a mid-period recipe lists "boter" as an ingredient. However,
butter was not NORMALLY consumed. It was considered medicinal (to cover
wounds, salve base, etc.) until rather recent times. Whish IMHO puts it in
the same category as potatos, tomatos and other late period dietary
introductions.
