Flavored butters are OOP SFAIK. 

Locally, THL Thorstein and myself have taken to leaving butter out of the 
feast entirely as a spread. The first time I did it 2 people asked where the 
butter was and I explained that the bread was meant to be eaten as is or to 
be used as a sop. No problem. The last time there was no inquries. THL 
Thorstein at Will's left out butter but the ppor misguided soul who had put 
herself in charge of serving High Table  came back and insisted on a stick of 
butter for the King. Both I and the Kitchen Steward  explained that none was 
on the menu.  She insisted that He had to have butter. Inquiry showed that he 
had not asked for it. I then firmly explained that we do not serve special 
food to high table and she snatched a stick of butter and ran from the 
kitchen with it anyway. I guess it takes all types to make the world go 
round. ;-)
