Here's another regional variation:  in the central part of NC, now more 
commonly called the REsearch Triangle Park area, BBQ places and fish 
resteraunts will bring BUTTER to the table with the basket o'huspuppies, and 
people dip the deep fried cornbread into the butter before eating.

Whew! You can hear your arteries protest!

I haven't seen this anywhere else, not at NC beaches, nor further west from 
here.
