Well yes, we've discussed butter and honey butter here before. But
no one has been able to give evidence for honey butter being used
on bread as a spread. As a medicinal item, yes. But not as a spread.
We do have multiple referances to other flavored butters though.

For more info, see this file:

I would however, love to see this additional info on butter, whether it
is definative on the honey butter subject or not. As an article that
I could add to the Florilegium, or even just a long message would be
nice.
