[Sca-cooks] Honey butter was lunch ideas- feedback

[Johnna Holloway]

In the Midwest in that same time period restaurants such as Nickerson 
Farms were known also for serving honey butter along with fresh made bread.
The question would be did it appear in the West prior to appearing in 
feasts in say the Middle in 1969-1970.

Mentions still turn up on blogs

I must admit, I'm only through reading page nine in this post, but I was 
wondering if any of the Nickerson Farms restaurants are still in 
business. Whenever we would go out West to see my uncle, we would have 
to stop at every one we drove by. I rememeber the bee hives and the 
wonderful fresh bread and honey butter. I can't remember any of the 
other food, but man was that bread good! Alice

I know that we used to stop and eat at one on our way to and from events 
in St. Louis to our home base
in Champaign-Urbana.

Since it entered SCA feasting early on, the two coincide, and i wonder if MC's honey-butter "spread" into the SCA back then.
