[Sca-cooks] honey butter

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

Years ago I got the idea that though people had actually eaten butter and  
of course used it in cooking, spreading it on bread came fairly late. Then I 
 found a fourteenth century list of expenses for a traveling monk and one 
item  was bread with butter spread on it.
 
Unfortunately, I misplaced the reference. I'm reasonably sure it's in my  
archived PDF's, but simply have not been able to find it again.

Also,  one reason we expect bread and a spread to be on the table is 
because when we  go to restaurants, those items are on our table so we can nosh 
while waiting  for our food.  With period feasts, you sit down and the food is 
served,  so there's no waiting  period.
