Consider a slice of chilled butter with a mouthful of fresh crusty bread… now add herbs, interesting spices and a chilli kick; a combination that is always delicious, and picques the curiosity to try out all of the butter options on the board.
It’s the ideal setting for excellent conversations, around a classic snack, probably enjoyed for thousands of years – bread and butter is rightly at the top of the best picnic foods, yet also surprisingly popular when eaten by a fireside, on a journey, by young and old…the list goes on.
Carbohydrates like these are ideal to accompany drinks, and can be the substantial base for a meal when served with a selection of meats and cheeses, or a side dish or optional extra to bulk out a dinner that needs to go further – the scariest moment for a hostess is when the first course vanishes very fast and effectively! No need for FHB (family holds back) when you provide this conversation starter in the form of a colourful butter board supplied with an assortment of dainty nibbles or squidgy tear n share bread to convey each option!
The flavoured butters can be frozen ahead of time, making preparation convenient, and look
pretty when used with assorted small serving knives – keep the butter board out of the sun and not too near the fireside though!
