butter boards, yea or nay?

So gross.

I eat way more butter than I’d like to admit - bread and butter is probably my favorite thing ever. But making butter into a appetizer like this is just gross. What, do you all sit their dipping your knives into the butter?

I can sort of see the appeal of serving a compound butter on a small plate with the herbs on top. But the point of a compound butter is to flavor the butter by mixing in the additions, so that also seems a bit besides the point?

I think they look great! It's just a blip but I would try it if I weren't trying to lose weight.

The grossest part is that no, they're not using knives, they're saying people should just dip their bread in and scoop it up. So gross.

I mean, as long as you’re not double-dipping, I don’t really see what’s gross about it. Messy, yes. That said, I am not a fan of this trend.

Would that seem gross to you pre-COVID? Because that's how people eat dip. Not that unusual.

The mechanics/cleanliness doesn’t sound so different than chips and dip or salsa.

Also, while it looks pretty once people start smearing and sipping it’s going to look pretty gross

Isn’t that all good? Remnants are never pretty.

And I thought charcuterie boards were gross. All those fingers in the mix. Yuk.

DP, but it’s the smearing that really grosses me out with these. Most people don’t smear dip around and many put some on a plate separately and dip from there. These are just… so gross.

Agree. Over them. I don’t really liked cured meats either. I don’t get the appeal at all
