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?

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.

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

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.

I don't like these but I don't see how they're really gross. You take a small piece of bread, you dip it into the butter (your fingers don't touch the butter) you eat it. Repeat. Your hands shouldn't be touching the contents, just the piece of bread. Like with Ethiopian food. Agreed double dipping would be nasty but I don't know any adults who do that.

I don’t get this. Why can’t the boards be cleaned?

How is it different than the grease from meat?

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

Actually it sounds much grosser to squish around butter

Professionally, I cut meat and oily things on high density plastic. But at home, oils would not be soaked up in well treated wood. Treated with a food safe oil and salt. In the TikTok pictures, the boards look parched.

Now, I could totally get behind a buttercream frosting board. But not to share.

Absolutely disgusting. Plus, they feature my least favorite word, "smear."
