Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Was it still rock hard? When it was wrapped, if needed, you could hold it in your hand to thaw it a bit. No can do with the straight up butter pat. :D Edit: I never liked unwrapping the tin foil butter. Edited February 15, 2015 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shippmates Posted February 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We were on a cruise and sitting at dinner with another couple we did not know and after the first night we never used the butter if she was at the table. She would take her roll and dip it in the butter after every bite. In all the cruises we have done this was the first for this and the worst table mates we every had. There is nothing wrong with the wrapped butter pats in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing I didn't fish the lime out of your drink in the RTB. I could only imagine your reaction. If I remember correctly you and Courtney will soon be boarding Quantum. Have an amazing time. We are counting the days till Allure in March and with how cold it is it can come soon enough. Edited February 15, 2015 by A&L_Ont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squadron Posted February 15, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2015 And this is why we have foil wrapped butter and I agree nothing wrong with it I agree - so many people are so concerned about germs that I feel that wrapped in factory would be more sanitary than someone making butter curls.

Have fun on the Allure, and give Lisa my best. Edited February 15, 2015 by Yorkvillain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhill Posted February 15, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That's real pretty...but how long till "Bubba" from the farm reaches in with his fingers & fishes out a few of them bad boys...just sayin...:eek: WOW that's not very nice kind of judgmental maybe Bubba from the farm is a really nice educated person:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancher Dave Posted February 15, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2015 That's real pretty...but how long till "Bubba" from the farm reaches in with his fingers & fishes out a few of them bad boys...just sayin...:eek: I don't live full time at my ranch, but can honestly say most of the folks I know from out there have far better manners than many of the city folk whom I am surrounded by most of my week. Doubt any of my neighbors out there would stick their bare fingers on the butter...pop out their switchblade to pick it up maybe (JK)...they'd use their fork or knife to get a pat and put in on their plate. To the one who spent a week watching fellow table mates mash their bread in the communal butter...so sorry that someone messed up the meals for you. I agree with the advice to have head waiter change your table, or perhaps give her a private butter and everyone else a separate one to share. I personally tend to like a table for just my family. In a few weeks likely will be taking mom on a cruise and she always wants to sit at a table with many...which can be solved by going specialty dining every night.

woehwdy Posted February 15, 2015 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just because people live on a "farm" does not mean they are unsanitary, and are "Bubba's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 15, 2015 #19 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The foil wrapping can become contaminated, too...and when you touch it to unwrap your butter....well, there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willing292 Posted February 15, 2015 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2015 They used to put either a butter knife or a small pair of tongs to transfer the butter balls from the dish to your bread plate. I wish they still provided something for getting the foil packets out of the dish to your plate. More hygienic than just reaching into the common bowl!

RealNorwegianCruiser Posted February 15, 2015 #21 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) That's real pretty...but how long till "Bubba" from the farm reaches in with his fingers & fishes out a few of them bad boys...just sayin...:eek: What kind of attitude is this against persons working on a farm? Does this reflect your view upon farmers in general? No need to look down on hard working farmers. Be thankful for their work. Without them it would not be too much butter on that table.. (I am not a farmer myself, but I am so tried of seeing others talking farmers down) Edited February 15, 2015 by RealNorwegianCruiser praise of the farmer!

I'm from Oklahoma and I live in Alabama. I know a lot of bubba's and Bubbette's and I do not know a single one who would use their fingers to take butter out of a dish. Their pocket knife maybe but not their fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
