Butter

Objects · Nature

Churned milk fat for table and cookery. Not alchemical “butter of” metal salts, and not cheese as curd food.

  • Butter is historically related to Milk.

    Beeton’s household management seats butter among dairy made by churning milk and cream. A named butter beside milk, not alchemical butter-of-antimony speech.

    from Isabella Beeton · Book of Household Management, 1861
