Quotation from: Manners, Custom and Dress During the Middle Ages and During the Renaissance Period

Written by: Paul Lacroix


The consumption of butter was greatest in Flanders. "I am surprised," says
Bruyerin Champier, speaking of that country, "that they have not yet tried
to turn it into drink; in France it is mockingly called _beurriere;_ and
when any one has to travel in that country, he is advised to take a knife
with him if he wishes to taste the good rolls of butter."
