Dear Logan....thank you. Butter (not sweet Butterboy) is put on the plate with the butter knife....each bite of bread is then buttered from the butter put on your bread plate ...with your OWN knife...not the common butter knife....(Now I understand how Miss Manners gets so exhausted!)
It was pretty obvious that you would know being civilised and all.

The dreaded butter knife. It's just so complicated for some people. Get around it by giving everone a butter knife on their sideplate.
