What is a bread and butter plate?
1 Answer
Bread and butter are separated from the sauce, gravy, and fluids from other items on the dish using the bread-and-butter plate. When a plate isn't available, a slice of bread or a roll is placed on the tablecloth or the rim of the dinner plate, which also holds the butter.
