Forget charcuterie, the latest food trend taking over is the butter board… and it seems way fancier than just arranging some tubs of Meadow Lea, Lurpak and Nuttelex on a chopping board.
The concept went fricken off soon after TikTok creator Justine Doiron (@justine_snacks) posted a clip of a basic butter board which has now attracted more than 8 million views in just a week.
She splays swirls of softened butter on a board, topping it with salt, lemon zest, red onion, herbs and edible flowers, serving it with fresh-cut warm bread.
