The letter is written by a fervent butter fanatic to his wife, detailing his adventures around the world in search of the strange and wonderful ways butter has been used. In his travels, he encounters unique butter experiences in various countries, such as smen in Marrakech, intricate butter sculptures in Tibet, bog butter in Ireland, Ayurvedic ghee massages in India, butter towers in France, and a butter ribbon game called Ghee whiz in Sweden. The letter conveys the excitement and fascination of the author as he discovers the diverse practices and beliefs surrounding butter.
My Dearest Buttercup,
As I sit down to pen this letter to you, my heart is filled with both joy and longing. Joy, for the incredible journey I have embarked upon, and longing for your warm embrace, my sweet love. As you know, my devotion to butter has driven me to scour the globe in search of the strangest and most wonderful ways this delightful dairy product has been used. I must share with you the astounding discoveries I have made during my travels, and the peculiar practices and beliefs surrounding butter that I have encountered.
In the vibrant markets of Marrakech, I was introduced to "smen," an aged, fermented butter with a pungent aroma. The locals cherish it as a delicacy and believe it enhances the flavours of their traditional dishes. I admit, my dear, I was initially taken aback by the scent, but it added a remarkable depth to the tagine I savoured.
As I ventured to the mystical land of Tibet, I found that butter holds great spiritual significance. Monks and artisans craft intricate butter sculptures, or "torma," which serve as offerings during religious ceremonies. I was left in awe at the sheer beauty and detail of their work. How they mould butter into such magnificent forms is a testament to their dedication and skill.
Upon my arrival in Ireland, I was warmly welcomed with a slab of freshly churned, golden butter atop a slice of soda bread. It was there that I learned of the ancient practice of burying butter in peat bogs for preservation. As peculiar as it may sound, my dear, I couldn't resist the temptation to taste this "bog butter." Its earthy, tangy flavour was unlike any butter I have experienced before.
My journey led me to India, where I delved into the world of Ayurveda, an ancient holistic healing system. To my astonishment, I discovered that ghee, a form of clarified butter, plays a vital role in various treatments. I was treated to a rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage using warm ghee, and I must say, the experience was profoundly soothing. I can only imagine how much you, my love, would appreciate the nourishing touch of this golden elixir on your delicate skin.
My travels then took me to the heart of France, where I uncovered a peculiar piece of history. In medieval times, when the consumption of butter was forbidden during Lent, people would pay for indulgences, allowing them to partake in this simple pleasure. The funds collected from these indulgences were used to construct "butter towers" as an architectural element in certain cathedrals. The thought of our beloved butter being at the centre of such grandeur filled my heart with pride.
Lastly, my love, I found myself in Sweden, where I happened upon a unique tradition known as "ghee whiz." During festive occasions, participants engage in a lively game where they race to create the longest ribbon of butter using specialized butter curlers. It was a delightful sight, and I couldn't help but think of the joy it would bring to our children.
My sweet Buttercup, I hope that my tales of butter-laden adventures have brought a smile to your face, just as the thought of you never fails to bring one to mine. I eagerly await the day when I can return to your loving arms, share the flavours and stories of my travels, and continue our shared appreciation for the wonders of butter.
Yours forever,
Benjamin Butterworth
