What the Heck is International Butter?

Standard

Last week Gwen Thirlwall from the Carleton Place Farmer’s Market handed me some Foodland Ontario pamphlets.  One had a recipe for Grilled Corn with International Butters. So what kind of butter is that? It sounded “rightly delish” to serve with our local Lanark corn. The last time I heard the words International Butter was in the movie Bride Wars.

So what was this strange recipe that used Intentional Butter I asked myself.
