An Ontario  supermarket chain has converted a chocolate fountain into a butter fountain for a Father’s Day treat?

Is there popcorn?

No, but there's lobster. I think that'd work for most people. :P

Dude...get me a ladle!

How about dunking roasted asparagus spears?

Or some hot corn on the cob rolled under the butter flow?

Or dipping baked potato bites in the butter and then rolling them in diced bits of bacon?

Talk about gilding the lily! :B xD

well if it was just plain butter, no  cream or sea food stock, it'd be handy for corn on the cob. For asparagus I'd prefer a hollandaise fountain.

Not just butter in the fountain, but cream and seafood stock too!

 

Nasty.

 

Just give me the lobsters.  Keep your butter-monstrosity!

 

 

LOL But what is a lobster except a vehicle for butter?
