Subject: RE: Cookery question From: maeve Date: 27 Oct 07 - 04:25 PM Now of course, I want to know what's cooking, Giok. Shortbread? Hot buttered rum? What is it and how many butter knobs are called for? maeve |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: Liz the Squeak Date: 27 Oct 07 - 04:52 PM Couple of tablespoons??! Either I've been deprived all my life or been given short shrift somewhere but I was under the impression that a knob of butter was how much it took to butter two slices of bread, or about a teaspoon full. Would having a ring of steel give you a knob of butter? LTS |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: Richard Bridge Date: 27 Oct 07 - 06:49 PM I'd have expected it to be between half an ounce and one ounce, but I don't really cook. As to the serious question, no , you need to watch "Last Tango" again. A ring of steel doesn't give you a knob of butter, it's why you need one. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: bobad Date: 27 Oct 07 - 06:51 PM I have often seen it called for, in old recipes, a chunk of butter the size of a walnut, which I figured was about equivalent to a knob. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: gnu Date: 27 Oct 07 - 08:32 PM Now, in Canuckville, that is a TOTALLY different question. (Actually, questionSSS!) Shane, ya knob, explain it to the man, eh. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: John O'L Date: 27 Oct 07 - 09:50 PM "Have you got a knob of butter?" Isn't that a cockery question? |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: Rapparee Date: 27 Oct 07 - 09:53 PM I did, but it melted in the heat. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: TheSnail Date: 27 Oct 07 - 10:20 PM Is a knob of butter the same as a butternut? |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: GUEST,Sad and lonely Date: 28 Oct 07 - 04:35 AM I've got a knob of butter. Perhaps that's why the wife left. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: Michael Date: 28 Oct 07 - 12:35 PM So size isn't important bobad? Mike |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Oct 07 - 12:48 PM Well she married you for butter or for worse mate! G |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: greg stephens Date: 28 Oct 07 - 12:52 PM Well a link above suggests a knob is a couple of tablespoonfuls. Now, that is a very big knob in cookery terms. I would definitely say big walnut, or maybe two small walnuts, is about a knob. Of course, it all depends what you are going to do with it. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: John MacKenzie Date: 28 Oct 07 - 02:11 PM She obviously couldn't tell stalk from butter mate! G |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 28 Oct 07 - 03:28 PM I have often used a knob of butter, but unwittingly. What you call a knob over the pond is referred to here in America as a dollop. |

Subject: RE: Cookery question From: Liz the Squeak Date: 29 Oct 07 - 03:36 AM So I'm measuring out some butter for cooking, I haven't got a walnut, will a pair of cob nuts do instead? LTS |
