Roasted Butter. on a spit. before a fire!

Years ago I was intrigued by roasting butter on a spit. An Irish woman in Ellis's 1750 book made it many times over Christmas "to accommodate a Friend with a Slice or two, as we do Cakes or minced Pies here." Hannah Glasse had it roast over oysters, then when done "lay it on your oysters." After some recipes is a descripton of wooden spits, Ivan Day's attempt to roast butter (which convinced me not to try it), and upcoming zoom talks: Fun foods (CHoW), Spam, Expat Cookbooks, Ceramic ice pails and ice cream by Ivan Day, Dinner with Dumas (Three Musketeers), Why bees change their minds, and more.
