Heck, you can get pats of real butter at Waffle House without even
asking. My SO always orders a waffle when we go there. They bring a
little dish with pats of foil wrapped butter. And yes, it's real
butter... and it's not rock hard from the fridge, either! I think if he
wanted margarine he'd have to specifically ask for it.
