Every Saturday at the Naschmarkt there is a large flea market set up adjacent to the open air market, where you can find anything from an old chandelier to a sweater to a clam shell shaped butter dish. Yes, a clam shell shaped butter dish, much like the one I purchased on that fine overcast Saturday. It was truly love at first sight. I spotted that shiny silver clam from across the market, as I made my way towards the vendor's table, I knew it was meant to be. I asked him how much, he told me 12, I told him no way. I am cheap even with love. The vendor asked me, what would you use this for, I told him I had no clue! Just then, a lovely Austria lady overheard our conversation and explained it was indeed the butter dish of my dreams! I offered him 6, he say 10, we settled at 8.
Yes, I spent 8 Euro on a clam shell shaped butter dish. No, I do not use it for butter. Mike, don't hate me.
