Butter #325712 10/27/2024 05:50 PM Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 245 Ontario, Canada C CanadianCutie OP Traveler OP CanadianCutie Traveler C Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 245 Ontario, Canada I have a question if anyone has ever seen or purchased Bordier butter on the French side at all? Are there similar gourmet butters available on the French side of St Maarten? Last edited by CanadianCutie; 10/27/2024 05:50 PM.

That's all we eat at home here.
