Abstract
Apparatus for selectably buttering and salting an article of food such as an ear of corn or the like. A separate butter receptacle and salt receptacle are pivotably interconnected with each other so that the salt receptacle can fit into an opening of the butter receptacle, thereby urging a chunk of butter through a dispensing opening to be spread onto the corn. After the corn is buttered, the buttering and dispensing apparatus may be inverted in position to salt the corn.
