I grew up in western NY and all the stores there sold butter lambs at Easter time. A butter lamb is just what you might assume it is, a lamb made of butter. They always had red ribbons around their necks, and a red flag stuck in their rump that said Alleluia on it.

Since leaving that area, I've never seen a butter lamb for sale anywhere but it just doesn't seem like Easter without them, so I've started making my own. Here is this Easter's....

Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

Cut the head off that thing and spread it on your toast.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Yup, my parents would go to the Broadway market and get a couple butter lambs from the same little old Polish couple every year for Easter. We would make the trip about once a month for all sorts of groceries. Lots of different cold cuts and sausages, head cheese, blood tongue, knockwurst, liver wurst, bologna, all that good stuff. Boy I miss those days and all those little old Polish and German ladies selling all their wares. I grew up in Orchard Park back when it was farm country.

I thought everyone had them. Just got back from mom and Dads. Butter lamb was one of the things I brought for the Easter table. The box they come in is also iconic along with the red ribbon and flag. .
Yours looks great. Did you save the Alleluia flag from and old one?
They sell all sizes of them here. As Paul Heppner stated the Broadway market is the place to get all your Easter food Especially butter lambs, sausages and horseradish.
Periogi's are also a big seller every where in. WNY. Especially with Dingus day tomorrow
Tops markets are a big seller of the butter lambs here.
I'm glad you still enjoy a little bit of WNY since your move to MS.

Yes I still have family in WNY and I had my mom send me a few flags and ribbons years ago. I've since lost the ribbons but still have a couple flags. I'll have to hit my grandmother up tomorrow to send me her flags and ribbons from this year to replenish my stock. I just used Christmas ribbon this year.


Just give me one thing, that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin' is just a hard way to go.

Not really known here but I do remember grandma using a lamb cover for the butter dish at Easter maybe it's connected.
