THE VIEW fans have mocked Whoopi Goldberg for “not understanding” a Tiktok trend about butter during a cooking segment.
The host tried to demonstrate what she thought everyone meant, but took it in the literal sense.

During Tuesday’s show, Queer Eye‘s Antoni Porowski appeared for a cooking segment.
He talked about his new show, Easy-Bake Battle, where contestants cook food in an Easy Bake Oven.
Antoni also brought food for the hosts to taste, but Whoopi was the most interested in the butter board.
A butter board is like a charcuterie board, but instead of cheese, it’s butter.
Butter is spread on a board with toppings, such as bacon, dates, onions, etc. and then bread or crackers is put around it for people to dip into it.
However, the host didn’t understand that and she thought people were just eating butter off of a board.
After the women discussed the Hot Topics, they got to taste a bit of the butter board and Whoopi did not try it at all.
Only Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin tried the dish while the others sat back.

Whoopi, however, expressed her opinion as she sat and talked to the audience.
“You know for people who talk about how much they weigh, and their weight, and they’re putting on weight, and they’re eating butter. Ok. Just let me shut up,” she said.
Alyssa Farah Griffin eventually got up and tried the dish while Ana Navarro went on a rant about how “unhealthy and unhygienic” it is.
Whoopi sat there in silence as they all ate.
When Sunny suggested that it needed salt and prosciutto, she spoke up and said: “No, you don’t put prosciutto on a butter board. What the-?”
She ended the segment by saying that she didn’t want to hear anymore about how much people weigh and what they should be eating.
A MISUNDERSTANDING
Later on in the show, Antoni appeared and the topic of butter boards came up again.
Whoopi explained what she thought it was and continued her rant while she sat with Sara and Alyssa.
While talking about his show, Antoni brought up Tiktok hacks for the sake of talking about Easy-Bake ovens, but he also mentioned the butter boards and Whoopi gave a disappointed looked.
Sara asked him: “Now, butter board, yay or nah?”
“Come on, it’s a little ridiculous,” he said, to which Whoopi replied: “Thank you.”
“But like maybe on a small board with a brown butter situation and maybe some hazelnut or something, but like the whole massive spread-.”
Whoopi interrupted him and said: “It is still butter. I mean butter is wonderful. It’s a great condiment. It’s wonderful, but just eating gobs of butter because you can is just-. People keep saying ‘I’m concerned about my health.’ Not if you’re eating gobs of butter.”
She then demonstrated someone eating butter as she pretended to pick some up with her hand.
“It’s a lot,” Whoopi and Antoni agreed.
“I love butter don’t get me wrong,” the View host said. “Give me popcorn, I have to have all the butter, but just sitting there with some salt on it, just to munch on, like you’re having a conversation and some champagne, no!”
However, the 66-year-old eventually stopped her rant and said that wasn’t what they were there for and continued on with the cooking segment.
OH WHOOPI!
The View fan couldn’t get over Whoopi’s interpretation and took to Twitter to comment on it.
“Whoopi is definitely not understanding the butter board! She thinks you grab globs of butter and eat that. She doesn’t understand the consent of spreading the butter from the board onto your bread. #TheView,” one fan wrote.
“#TheView GOBS of butter!!!!!!” said another and added a gif of someone laughing.
A third chimed in: “Whoopi, it’s called a butter board because the butter is on the board. You can put whatever you want on it. It’s just like a charcuterie board. There are no rules as to what goes on it (other than the butter). #TheView.”
Others agreed with Whoopi and called it disgusting.
