I remember that in the story, the tiger ran around a tree and turned into butter. I think the illustrations on the kids menu had pictures from the book. But I don’t remember tiger butter as a food item. I guess some racists who didn’t know the story was about an Indian started using “sambo” as a derogatory term, and now no one can even use the story or the name. It would be like outlawing the name Tom because of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Stupid.
