Hah hah, Viz. At first I thought it was butter also. I think you can also maybe use a tusche crayon or maybe even a grease pencil?. But then there would be issues inking the "plate". Wonder if it's possible to use oil-based relief inks? Going to be interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

My Vote is butter.
