Bulgarian term or phrase: трапезен
Става въпрос за трапезни и деликатесни продукти. Table нещо не ми се нрави. Мога ли да позвам repast, например, за българска трапеза? И как Ви звучи natural, за трапезно масло?

table
Explanation:
Table salt, table sugar, table butter - всички те се използват често като изрази. Не бих използвал repast. Предлагам Bulgarian cuisine/food/spread в зависимост от контекста.

butter


Explanation:
You would only qualify a food with "table" if there is a danger of confusing them with something else.
For most English-speaking consumers, "butter" is just "butter", which you put on the table and spread on your bread. Perhaps "trapezen" is added in Bulgarian because "maslo" can refer to a lot of other things. The qualification "table butter" only appears to occur in more specialised texts (or on non-English websites). Otherwise you would only need to qualify butter if it is not intended for the "table" (e.g. cooking butter, body butter).
