Two thousand years old and still edible. And they know because they’ve tried it. Bravery.

I believe the Navy has something similar called “Boy Butter”.

Bada-bing.

I always enjoyed my business trips to NI. We’d sneak across the border into the Republic for lunch at the most remarkable pub/restaurants.

The heat was always provided by an open hearth burning hard coal and peat.

Something about the aroma and the Grant’s Gammon made the trip worth while.

I ate some dubious Haggis once;

I crapped Bog Butter for a week.

Would unhomoginzed and unpasteurized butter have DNA from the cows in it?

Is it something like Vegemite?

If this stuff is edible it may be the ultimate survival food. Anything that lasts for 2000 years must be good stuff.

Will Michelle Obama demand it be added to the school lunch program?

Btw, just to pick a nit, 2000 years isn’t “prehistory” in Europe.
