Two workers have discovered an oak barrel, full of butter, estimated to be roughly 3,000 years old, in Gilltown bog, between Timahoe and Staplestown, in Ireland.

According to a report in Leinster Leader, the amazing discovery of the barrel, which is being described by archaeology experts in the National Museum as a "really fine example" was found by two Bord na Mona workers...

What they found was an oak barrel, cut out of a trunk, full of butter. It was largely intact, except for a gash towards the bottom of it caused by the harrow. It was head down, and had a lid; something that has excited the archaeologists. The barrel is also split along the middle, which is common with utensils filled with butter found in the bogs. A conservator at the National Museum, Carol Smith, told the Leinster Leader that the butter expands over time, causing the split...

The butter has changed to white and is now adipocere, which is essentially animal fat, the same sort of substance that is found on well-preserved bodies of people or animals found in the bog... He estimates that the barrel is approximately 3,000 years old, from the Iron Age.

From the headline, I thought this about some old goat they dug up.

Doesn’t matter, though; either way, the discovery was bound to raise a big stink.

Still, I think the writer larded the story with more detail than necessary.

Let your pages do the walking through the yellow fingers... [time travel! aiiie!]

Ahhh...now you’re making me melt...

Thanks for clarifying the topic...

Any one else would “draw and quarter” the rest of us on the thread...

Excellent. LOL

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks!

I parkay my butt in front of computers at work eight hours and then later at home for an hour or four, and it makes me giddy. ;’)

They finished the other prehistoric keg of homebrew and kept it to themselves.

Made ya look! Made ya look!

3000 years from now, some lucky archaeologist will find an “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” tub with the exterior colors intact, and it’ll be big news.

I’ll probably still be running the GGG ping list then, so keep an eye on your “my comments” screen.

[SunkenCiv]

y’know, I had no notion this would be such a popular topic right away. It’s gratifying. And thanks for your kind remarks. :’)

“...an oak barrel, cut out of a trunk, full of butter”

Pot of gold gone bad!

The team later spread the butter on raisan cinamon bread and claimed it delicious.

[discomatic]

I didn’t understand the headline either.

[SunkenCiv]

They’re always after me lucky charms.

[SunkenCiv]

Don’t even *ask* where they found the raisin cinnamon bread...

[Billthedrill]

Full points for the headline. I don't know how Darwin could possibly survive this revelation.

I mean, if he hadn't been dead for 127 years.
