Theories about exactly what "bog butter" is vary
It sounds like GHEE commonly referred to as "liquid gold" by Krishna. It has a multitude of uses ranging from cooking, medicinal, ceremonial and fuel.

Need to find some Irish bog bread and bog jam to go with it.
Sorry for the cheesy comment, but it’s the best I can do on only one cup of bog water coffee.
