If you can dig up some nice bog wine to pair it with, why not.

Ah maaaaan....bog butter, again?

I'm not sure if I'd try it or not, it would depend heavily on the smell.

quote:

Hyena butter is a secretion from the anal gland of hyenas used to mark territory and to identify individuals by odor. The gooey substance is spread onto objects within the territory of the hyena by rubbing their posterior against the object they mark.[1][2][3]

African legends state that witches would ride hyenas and use a gourd full of hyena butter as fuel for the torches they carried through the night.[4]

In certain regions of central Africa, local people spread Hyena butter on toast.

Goddamn, that's pretty gross. Do they just keep hyenas around in a pen to butt-milk them for their morning toast or what?

Or do they sniff out a good milky rock or bush and rub their toast on it?

E: I'm assuming that's a fake wiki edit but I also wouldn't have believed in bog butter before today so who knows.

Why not now? When I read this in the news my first thought was Kerrygold.

Also lol if you don't use Amish butter. It's grass fed, hand churned, and you get a 10 pound log for like $7.

Jack Conway of Ireland has found a 22 pound lump of butter estimated to be 2,000 years old in a peat bog.



This happens a lot:


The bog keeps the butter preserved and, often, edible. But would you eat it? Would you eat the bog butter?

If I were guaranteed that it wouldn't instantly make me throw up or kill me, yes

http://www.sciencealert.com/this-newly-found-2-000-year-old-lump-of-bog-butter-is-still-edible

quote:

Because of these conditions, and the fact that the butter was found without a wooden case around it - which was common for keeping butter safe for later consumption - the researchers studying it think it was buried as an offering to the gods or other spirits for protection.

In other words, no one simply forgot about their butter in the swamp. It was left intentionally, and was never meant to be unearthed.

Eating stolen bog butter that rightfully belongs to ancient pagan deities sounds like the start of a horror movie to me. Not a good one either. You could find yourself trapped in a low budget horror movie with terrible special effects, the worst kind.

I assume that's why they aren't letting anyone eat it, and have instead sent it to a museum.

quote:

The bog butter is now residing at the National Museum of Ireland. There's no word yet if it will be put on display.
