Ancient, still-edible chunk of butter unearthed in Irish bog

A 2,000-year-old 20-pound chunk of butter has been unearthed from a peat bog in Ireland, which is said to still be edible

Even after millennia underground, however, the chunk still smells like butter

Personally, I would try it besides, we drink water that's over a million years old so I think we can handle a measly 2000 year old butter

Sound like those pete bogs in Ireland is prepping paradise, just dig a hole, bury your stuff, your grand childrens, grand children can have all the meals they want a 1000 years later.
