A worker has found a massive 22lb lump of butter dating back 2,000 years buried in an Irish bog - which is still edible.
Jack Conway, a turf cutter from Maghera, northern Ireland, discovered the prehistoric dairy product which 'smelled like cheese' while working on Emlagh bog last week.
The butter may have been buried to preserve it, but experts claimed it could have been an offering to the gods so that they might keep that area safe.

It was unearthed in the Drakerath area where the boundaries of three ancient baronies met.
Andy Halpin, assistant keeper in the museum's Irish Antiquities Division, told The Irish Times: 'These bogs in those times were inaccessible, mysterious places.
'It is at the juncture of three separate kingdoms, and politically it was like a no-man's-land - that is where it all hangs together.'
He added: 'Theoretically the stuff is still edible - but we wouldn't say it's advisable.'

Being of mixed German and Irish descent, I've never experienced the ailment called "hangover," which makes me wonder what else I could handle

Oh if I lived near to you I'd really be up for the challenge of "Let's find stuff to make Ben sick"

Yeah, I heard about that! You ladies like to wear perfume made out of it, apparently.
