在3000年前的爱尔兰,如果想将77磅(约合35公斤)装有牛油的桶储存起来,可选的方式并不多。考古学家之所以能够发现图片展示的牛油要感谢生活在基尔代尔沼泽地附近的居民,他们将牛油桶沉入泥炭中,结果又忘了将它们挖出来。2009年,这些牛油重见天日。 Bog butter, has lost some of its creamy richness in the interceding millennia, turning to a fatty white wax called adipocere. In Ireland of 3000 years ago, there were limited options for storing your 77 pound barrels of butter. Archeologists are eternally grateful that the inhabitants near a Kildare bog chose to sink theirs into peat, and then forgot about it, because it was still there in 2009. |
