Wow, what the heck this looks better preserved than most mummies i ever saw.

Was this a natural accidental pickle process or an intentional practice?

I want to be pickled after death now.

I'm sure it was accidental at first, but eventually they found out bogs were great at preserving things. There are plenty of records of people putting food in bogs to preserve them.

Didn't someone find perfectly good butter in a bog from a few hundred years ago?

Would you eat toast that had been buttered with the bog butter?

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Honestly, depends on the smell. But I'd probably try a bite

[-] Oszilloraptor@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago

I'd probably take a bite a day after they took a bite
