The very old bog blob apparently still smells like a dairy product—a strong cheese, to be precise—and has a crumbly texture. It might even taste good, too.

Is it supposed to be a poem?

Not that I know it. Or not intentionally.

How does one become an "ancient butter expert"? And is that really their job title?

Now all we need is some 2000 year old bread to spread it on.

But you are all forgetting the important questions. Is the butter healthy, is it salted or non salted.
And what qualifications did the guy who first tasted it have and how many bottles of Whisky had he just drunk?
