How to make 4000 year old Mesopotamian stew

[@tubbydammer]

I like it when an ancient recipe is something I would happily eat today. That looks both simple to do and delicious. Thank you!

Me too! It's a bit of a thrill isn't it - like 'oh my God, I have something tangible in common with these people that lived thousands of years ago' I love that so much.

Interesting how lamb (mutton) and mint were flavour partners 4000 years ago! I always assumed it was a more recent combination (hundreds of years?). I am so happy you have decided to start a KZbin channel, although I always look forward to your blog because you "dough things differently there"!

[@thepastisaforeignpantry5218]

Me too, I couldn't believe it when I saw how old the combination of mint and lamb was! Thank you for your lovely words, I'm so pleased you're enjoying my blog too.

You’re epilogues are wonderful! As are the rest of the episodes.

This looks delish.

Thank you. It looked very nice.

Thanks! Nice and easy - the best kind of cooking.

Can't exactly fold that list up and shove it in a pocket. ^_^ Thanks for the video.

Ha! No, I guess not! Glad you enjoyed the video

It should brothy for the bread.

I enjoyed this. The visual joke did make me laugh!

[@thepastisaforeignpantry5218]

My husband said he would divorce me if I did it, but I did it anyway 😂

I'm not a fan of brothy things, so I would do it your way. Not sure I can get ahold of mutton but I can get lamb...hmmm.

[@thepastisaforeignpantry5218]

The beauty of the recipe is that it really can be anything you fancy - broth, stew, whatever. I suppose you could even serve it as a dipping sauce if you wanted as well.

This stew is only for the elite or on very special occasions.
