Unearthing History: The World's Oldest Recipe Discovered

The world's oldest recipe, dating back over 3700 years, has been discovered on clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia. The recipe, described by food historian Rocío Girasol in a recent video, details a stew-like dish including meat (either fowl or lamb), leek, garlic, and spices. Bread or cereals were used to thicken the stew. "It's fascinating to think about the culinary practices of that time," Girasol says in her video. The discovery offers a unique glimpse into the food culture of ancient Mesopotamia and raises questions about how these ancient recipes might be adapted for modern cooking. Girasol's video has sparked considerable interest online, with many viewers expressing their desire to see her recreate the dish, suggesting a potential for further culinary exploration and historical investigation.
