How do they know that it was intended to be a soup and not, say, a stew or casserole? It’s got to be a dry powder by now.

Yeah, like your food is totally clear of MSG, RED 40#, and GMOs.

What I discovered was some poor boy was asked by his wife what he wanted for dinner that day-and he decided against rock soup. What else was on the menu for the day?

It’s said to be a custom to bury soup and wine along with the coffin back then, so the “owner” of the tomb could “enjoy” it. No wonder. The ancient people in power would bury anything, or anyone to their likings.

I guess it’s an antiquated twist on “SOUL” food....

I live a good bowl of soup, but the longest I'll wait for it is about a day... This is ridiculous!

The liquid and bones in the vessel had turned green due to the oxidation of the bronze, it said. Scientists were expected to conduct further tests to confirm the liquid was indeed soup and to identify the ingredients. Hmmmph. So much for the childhood memories of "eat your peas - there are starving kids in China". What a scam. Even the kids in China were trying to unload the stuff.

You don't have to go on any archeological digs to find 2400 year old soup. Just go to your nearest Food Lion...
