Man, I thought I left stuff in my fridge too long.

Fascinating! You post the best stuff!

There was a TV ad in the ‘60’s with a jingle that went

“Change for the better with Alacahöyük wrap!”

...or something like that.

Old joke,

Sergeant: “Quit bitching. When Hannibal crossed the Alps he would have loved to eat that.”

Soldier: “Yeah, but it was fresh then.”

But does this meal/do these foods, meet Michelle 0’s dietary guidelines for school lunches? that is the crucial question!

Zimmern likes it. But then again, he like all kinds of disgusting $hit.

Interesting. Thanks. I read up on some ancient Roman recipes once. The grilled beef with a sea salt and honey glaze served with flat bread and onions sounded amazing. Some of the others not so much. But amazing to see ancient recipes.

I thought “C rations” were old in 1967 when we had those in ROTC.

“4,000-year-old Hittite meals”

I’d rather eat that than Moochelle obamatard’s school food..

[Politicalkiddo]

“Ninda.imza (without flavor)”

If Jeb Bush was bread...

[bgill]

Need recipes!

Their sanitary practices were better than today’s. Last and final time we were in Whataburger, the burger flipper was digging in his backside.

I really think my grade school cafeteria served that in the 1950’s. I bet they found a stash and decided to save some money.

I thought the Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich. Looks like he was gazumped by a few thousand years...

[MomwithHope]

Ping to our resident chef. Johnny pretty cool, huh?

[JRandomFreeper]

I do collect old recipes and try them out (sometimes).

I don't think I would have any problem eating with these guys.

I've found that if things are really bad, I can just take off my glasses and everything improves. ;)
