One of the things I love about recipes is that it's a way to literally relive history. I can make a recipe from Ancient Rome, and experience something that a person experienced thousands of years ago.
@RickiTarr I'm looking for a good 1800's gruel recipe
@pitd @RickiTarr Gruel is last night's stew thickened with oatmeal. And it's delicious. (Assuming you made good stew.)
@Fishercat @RickiTarr If you have to thicken stew the next day, it was soup.
