Modern food blogs wish they had this level of longevity. No popups, no ads, just stew!

A Babylonian stew prepared by Tasting History if anyone wants to try out an updated recipe:

and a Babylonian tuh'u specifically made for the New Year celebrations:

And just yesterday Max posted a video about assyrian pomegranate beer

Table of the Gods is a similar channel specifically about recipes of ancient Mesopotamia. Very neat stuff, some of which I believe comes from this very tablet.

All this content proudly and shamelessly lifted from the evil empire. 🙂

Mind explaining why this bothers you enough to post this comment multiple times¹?

¹ twice is technically multiple times, I'm hyperbolic here for a slight bit of almost-humour

    Because a member of the LGBT community accepting an invitation by fascists and their enablers to go to a tournament that many loudly and vocally protested for many reasons, who then goes on to post about how great of a time they're having, is worthy of bringing up in more than just a comment reply to another account.

    Ah, thank you for that.

    I'm surprised I don't see you posting in WAY more threads about people we should also avoid, then, as it seems like a relatively common offense.

    I'm not dismissing your concerns out of hand, mind. I've had to decide many times who I wish to throw out (JK Rowling) and who I really really don't want to throw out but have at least minimized my support (Neil Gaiman). It's a hard call, and standing up for what you feel strongly about - especially when it's at least a pretty good cause - is something I can respect, even if my instinct on THIS one is to go "really? eh, who cares".

    For me personally, it can take me some times to let ideas percolate in my head. My initial reaction is not to immediately unsub from Tasting History. But I'll ponder on it, thanks to you.

    I guess I'm saying all this becasue I expected the reply to be something stupid I could just ignore and then berate you for spamming the thread. But I certainly can't say that, whether or not I end up agreeing with you.

    So thank you for the answer. I do appreciate it. And I will honestly consider it.
