2,400 Year Old Soup Discovered in China

[Lacsapix]

if that was a bottle of wine instead of soup it would be worth billions.

Id eat that...

Anyone want to bet?

OT: OK i wouldnt really want to eat that i either turn into a host for the spirit that resides in the soup or just die a very slow and painfull death.

See, here I was thnking it was so old that it had turned to moss, then I realized how stupid that sounded and told myself to GTFO

You seriously thought when things get old it turns to moss?

I was actually being a dipshit for the sake of a laugh

See this kinda find is epic stuff. It bothers me what is being left behind by us for future generations to find. Somehow a 2400 year old Pot Noodle doesn't seem quite so...worthy...as 2400 year old soup in a bronze pot.

Well there's a restaurant that's only getting one star in their food rating from city council!

I am sure there is some joke to make here about it being unearthed in Maruchan's processing center, but I can't bring myself to do it. That salty goodness kept me alive through college.

For more fun with ancient recipes, try this [http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/year-round-brews/midas-touch.htm] or this [http://www.dogfish.com/brews-spirits/the-brews/occassional-rarities/chateau-jiahu.htm].

Maybe if we find some other ancient recipes I can prepare a "Meals of History" dinner!

I don't like mushrooms period. This sounds kind of interesting, it must've smelled pretty bad when they opened it, lol.

Why don't you like mushr... wait, huh?

Isn't that funny that finding a 2400 year-old soup will allow archaeologists to learn things about eating habits?

A single bowl of soup, found inside a tomb (which is maybe not the most realistic place)?

If anything, it should give insight on burial habits!

This was exactly what I was thinking. This is what I hate about archeology. Assumptions will be told as fact based on some edible product found in a tomb. I'm afraid that they'll "discover" the eating habits by examining some sort of incense, medicine, or offering. My soap is edible and is in shower gel form. Who knows, in 2500 years, people might assume it's soup.

Nope, I don't like mushrooms at all. I can't stand them, for some reason. Also, I read your entire post in the voice of "MC Pee Pants" from Aquateen Hunger Force, which is where you probably got your name anyway, lol.

Why the hell would there be soup in a burial tomb? Whoever the tomb belonged to must have really liked that stuff. Ah well, it's a neat find, whatever the reason.

Now I'm starvin'. We have any 2000 year old soup in the back? No? Pretzel rods'll have to do.

Seriously, cool stuff. Wonder if the findings will produce recipes on how to make it..

"There's some 2,400 year old soup left...
...
...Eat it?
-> Yes
You decided to eat the old soup.
Your Courage increased! ... However, you don't feel so good and decide to go to bed."

Mad props, and a (newly made) cookie to anyone who knows the reference!

On topic though, I wonder how that soup smelled

 

[photog212]

They're going to study it now and then 30 minutes later they'll already want to study again.

that's very funny

 

[Fuselage]

Well since my people over in China will eat anything I suggest having it locked up before it disappears mysteriously.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

Found Near the Terracotta army huh?
Well, go on Mummy Franchise, You've bastardized THAT find. Might as well go the whole way.

[Antari]

Koei will probably make a special soup version of ROTTK or Dynasty Warriors now ...

 

[rokkolpo]

sounds akin to the pots of preserved honey in eygpt except that you could still eat the honey

That's because it's honey, and quite frankly unable to spoil.
