Archaeology Now presents Culinary Adventure: An Ancient Meal

Courtesy of Archaeology Now Uploaded by Carlos Uribe
This cultural event invites guests to feast like an ancient Sumerian and experience a glimpse of the food from ancient Middle East to current day Iraq. Led by Iraqi archaeologist Dr. Zaid Alrawi, the event features a replication of a meal from a 5,000-year-old tavern discovered at the excavations in Iraq and beer from ancient Iraqi recipes for guests to enjoy while taking part in the cuisine, which is certain to include fish and grains. An Ancient Meal will also include Chefs from Bite of HOPE, culinary leaders from the local Houston Iraqi community and a 5,000-year-old ancient refrigerator.
