Death Bed Soup

[The empressof all]

So it seems like a bit of the Fish Chowder that Allen Ginsberg ate before he died is being kept frozen for a museum exhibit.

And of course...you all I'm sure, will guess Julia Childs last soup....

1. Curse you!

:rofl: I sooo need to be cleaning today, and now i'm gonna be lost in that website. Very cool!

I'm interested in "what people ate" throughout history... So the older stuff really is interesting to me. :)

2. me too

Just yesterday I was studying life in Roman Britain, and reading about the daily life and how Romans influenced the diet. This came about because I wanted to follow a family line of genealogy back as far as I could get on the Internet, and got to 330 AD on this one line. Wow! I wanted to see just what life was like for those ancestors. I have names, I have dates....wow. They are my kin. What was their world like? Fascinating. Thanks, Al Gore, for inventing the Internet. :-)

3. I do that a lot. I get interested in something then research it. How did we live

before the internet(s)!

I've been working on my genealogy too..I haven't gotten back further than the 1600's yet. Awesome that you have worked yours back that far! Fascinating stuff.

I'd give up a portion of my arm instead before I'd let them make soup out of one of my pets.
