@darius Huh. In that case I have just lucked out into the two culinary cultures that are actually *really* old by most others' standards? :D

@dequbed I encourage you to look into the actual history (I haven't even looked at your bio to see what those cultures might be, this is just a recommendation I make to everyone who thinks their food lineage is ancient. Even religious stuff, there's like, major translation and meaning changes over time, it's all interpretation that shifts)

@darius Venezuelan food (specifically Arepas) are considered to be the oldest recipe still cooked in more or less unchanged form last I checked, so I'm pretty good on that front. ;)
I don't know too much about the Aschkenazi Jewish food, but big parts of what I know are definitely at least 16th…ish century old.
