| August in the Country - The Seashore Winslow Homer, 1859 |
Science tells us that salt has been a part of the human diet for many thousands of years and, at the far end of those years, food was gathered for its nutritional value. Now some new research at the University of York has concluded that adding a bit of garlic mustard to your charred meat and fish was an important foodway practice as early as 7,000 years ago. Who could resist an evening around a quiet fire on a beach cooking shellfish dressed with a bit of salt and mustard garlic? Thanks to Instapundit for the link to the story. Readers may also enjoy the story about Ice Age peoples and their taste for fish. It's at the bottom of the link.
Some things just never change - only difference is the scale.
