How can people today get a "taste of the past"? A taste of the past! Thanks to the fertile land near the River Nile, the Ancient Egyptians could grow crops and raise animals for food. They had lots of good quality ingredients, and they used them to cook a surprising variety of different dishes. Bread was very popular and cheap to make. The Ancient Egyptians baked it in many different ways, often adding oil, spices, or chopped vegetables to make it tastier. One kind of bread was aish baladi, which is still popular in Egypt today. However, in the past, people baked it slowly in special clay ovens which they heated with wood fires. Today, we can bake it quickly in electric ovens. Another food that was popular in Ancient Egypt was hummus. To make it, people boiled and mashed chickpeas, then mixed them with oil, garlic, and salt. In fact, there is an Egyptian recipe for hummus still used today that is nearly 1,000 years old! Some Ancient Egyptians also ate meat and fish. They usually grilled meat over a fire, in the same way that we make kebabs today, or roasted it in ovens. However, they didn't have fridges, so to preserve meat and fish they dried them and covered them in salt. They made the fish dish we still know as fesikh in this way. Some people still use this method today to get a real taste of the past!
