{ Local culture and heirloom strains of favas
go back much farther than any known records. Ful medames is surely of
ancient origin, but exactly how ancient hasn't been determined yet, so
far as I can tell.]


Do you think this might be the papyrus type soup described in
Greco-Roman sources? I got thie information from Alan K. Bowman's
book entitled Egypt After the Pharaohs. This book talks about the
papyrus type soup that might be the predsessor of Ful Medames.
