It's amazing how advanced were the ancients according to
r.food.recipes! I quote from today's recipes.

"Ezekiel Bread

This is the bread that Ezekiel is said to have lived on while he
was in
the desert for two years. It is nutritionally complete. The
recipe calls
for grinding your own flour from a variety of grains and dried
beans"

It includes pinto beans and 2 packages of active dried yeast.

Yup. I can just picture his wife saying "Honey, won't you just hop on
the donkey and go get me 2 packages of active dried yeast?"

It's not the yeast, it's the pinto beans -- that donkey would have
to cross the Atlantic!

LOL weren't they supposed to be the Israeilites? Unlevened bread or
something like that. I'm not up on the Bible.

The Israelites ate leavened bread, but not at Passover.

Tell that to the no-carbers. I never said I was against bread, just that I
don't think that recipe had anything to do with Ezekiel or the Israelites.
I'm not religious but I do read

I don't know if you are responding to me or not. I only posted a reference
book that I had seen at Amazon yesterday that looked sort of interesting,
but actually was in the category of 'more than I need/want to know.'
Offering it up for anyone who was/is interested.

I have a fascinating book called "Prehistoric Cooking" by a British woman
called Jacqui Wood. She mentions a substance called 'bog butter' and it
seems that putting substances in a bog was indeed a way of preserving food:
