Haven't seen it. Got it in the queue for 'watch soonest'

I am familiar with the theory. I was a studious student, and during culinary school, I spent a lot of time on history of food. That included visiting a real school and talking to archeologists/etc... about food origins, etc... Made much easier with meals that I was learning to cook in school.

There was some controversy over whether bread lead to beer or beer lead to bread.

One evening, I led some doc-candidates and post-docs in a beer-making/breadmaking exersize.

Amazing what a little bit of real world experience does to theories.

I want to thank you publically for the recommended series. I just watched it.

Wonderful. And I couldn't find anything incorrect about it.

God does love us, and wants us to be happy.
