Dishes That Are Much Older Than We Realized

Overview

Avocado toast, goat cheese, alternative meat dishes - these are all that we'd consider 21st-century food trends. But did you know the bases of these dishes have been around a long time? In some cases, thousands of years? Our ancient human ancestors were no different from us in wanting tasty dishes, so they created some of the staple recipes that we take for granted today. From pancakes to pot pie to popcorn, different people in various pockets of the world were responsible for creating (or stumbling upon) some of our favorite foods today.
