LET'S EAT (Jan, 2007)

What were ovens like in ancient times? Did the early peoples even have ovens? What foods did they eat? Why did the early Chinese place plates of food in the tombs of their loved ones? The Egyptians did as well - for the same reason? What is the real story about chocolate's origin? Was Rome's famed fish sauce really putrid-smelling? What do the bones uncovered at Windsor Castle reveal about the royal diet? You'll find the answers to these questions and many more in DIGTM's January 2007 issue. Join us as we dig for the answers, even uncovering some ancient poop in the process.
