Could Daniel Have Eaten This Babylonian Stew?

It took almost seventy years and a French Assyriologist to understand the cuneiform tablets were ingredients for soup recipes and not  pharmecutical tablets. Thank you, Jean Bottéro. 

If you are studying ancient Babylon or planning a Bible study and need the flavors of Babylon to make the accounts of Daniel and Necuchadnezzar come alive, here are two recipes, one for Babylonian stew and one for Tah'u Stew.
