Fries and fried meat... Re: [Sca-cooks] horsemeat

Unfortunately, Ninkasi's Hymn isn't as fun.  It's actually a recipe for
Sumerian Beer.

Ancient Sumeria, now known as Southern Iraq, not only is thought to be the
earliest civilization, but also the first brewers of beer.  Some scholars
have hypothesized that beer strongly influenced the hunter-gatherers to
settle down and become farmers, so they could grow grain to make beer.
(Of course, that is by no means a proven theory.)
