What is one of the oldest beverages humans have produced with recipes found in Sumerian writings?
Brewing methods Beer is produced through steeping a sugar source (commonly malted cereal grains) in water and then fermenting with yeast. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archeological evidence suggests that this technique was used in ancient Egypt. Descriptions of various beer recipes can be found in Sumerian writings, some of the oldest known writing of any sort. Brewing is done in a brewery by a brewer, and the brewing industry is part of most western economies.
Bamia Bamia matbukha (باميه مطبخ 'cooked okra') or bamia bi-lahm (البامية باللحم 'okra with meat'), often called simply bamia, is a Middle Eastern , Egyptian and Sudanese stew prepared using lamb, okra and tomatoes as primary ingredients. Additional ingredients used include tomato sauce, onion, garlic, cilantro, vegetable oil, cardamom, salt and pepper. In Egypt, sinew (tendons) of lamb are typically used, which can endure long cooking times. Ta'aleya, an Egyptian garlic sauce, is used as an ingredient to add flavor to Bamia. The word "bamia" itself is simply the Arabic word for okra.
