What are some ancient Mesopotamian recipes? Please provide the exact ingredients and the exact measurements of those ingredients.

The Ancient
Mesopotamians were the first to write down their cooking recipes!I have a few for you.


The first two are courtesy of the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago.


This one is colorful, but you probably won't want to make it:


Baby Goat Stew

Head, legs,
and tail should be singed before putting [them in] the pot to boil.



Bring water to a boil. Add fat, onions, samidu (a type of onion), leeks,
garlic, some blood [from the goat], some fresh cheese.

Beat the whole
together.

Here's one you could actually make.The recipe
is for a basic bread -- it's alot like pita bread -- but you can add to it...
