Let’s get serious here.

I mean we ARE talking about food. AKA, da gainz!

Yet you may be wondering, why do I need to go and make something from a hundred years ago.

“I have Taco Bell, Bro!”

Or that you’re already making amazing food. why learn more?

The best way to learn about history is to live it and EAT it.

Just saying.

Seriously though, in order to learn a historical dish, you’r going to have to learn something about the way it was mad,e the views of the people around that time.

Its an act of empathy.

You’re dis-articulating yourself from the McDonalds, at least for a little bit, in order to jump into the past.

You’re going to learn about how this piece of food placed into the lifestyles of day-to-day athletes, also known as REAL PEOPLE.

From the practicality point of view, trying new dishes makes you more interesting. You can talk about the impact of a meal, create something that’s tantalizingly different, and STILL make gains for your fitness goals.
