Mammoth Menu

The coronavirus crisis leaves many with time to wonder what folks ate for dinner 25,000 years ago.

Fortunately, we now have some clues.  A mammoth monument has recently been unearthed in Russia.  We say “mammoth” not because it’s huge, but because it’s literally constructed of mammoth bones.  Many mammoth bones.  Including 64 skulls.

While the bones were good for building, the meat was good for eating.  And every good steak deserves a baked potato.  The Flintstone version of side orders were “edible roots and tubers,” the remains of which were discovered within this monument.

So there you have it.  Things haven’t changed all that much in 25,000 years.
