So what do you want on your tombstone? 'Pictures of cakes. Trust me, it'll be mildly informative 3,500 years from now'
“Wait, what if they don’t know how to make my favorite dessert in the afterlife?!” “Don’t worry, sir, we’ll paint the instructions on the walls of your tomb.” “Whew, now I can die peacefully.”
Instructions unclear, I now just have a VERY angry tiger.
I love how most recipes are pretty neat and normal and what you'd expect from ancient times and then there's just t h e o b e l i s k
Made with genuine tiger nut
To me, it looks more like they were rolling out the dough into sheets, cutting it into triangles,and rolling them up like croissants.
A moment of silence for the tigers who lost their nuts so this man can have his dessert 😢😢
im sure the comments are sane and calm and collected
I LOVE TIGER NUT SO ADDICTIVE! Whenever i went home to Nigeria, my family would already have some soaked. The texture reminds me of a teeny coconut and has this milky sweet taste❤
No tigers were harmed in the making of this video
That's the shape you decided to go with for a cake called the tiger nut cake....wicked work
Imagine the ancient Egyptians coming back and seeing this monstrosity when it probably was supposed to be a delicate fancy cake cut into triangle pieces 😅😂😋🍰
“The design is very human”
the guy must have liked this sweet so much to have the recipe put on his tomb so he could make it in the field of reeds... love to see such humanizing examples from ancient people and not only the detached histories
As an Egyptian I used to buy this sweets from the seller standing outside my school, such a lovely childhood memories. My school named abul haul school which means the Sphinx and it is literally 5 minutes walking distance from the Pyramids.
Wow, this is so interesting! I’m Iranian and in our culture we make Halvah, which is very similar to this not only with the method of how to make it and types of ingredients but also the tradition of making it to honor the deceased!! So cool how similar different cultures can be.
My sister made this for an Egyptian history project, they were delicious! Thanks for the 1K likes :)
Reminds me "mortokha" - the sweet that Assyrians make till these days, only now they use wheat flour, roast it with oil or butter and sweeten with either very sweet black tea or season with milk and a pinch of salt. Cook in the frying pan until liquid evaporates. then place it on a plate, cool down and you can cut it in triangular pie-like shape or squares/diamonds. Some add honey, rose water, etc. to it. It is amazing how these old recipes live through the ages, through centuries and millenia.
the shape certainly explains why it's called a "tiger NUT cake"
