THE OLDEST(-ish) RECIPE IN THE WORLD: Ingredients: - 1 bunch of sorrel - 1 bunch watercress - 1 bunch of dandelion leaves - Some chives - 1 cup of barley - soaked - Some Venison - Beef Bung Steps: 1. Chop up the herbs & weeds. Crush & mash the barley with a mortar & pestle. Chop the venison until finely minced. 2. Using a spoon, mix all of the ingredients together until well combined. Add a little water to combine the mixture, if necessary. 3. Stuff the beef bung with the venison & herb mixture. Tie off each end of the stuffed bung with a string & cut off the excess bung. 4.
