My new book Fodder & Drincan out October 22 @prospectbooks explores the history of food,drink & a whole lot more in the early medieval period - busts plenty of myths & brings Anglo-Saxon society vividly back to life (if I do say so myself)! #viking #History #earlymedieval #saxon

I came across one of these when visiting a Mexican village. It's a traditional Mayan Pib - a method of cooking I'm tackling for some learning resources.Underground ovens traverse many cultures, but I've never created one.
Has anyone else? I'd love to know.

Humour me I'm doing some research....What are the first things you think about, in terms of any emotional connections when you look at this object?
Appreciate this won't be the same for different cultures & apologies in advance for any triggers. PM me if preferred
