Culinaria ancestral: cimiento para el desarrollo de la civilización.

Many historians and anthropologists have written about the origin of civilizations. Different views and different opinions have been published about it. However, it is only recently that scholars have focused in the important role that food had, and gastronomy has in developing nations. Eating raw, unprocessed foods often leaves us with a cool sense of grief that very likely our ancestors also felt before knowing delicacies. For those first dinners, as well as for us, the smell and taste of the food was a world of difference. The early culinary experiences of human beings should have been worthy of mention and praise. Surely there were unforgettable moments for the commensal of those prehistoric banquets. Many palates were pleased. Unfortunately we have no written references about the preparations. Teaching kitchen was made orally and was improvised based on previous results. It is since the development of Ancient Mesopotamia that we find the first references to the importance of the food cooked for sedentary men.
