How to Cook Pizza on a Shield Like a 600 BC Persian Soldier - Ancient Recipes with Sohla
video description
Go check out Tasting History if you want to see good historical dishes. I think Sohla is cooking with too much of her training and not by what the original recipe says to do.

I'm not very sure the Persians would actually cook bread on their shields. Since most of their shields were wicker lattice construction and would have a large amount of leatherwork. Even those with metal shields would still need to worry about damaging the leather straps or handles they use to manage them. Perhaps they used stones in the shape of their shields?
Still, good work as always Sohla.

Interesting start. I like Sohla, so I'll keep watching for a bit. The production is really weird, high quality camera work but also a lot of lazy work on the sound mixing. Also, that 'shield' looked like stainless steel rather than bronze, so baking on it is kind of BS.

Uhhh. as I recall the Persians used shields made of wicker, which was an advantage to the Greeks and Macedonians who bore bronze shields. I believe this is borne out by Arrian of Nicomedia in his 1st century A. D. book The Anabasis of Alexander.

Here is hoping all papa johns customers watch this, take notes and cook for themselves for a night. I highly doubt their ability to get it right but a slow night in these dark times when nobody wants to work would be great.

just a point they probably wouldn't have set the shield over the fire many of them had leather and wood backing they would likly have used them for radent cooking like cooking bannock on a board set beside a camp fire.

I absolutely LOVE this show except for one little thing. Every time she does the taste test I almost puke because of the chewing noise they leave in the audio.

I would love to see the ancient way of falafel. Its from ancient egypt as far as i know and egyptians to this day make their falafel out of fava beans, not chickpeas.

Our hunger for knowledge is only rivaled by the hunger created in watching these culinary clips. If I-m lying, it-s only because we were hungry before watching.

I don-t think that qualifies as a pizza since the crust is baked prior to adding toppings-. This is just a flatbread lol like as stated in the beginning.

Wish there was more of a historical side to this, than just a random guess on how they'd cook pizza. I'm disappointed and expected more from Sohla.

Sohla explains the history along with the foods and recipes in such a inspirational way. Might she composing a cookbook of these fabulous foods?

Get real you have to cook on the shield over an open fire pit to be anything like they had thousands of years ago, not a friggen oven.

Probably had camp followers prepare the food. Also the ancient Persians had Wicker shields, that would not have made good cooking trays.

I would just like to point out that knives were an integral part of any soldier-s kit. The sword was fun, but they DID have knives
