the invention of cooking

tee hee i just saw the most gorgeous guy in the lib.. :) :) :) some ang moh that looks very androgynous but oh-so-hot. (andro is NOT gay ok.) and he was next to a GI Joe looking angmoh so all the better for me with 2 pieces of eye candy heh. anyway there was this reading i had to do for food on the invention of cooking..and there was this pretty wild idea of how cooking might have come about.. this swineherd managed to set his pigs on fire due to negligence. in shock, he stands around his dead pigs and wonders what to tell his dad. suddenly he smells something he never smelt before and he felt his mouth moisten with a sensation he had never experienced in his life. still wondering what that might have been, he bends down and prods a pig to see if it could by any chance still be alive. he burnt his fingers when he touched the charred pig and instinctively puts his fingers in his mouth to cool it. he tastes something out of the world and that, my friends, is how cooking came about. rather imaginative huh..that's the imaginary accounts of Charles Lamb in A Dissertation Upon Roast Pig. somewhat unbelievable to me cos after the flood Noah built an altar and sacrificed burnt offerings on it and God smelt the pleasing aroma and subsequently gave man all livestock to be eaten. so that means that man already had prior knowledge that animals could be burnt, or cooked. so why do people still see the need for imaginary accounts of how cooking was invented?? the Bible has proved to be an accurate source of information, of facts at least, for non-believers who do not accept the Gospel..so why doubt it?! people knew that animals could be cooked and pleasing aromas could be obtained from the burning of animals, as back to the days of Moses livestock were offered as burnt sacrifices.. i think i shall have a little talk with my prof about this..heh and try to raise my participation grade.. should have chosen an easier module :(
