--- Quote ---Five Thousand Year Old Ancient Taverna Discovered In Iraq

A 5,000-year-old taverna has been found in Iraq – complete with an oven, a refrigerator, and dishes on the tables filled with food.

We may often think that the lifestyle of Western civilisation has evolved over time, but a recent archaeological discovery in Iraq shows that people used to eat alfresco in taverns 5,000 years ago.

The taverna discovered by archaeologists in the ancient city of Lagash, dates back to 2,700 BC containing evidence of Sumerian culture. The Sumerians were an ancient people who appeared in the Mesopotamia region between 6000 and 4000 BC, a populace who were at their peak between about 3000 and 1500 BC.

A menu has also been found there - "roast lamp", "little nonsenses" and "atomic pizza"...  And not a receipt in sight.  ;)

Wonder if the sign outside said, "We speak English good".

And don't forget the local wine: passed by the management.
