I'll pass on this one.
"And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them." (Ezekiel 4:12-13)

SDW, it's not out of context. Even though people try to say the dung is used as a fuel in this verse, the Hebrew text shows it's an ingredient.

You can read all about it in Chiffolo and Hesse's newly published "Cooking With The Bible - Biblical Food, Feasts and Lore." It's a 386-page book offering 18 meals mixing in scriptural text and history lessons. The authors consider it "a reference book, a story-telling book, and a cookbook." For example, there is a recipe for a marinated duck with juniper and almond sauce, the authors say is a dish that "was part of a feast that the Old Testament Joseph might have had with his betraying brothers when they came to fetch him back from exile."
The book also offers you a chance to measure like they did in Biblical times-in minas, pims, cubits and handbreaths. Those and other Biblical weights and measures appear in a chart alongside today's equivalents. But, don't let the measurements intimidate you; the authors say all of the book's recipes are geared for the modern kitchen, including the one for old fashion pita bread. And, of course, what meal is complete without dessert? The book offers a recipe inspired by John the Baptist-a carob cake to go along with locust soup featuring a dozen or two of the critters (small forelegs and part of the hind-legs removed).
In researching their book the authors say they studied various translations in different versions of the Bible for mentions of food but found some to be wrong. For example, they say the mention of corn in the King James Version could not be correct, as corn was not known in that region.
The book is full of interesting facts like those mentioned above, and it does stay true to its title by providing a host of recipes for dishes that are sure to wow your guests (or at least stimulate conversation). Can you say theme party?

The Levitical diet is the healthiest way to eat. I believe everything the Jews consider Kosher comes from Leviticus.
Mmmmm, I still love me some lobster!

Didn't Jacob roast his son Isaac on the barbecue. I don't recall if there was any marinade though.
