Peeta handing Katniss that can of lamb stew in Mockingjay was like him saying,

I'm still here. I remember and I still love you.

A spark of hope on a dark journey.

Foods of the Ancient World: Lamb Stew Recipe

Recipes have taken many forms over the course of written history, reflecting the expected knowledge of the readers as well as the culture of the people writing them. They're also used as educational tools to preserve cultural identity and reflect changes in culture as time passes.

The earliest known written recipe was written about 1730 BCE in cuneiform and was found near modern day Baghdad. It was written on three tablets from 1730 BCE with a fourth from about 1000 years after that. The most intact tablet has a list of ingredients that result in 25 soups and stews, but with scant instructions. The other two of the older tablets have more instructions and an additional 10 recipes, but are broken, making them harder to decipher. Each recipe is about four lines long, leading researchers to make their best guesses as to what the amounts of each ingredient are and what the procedure is.

While nearly 4000 years have passed, the components remain the same, leading the researchers to experiment to find proportions and preparations that suit human tastes, which they hold haven't changed that much, especially in the area around the find. They were able to recreate four of the recipes, one as a soup for someone with a cold, two that were 'foreign' dishes that had been adapted to the tastes of the people writing the tablet in the way modern foods, like hummus, are 'taken out of their homeland and adapted to new palates', and the last is for a stew.

This lamb stew was meant to be served with barley cakes to be crumbled into it, as we might use bread to sop up soup today. The stew also has hallmarks of modern-day 'comfort foods' from several cultures, such as beetroot used in borscht and Kofta Shawandar Hamudh of Ashkenazi and Iraqi Jews, as well as meat sautéed in sheep-tail's fat, which is common in Iraqi pacha.

With the borrowed foods and the broth's used of dill, something common in Iranian but not Iraqi foods, show that trade was common and appreciated at the time. The broth also uses a blood-based broth, showing that dietary rules have changed over the time as both Islamic or Jewish people today forbid the use of blood in cooking.

Another dish they were able to reconstruct resembles a modern-day chicken pot pie, layers of dough with bird meat and sauce covered with a pastry lid, appealing to showmanship for the chefs, as do the colorful plant-based ingredients like saffron, parsley, and chard. Fish sauce, which gives an 'umami' quality to foods, was rather common in the area. A combination of spices added at different times in the cooking process also enhance the flavor of the food being cooked, showing off the chef's mastery as well.

Excerpt from the post-canon fic I'm writing:

“Lamb stew with plums, your favorite!” Effie chimed when she handed Katniss her bowl.

To be polite, Katniss held her tongue, but in the back of her mind, she cringed. She did like the lamb stew, but it being her favorite was something of a joke. When Caesar had asked in her interview for the 74th what her favorite Capitol food was, she was so frozen that she just picked the first thing that came to mind. Apparently, things like that have a tendency to stick with a person. Favorite or not, it was delicious, and the rest of the options were only memories, so there was no point in correcting anyone now.

y'know aside from the insane amounts of some ingredients, I'm loving the 7 and 13/16 cups of flour. such a bizarrely specific amount.
