There’s “grandma’s old recipe”… and then there’s Mersu, the 4,000-year-old Mesopotamian dessert dug up from what is basically an ancient Costco receipt.

In Tasting History with Max Miller, Max brings this prehistoric pastry back to life using dates, nuts, and zero cursed amulets. It’s sweet, chewy, and perfect for snacking while you absolutely destroy your friends in The Royal Game of Ur like a true Sumerian snack god.

One bite and you’ll be saying, “Dang, Hammurabi knew what was up.”
