This 4,000-Year-Old Mesopotamian Dessert Is the OG Sweet Treat

Mersu Recipe

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.”





Watch Matt Berry Turn a South Park MPAA Letter into a Shakespearean Roast

Matt Berry reads a letter from South Park creators

Ever wondered how South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut barely dodged an NC-17 rating in 1999? Turns out it involved a legendary memo, and a whole lot of sarcasm.

Fast forward to 2024: Matt Berry — yes, that velvet-throated warlock of comedy — reads the memo aloud at Letters Live in London, and it’s everything you could hope for. Fisting? Mentioned. Rim jobs? Yep. Winona Ryder? Let’s just say ping pong is involved. And somehow, it’s all delivered like a royal proclamation.

Warning: Contains strong language, passive-aggressive brilliance, and peak Matt Berry energy.
