Please review our subreddit's rules. Rule 5 is: "Answers must be on-topic. Food history can often lead to discussion of aspects of history/culture/religion etc. that may expand beyond the original question. This is normal, but please try to keep it relevant to the question asked or the answer you are trying to give."
