    In my elementary school, we read a child's book about stone soup. Our teachers used to take us every so often to make stone soup out in the local river. With California weather, making stone soup was a nice way to spend the day.

    this is actually a very common dish in old European history as well, its easy to heat a stone but its hard to heat a clay bowl without shattering it, so the obvious solution is to boil stuff with superheated stones.

    We learned about Stone soup in my 4th grade class. Our teacher was one of the few who actually taught us about several traditions of where Stone soup is eaten. Usila was one of them. We even got to make our very own Oaxaca inspired soup & it was absolutely delicious. A true dish of culture.

  • @vaska1999
    @vaska1999 6 лет назад +15

    The heated rocks are there to keep the water boiling so the fish can cook in it. This suggests the custom dates from a period before the indigenous people had any cooking utensils that could withstand high heat.

    I remember when I was in 1st grade I think, when my teacher hosted a story telling and the story was "Stone Soup" I didn't join because I can't memorize it and I was scared of public speaking. It was hosted at the top of my school which is the stage. Then some of my classmates (not all) memorized the story when the day finally came, they brought props to make it more realistic. (They didn't cook the soup though) and me and my friends just watched them.
    I miss the old days 😭

    is it only an American-continent thing to cook with heated rocks in a pit in the ground? Farther north we have clambakes and fish boils, which is the same principle. I just figured that was what everyone did if they found themselves on a beach with raw food and no stove. It's safer to cook the rocks and then use them to boil the food than to put the food over an open fire, because high fat or high water content foods cause the fire to sputter wildly. probably good for pork too. It's cool that stone soup is actually a thing though, anybody else remember that kid's book?

    Stone boiling has been used by many cultures for many many many years, what makes this method any different? Looks like it would taste good with the fresh seafood. Also, the rocks you use for doing this must be porous or they will explode! Don't try this unless you know your geology.

    The stone isn't an ingredient... It's a cooking method. They don't eat the rocks... This method dates back to the Stone Age and isn't specific to this region. But I guess there isn't many people who would use it since the apparition of better, safer and more convenient technologies...

Water, electricity, public utilities? Most of the taxes your paying is what keeps that society of ours running (not implying that it's flawless but still) And what life would you call as living with morals Valor honour and dignity? Living in the caves eating rocks preeching to God? (Not to sound like a dick) I would rather live in today's society than in the Stone Age But you know what they say "To be patriotic; hate all nations but your own, to be religious; all sects but your own, to be moral; all pretences but your own"
