![Was there a tradition of making Baclava out of PEOPLE? Alexander the Great and other historical figures were apparently embalmed in honey. And a Chinese medical source records that apparently Middle East people would ‘mellify’ bodies. “In the lands of the Arabs there are men 70 or 80 years old who are willing to give their bodies to save others. Such a one takes no more food or drink, only bathing and eating a little honey, till after a month his excreta are nothing but honey; then death ensues. His compatriots place the body to macerate in a stone coffin full of honey, with an inscription giving the year and month of burial. After a hundred years, the seals are removed and the confection so formed used for the treatment of wounds and fractures of the body and limbs—only a small amount taken internally is needed for the cure. Although it is scarce in those parts, the common people call it “mellified man” [miren 蜜人], or, in their foreign speech, “mu-nai-i”. Thus Mr. [Tao], but I myself do not know whether the tale is true or not. In any case, I append it for the consideration of the learned.” I’m no sure the veracity on this one, but I always think about it when I eat baklava, the honesy dessert. I hope you always think of mellified men when you eat baklava in the future too :-) #history #foodhistory #honey #honeyhistory #baklava #scotland #fun #interesting #historyfacts #scottish #edinburgh #edfringe](/video/cover/7430871259346439457.webp)
