My new book Fodder & Drincan out October 22 @prospectbooks explores the history of food,drink & a whole lot more in the early medieval period - busts plenty of myths & brings Anglo-Saxon society vividly back to life (if I do say so myself)! #viking #History #earlymedieval #saxon

I came across one of these when visiting a Mexican village. It's a traditional Mayan Pib - a method of cooking I'm tackling for some learning resources.Underground ovens traverse many cultures, but I've never created one.
Has anyone else? I'd love to know.

@davided41633250 It could be, but more likely used for sugar paste borders. If you read my blog post https://t.co/IyJIBOnl5D you'll see how they were similar and often made by the same wood carvers. This one has a provenance to suggest it was used for gum paste.
