Advances in medical
science come and nutritional fads go, but we keep on eating soup to get
better when we're ill. It's been the same for centuries and new research
suggests why.
On the sofa or tucked up in bed feeling ill? Chances are
you're tucking into some hot soup to help you feel better. It's what
your grandparents would have done, their grandparents and generations
before that.
Convalescent cookery has remained "remarkably constant" for centuries,
according to new research published by Ken Albala, a food historian at
the University of the Pacific in California. This is despite huge
changes in the way we eat and major shifts in nutritional theory and
medicine.
