there are some dishes literally 1000 years old. Worth to save them in the era of fast food and AI. slop.
Imagine knowing the exact dish that let's say Jesus or Julius Cesar ate and be able to recreate it.
That's the point.
Maybe a meat fed on something that flavours the meat? Similar to Jamón ibérico de bellota. Preminted lamb?
Unfortunately where I'm from is a bit culturally sparse and we don't really have many dishes to call our own. I could pick something from the Hokitika Food Festival... Say Fried Huhu Grubs or Possum? Although recently that festival seemed to have been taken over by food trucks.
If I wanted to be controversial, maybe I could start a more secret society for Hector's steak, Seal soup, or Kererū Pie. I'd like that rare please.
If I wanted to steal a recipe, Biltong, or maybe rotted crayfish (a favorite of my friend's grandad).

A quick search implies the bible don't really say much about what he ate. And 2000 years of selection and husbandry will have radically changed the genetics and flavours of most modern equivalent foodstuffs.
And I just discovered that a poached egg topping a Cæsar Salad is something we do in NZ...
My best bet would be to create a new dish at the same time as creating an appreciation society with me as the grand master, to be venerated in future millennia.
