The loaf above was found at Pompeii and may be similar to the Scandinavian product (except for the shape). So far as I can tell from the article, bread finally became a common part of the Scandinavian diet in the Viking age.Īccording to the article, the early forms of bread were more like small, round rolls, made from a dough consisting of two parts flour to one part water, and cooked in a frying pan over a fire. Grave finds also indicate that bread was associated with male leaders-not females-and was not an everyday commonplace. Bergström's theory is that Scandinavians learned how to make bread from Roman soldiers, possibly from serving with Roman forces as auxiliaries. Grain likely was eaten by Scandinavians much earlier, but in the form of porridges, not as bread. If you’re looking for a factual, funny, and historically interesting book all about death, this is the book for you.It appears that the earliest finds of bread and bread-making equipment in Scandinavia date to about 200 C.E. But, while my dreams of helping families go through the grieving process may not have come to fruition, the fact that people like Caitlin are out there breaking the boundaries and stigmas around the death industry makes my morbid little heart so warm and happy. My thanatology courses were full of dudes looking to inherit their Dad’s funeral homes. I feel like I would have stayed the course and went into the death industry as I wanted too if I had seen another woman my age doing it as well. I wish Caitlin and YouTube had been around when I was in school and majoring in Thanatology. Which gives us parents an idea of what our kids are really wondering and thinking about regarding death. The best part about this book is that all the questions were asked by children. Which was, btw, will my cat eat my eyeballs (answer: maybe!). Answering questions about Viking funerals, corpse’s pooping, and so much more, I was hooked in from the very first question. I read this book at the beach, as one does, and I was so engrossed in it I blew through it in a day. In which case, this is a great book for them. Unless your kid is super into death-related topics like I was as a child. Let’s be clear, this book is answering children’s questions, but it’s not really a children’s book. ![]() This easy to read and super enjoyable book is written in a way that answers children’s questions around death in a straight forward but humorous way that adults will enjoy reading. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs is no different. Caitlin’s writing style is a mixture of the dry gripping reality of death with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is one of my all-time favorite books. This book features questions asked by kids about death issues. This post is about her new book that was just released, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? Big Questions From Tiny Mortals About Death. ![]() ![]() But this post is not about her amazing YouTube channel. I’ve actually already written about my love for Caitlin and her YouTube channel, Ask A Mortician. Y’all, everyone dies and everyone is super curious about what happens to your body and the process of disposing of your corpse. Yes, I have a favorite mortician, doesn’t everyone? No? Lame. Or dead, as the case may be regarding this book.Ĭaitlin Doughty is my favorite mortician. Today we are reviewing a book called, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs. ![]()
