In the old days, food tasted better and was more nutritious. This is because of the
cooking methods our great grandparents used. There were no modern appliances like
microwave ovens, food processors or automatic cookers like what we use today. Food
may be cooked faster in modern times, but it is not as tasty or nutritious as the food
our great grandparents cooked. In yesteryears, our great grandparents used charcoal
to cook. They would use a pestle and mortar to pound their spices. The spices were
used to marinate raw food such as fish and chicken or to cook curries. They would
wrap fish in banana leaves before grilling the fish over a fire. They also cooked
vegetables which were freshly picked from their own gardens. Thus, the nutritional
value in the food was maintained and it tasted better.
