Archaeologists digging in Odense, Denmark discovered barrels dating back to the 14th century. The contents of the barrels, however, were not for the faint of heart. What was inside the barrels, you ask? Poop!
Even after hundreds of years, that poop still stunk. Perhaps it stunk even more. Despite the terrible stench, however, archaeologists went on to examine the fecal-filled barrels. Oh, the things we do for science.
Their efforts, however, were not in vain. Thanks to the well-preserved poop barrels, we now have an idea of what food was popular in 14th century Odense. What was popular you ask? Raspberries!
