That certainly is different.
What’s funny to me is the mortar and pestle. So many different countries have it. It’s funny how countries that are so far apart have the same tool.

Could that have been one of the first tools invented during the earliest stages of human development?

At that time of human development, inventing a mortar and pestle makes you the equivalent of Tony Stark. haha
As per google:
¨ Scientists have found ancient mortars and pestles in Southwest Asia that date back to approximately 35000 BC.¨
I imagine it probably looked something like this back then.

If you had told me as a kid that I’d like eating olives, I’d have said you were crazy. (Same goes for tomatoes.)
Yet, here I am today,
Olives are great to eat alone, but are also a very easy way to jazz up just about any salad.
As of 2019, the top 20 olive producing countries, based on metric tons.
I don’t know why, but I didn’t expect the USA and Portugal so high on the list.

Imagine after doing all that work, I go in there as a tourist and offer the equivalent of $5 USD for that mortar and pestle.

That’s a nice stone mortar and pestle. It’ll last forever!
One difference I noticed with the clay versions, some of them have a lip on the inside.
This helps prevent the ingredients from running up the inside wall and falling out.

That product probably sells locally for equivalent to $1.50 USD, even with all that labor involved.

It looks delicious, but I’d definitely add a lot more garlic. At least one head of garlic.
Two cloves definitely isn’t enough for me! haha
@SmallPaul Is two cloves of garlic enough for you in a dish this size?
When I saw that big pot, I knew they meant business!!
That version of the mortar and pestle I think is probably closer to the first version in prehistoric times.
Eventually, someone realized that if you make it bowl-shaped, the contents stop falling all over the place.
I wonder why they keep using this flat version. I’ve seen pictures of the same thing in some African countries. Strange how similar different cultures can be.

My Version of mortar and pestle, cheap and get’s the job done 
If what you are making needs some serious pounding you can replace the black hard plastic with a mini wooded Baseball bat

Whatever works!
Well, it’s basically the same thing, right! The clay mortars have wooden pestles.
I’ve never drank Jagermeister before, and the times I’ve done shots of other alcohols in the past, they always burned.
I suppose I never learned how to drink and enjoy alcohol, by itself or mixed.
A few years ago I enjoyed a small glass of Black Label whiskey. It was actually quite pleasant, as I’ve never tasted anything like that before.
I don’t care for excessive alcohol consumption, but I would like to enjoy a nice glass of Jagermeister. I never knew it’s made from 56 herbs. When I heard that, I got curious.
There are endless tales of debauchery that start with ¨let’s do some jager shots!¨ This article explains how else to use it.

The nastiest alcohol I’ve ever tasted.
Having been a former coke head and alcoholic, I no longer drink, but this used to be one of my favorites

OK, I’ll just buy ONE bottle then. haha
I’ve never had Brandy. I’ve had bourbon, and it burned all the way down. One time in my life I bought a bottle of dark rum. Funny thing is that I didn’t drink a drop of it. It never occurred to me to drink it. I only used it for flambé! I made bananas foster.
