'Beef broth' may be ground water

Suspicious "beef broth" was found in several ancient cooking vessels unearthed in a tomb during a recent excavation in Central China's Henan province.

Archaeologists identified bones as the forelimbs of cattle, and guessed that the water in the vessels may have been beef broth.

After the Henan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology released the news online with photos, some netizens jokingly said that the dish was 1,000-year-old beef broth, and predicted that the tomb owner was a foodie.
