Many years ago I saw a Japanese TV program that explored the food of southern Taiwan and one of the stops was a restaurant that had a 106-year old vat of broth. It was tall and narrow and had a giant hump of crust on one side.<p>If it's still open, it would be going for 130+ years at this point.
Perpetual stew: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_stew" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_stew</a>
One of the speculations as to how life was created on this planet: stable environments hosting hydrothermal vents over long periods of time.<p>Could perpetual stews over decades act in the same manner?

I've seen this done for a few years (2-3?) but only in a crockpot sized container, honestly still tasted alright. Not sure I'd have a full bowl of stew 52 but seems [great] for fermenty-salty dipping sauce like saltwater.
Is this like how Italian families sometimes a forever pot of tomato sauce continuously on a low heat on their stoves?
I'm currently in bangkok atm. where can I go try this soup?

Long time since reviews on the internet mattered one squat. Reviews can be because of everything from a jealus competitor, the platform asking the restaurant to pay to unblock favorable reviews/remove unfavorable ones, doing the opposite when you don't pay, or simple a bunch of people who basically fill the web with junk.<p>More often than not I have a great experience in restaurants with 2-3 out of 5 in ratings, and shit experiences with restaurants with 4-5/5 ratings, I've simply stopped reading reviews at all, anything with numbers on the internet is basically fuddled with nowadays.
I discovers this 10 years ago with Yelp. I refused to pay, but still kept an account linked to Faceboook. When I deleted that account, apparently Yelp knew that and released some old negative reviews that previously had been hidden. One review was filled with lies, and I never had the chance to see it (much less respond to it) when I still had the account. That was the day that I learned what legal online extortion looks like.
City-level reddit subs have a fair idea where to avoid, I find.
Its on Ekkamai rd, "Wattana Panich"
*52 years concentrated heavy metal soup.
The grime around the pot convinced me they’re telling the truth about 52 years :)
[dead]
Disgusting.
