Key facts and history
Stews have been prepared since ancient times.[1] A Jomon pot from about 5000 BC is associated with this early stew.[2] The Jomon pot suggests Japan may be the birthplace of stew.[2] The Roman cookbook Apicius, from the 4th century AD, includes recipes for pork and fish stews.[3]
The French cookbook Le Viandier, written in the early 14th century by chef Taillevent, contains ragouts or stews.[3] During the Jomon period, around 5000 BC, Japan yielded the oldest known stew evidence globally.[1] Seasonal changes influenced the ingredients of seafood stews prepared by Jomon people.[1]
What the cited sources add
The "Jomon pot" source states that Japan appears to be the birthplace of the soup and the stew.[2] The same source reports that the Jomon pot is made around 5000 BC.[2]
