Philistine?


Thank you?


Heck we made our Roux from scratch butter/flour and hand cut every other veggie other than tomatoes.....while in Summer I have bushels of Tomatoes on the vine in garden, not so much so in February in Seattle.

So Yes, I'm a Philistine if that is derogatory in some sorts (never heard that word before this?) , I have made my own home brew beer in 20 gallon batches, meh. So show me the way roux boy.


Culture and religion

Philistine culture was almost fully integrated with that of Canaan and the Canaanites. The deities they worshipped were Baal, Astarte, and Dagon, whose names or variations thereof appear in the Canaanite pantheon as well.[2]
The Philistines were also renowned for both their production and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Numerous finds have exposed a well-managed spirits industry, from breweries and wineries to retail outlets that advertised beer, wine, and strong drink. Among the most numerous artifacts unearthed from Philistine ruins are beer mugs and wine craters (large drinking bowls). The story of Samson's wedding feast alludes to the Philistine practice of engaging in week-long drinking parties, as the Hebrew word mishkeh, translated as "strong drink" in Judges 14:10, indicates a "drinking feast."[21]
