A woman in the US has a weird hobby that she loves to do. She loves to find cooking recipes on gravestones and cooks them!
Rosie Grant, a student at the University of Maryland’s School of Library and Information Science, interned in the Congressional Cemetery’s archives about a year ago.
Her first venture into the world of cemeteries began when she created a TikTok account and began sharing details about her studies with the internet.
That’s when she discovered that some gravestones has recipes on them. A recipe for cookies, called spritz cookies, was the first recipe she ever made.
The recipe was next to Naomi Miller-Dawson’s grave in Green Wood Cemetery.
The cookies had only 7 ingredients and had no instructions on how to bake them. However, she decided to give it a try. This is when she decided to find more recipes with gravestones.
After that, she decided to go to another gravestone that had a different recipe. She found many gravestone throughout here venture. In another video, she found a gravestone with a recipe for fudge. Next to the grave of Kay Andrews, there was the recipe written on a black tombstone.
She successfully made the recipe stating that it was “a recipe to die for”. Check out her video below!
Rosie told TODAY that, “When we’re in mourning, food is very comforting to us.”
“These recipes feel like a more tactile, all-senses-included way to remember someone rather than only using your memory.”
