World's oldest soup

From the BBC:
Chinese archaeologists have unearthed what they believe is a 2,400-year-old pot of soup, state media report.
Interesting, but no prizes.  The world's oldest soup was discovered by myself in a British Rail buffet at Crewe in 1983.

Lentil, I think.

Bursley Hall cafeteria, University of Michigan, 1991. I think I've got you beat by a few years, and would be willing to stake a glass of beer on the outcome of a radiocarbon test.
