Still sounds better than the garum wine, or whatever the fuck Apicius was going to do with all those bird tongues.
Who doesn’t like their wine with a little fermented fish tang to it?
Now, fetch the dormouse, we have dinner guests to impress!
Honestly I don’t like wine to start with. Crucify me, I guess - although I suppose I’ve only had it the barbarian way undiluted.
On your title, were Punic people known for a lot of food taboos? Given their common origin with Iudea I guess that would make sense.
Not to my knowledge, but the Romans stereotyped Punics as cowardly (amongst other vices, because Romans loved slander), so I took on the shame of Punic-ness for my lack of bravery 😔
Just douse it in garum like a true son of Rome.
I’m down, what’s the recipe?
Unfortunately, I made this meme a while ago and lost the book when I was moving. It was in “The Classical Cookbook: Revised Edition” though!
Thank you, I will see if I can find a copy!
I want to know! Do it! Do it! Do it!
