THE ROMANS DIDN’T RECYCLE!!! THE ROMANS DIDN’T RECYCLE!!!
That’s REALLY what destroyed their empire...

I’m not usually picky about food, as long as it is natural and not processed-but when my husband was in the military, I was friends with another military wife who was from Thailand-she was fond of serving kimchee, fermented soybean curd and that awful fish sauce every time she had dinner guests. My husband liked all three items-but I could never even get past the smell-I would not let him bring any of it into the house, ever...
It does sound similar and just as horrible-according to historians, the Romans used “fish sauce” on just about everything, too...

Boy, they didn't have recycling centers and amphorae laws back then. Litterbugs... I guess they didn't have 'Keep Rome Beautiful' campaign either. 😊

No they moved because another region gave the business a tax break... 😊

The ancient Romans imported crap from ancient Greece.
The modern Romans import crap from modern Greece.
I guess nothing changes in the Old World.

It was the hallmark of McCaesar fast food company. It was the special sauce of their 'BigBrutus' burger. 😊

Some of the amphorae were used to transport "garum", a smelly sauce made from fermented fish blood and intestines that the Romans relished as a condiment.Sounds like the same stuff that Michael Moore uses instead of cologne.

Fermented anything cures acid reflux and indigestion, for a peaceful nights sleep.
They knew what they were doing.

that awful fish sauce...I believe it was Muocnam sauce, but it didn’t have labels to read. I sorta liked it with Tobasco.

“...if they just could have paired that with Heron’s steam engine they might have had an industrial revolution.”
They didn’t have the math. It took Newton and others to get that figured out...and then things took off like a rocket (including rockets!).

I find it a bit amusing that a somewhat recent cookbook of ancient Roman dishes was penned by a couple with the last name Brothwell. But I have a low threshold of humor.
