Ancient Roman Architecture is exemplified by round arches and domes, collonades, porticoes, etc...

You want a recipe from De re Coquinaria by Apicius?

[fiore@brain.worm.pink]

@technicallydifficult sure

[technicallydifficult@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore

I could get up and thumb through the book, or I could just recall the recipe I like from memory. You want sweet or savory?

[technicallydifficult@brain.worm.pink]

@fiore

Aliter Dulcia

tear fine wheat bread into chunks, soak it in milk, press out the excess lightly, fry it in olive oil until golden, drizzle with honey and black pepper or pipali (Romans would have used pipali, but black pepper will work)

@fiore

that's the sweet one^^

This is my favorite one that is savory, turns out this is from a Roman cookbook I don't have in my posession.

Moratum:

in a mortar, grind sesame, garlic, olive oil, onion, chickpeas... add garum, vinegar, salt, and parsley, cumin, herbs according to your preference.

(this is basically 2000 years old hummus. Mutabal eggplant paste is also a type of moratum)
