Weirdest Foods From Ancient Roman Cuisine

Which one of these foods would you be willing to eat?

[@Ivander85]

I have tried brains and sea urchin but it's really nothing I need to have again. I'm sure dolphin meat isn't bad if you leave out ethical reasons. Wouldn't ever order it though lol.

Brain certainly tastes good with some nutty flavor. I usually ate it with mixed with scrambled eggs. But blood pudding/blood sausage is still very popular and common in many places and also available in the variety with pieces of cow tongue.

All the worst roads lead to Rome. The soon coming economic crash, climate change "emergencies" aka great reset/Build Back better/NWO all to enforce SUNday law = mark of beast. The papacy is the antichrist/1st beast in Daniel 7, Rev 13, 17 and 18. The papal bishops and cardinals both wear the colors of the harlot: scarlet and purple. Rome is The city on 7 hills. The papacy changed the 10 commandments of God in their own "Bibles" acting as if they are God on this earth. The papacy murdered many innocent lives 50million+ in the dark ages, colloseum as sport all because those people chose to follow Jesus instead of the papacy. The pope calls himself the title of "Holy father" when ALL know that title only belongs to God the father. The papacy promotes useless worship of idols(Amazonian pagan gods, the dead: Mary, Peter; baby Jesus who we all know grew up defeated death on the cross and is interceding for us right now in the heavenly sanctuary). The papacy promotes satans counterfeit "holy day" SUNday, a pagan day of sun worship from pagan Babylon. Pagan rome has become papal rome. The papacy claims SUNday is their mark of authority and no where in the Bible is SUNday keeping backed. God's seal and mark of authority is the 7th day sabbath(Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) established at Eden for ALL humanity to keep Holy. Read Genesis 2:1-3. God is calling His people to come out of spiritual Babylon = papacy and their daughter "churches" in every denomination who follow the teachings of the papacy which includes SUNday keeping madness. Already the pope, world leaders are calling for institution of false rest day, SUNday in their countries. Prince Charles, Bill Gates, Charles Schwab, Joe Biden have shown their full support of the pope and his SUNday promotion which the pope claims will directly address climate change, and the spread of virus. NWO/Build Back better/climate change/Great reset is all code for the promotion of satan's counterfeit Sunday. Most of Europe already has a SUNday law, many Caribbean nations and latin American nations are on the verge of doing this. It is only when the USA enacts this unconstitutional SUNday law = mark of the beast will God's judgements in the form of the 7 last plagues from Rev 16 be released on ALL who accept SUNday law. Many will NOT receive the seal of God because they polluted God's Holy sabbath, the 7th day Sabbath by working on the sabbath and keeping satans counterfeit SUNday. This whole battle between Good vs evil has always been about worship: Jesus and His teachings to love God which includes keeping the 7th day sabbath/God's seal His mark of authority and to love your neighbor as yourself vs Satan and all his false teachings including Sunday "rest day" from pagan Babylon.

It's not a big mystery where the giraffe bone came from. Rome routinely receive exotic animals through trade from Nubia and the Axum Empire. Not to mention that the Romans launched several expeditions into west and central Africa one going to Lake Chad. Which they called the lake of elephant and hippopotamus. They brought back a two horned rhinoceros which caused a sensation in Rome to the point that the Roman Emperor minted coin depicting the image of the two horned rhinoceros. Also an African king from the Swahili Coast gifted a giraffe to the Emperor of China and it caused a sensation there.

It's interesting to see what people consider as "weird food." Jellyfish and sea urchin I would say are pretty standard for me, if not just indifferent items if I see them on a menu. In fact, sea urchin (uni) is one of my favorite things to eat at sushi bars. Inuit people have also eaten whale for their entire existence, which are cetaceans like dolphins. Any kind of fermentation is typical for me to see around, and blood sausages/pudding have numerous variations across many, many cultures. It's still interesting to see though, because it seemed like the Roman higher ups focused more on presentation and the rarest sourced items than taste (ie, giraffe, peacock, flamingos, etc). Very fun video!

Fun Fact: Here in Colombia we have something called Rellena (in Britain it is called Black pudding) we do it the almost same way, but the recipe has changed because ours has rice in it too. And it's such tasty food. It is not disgusting. We promise!!😂

[@sharleenehurst4250]

I will bet it is good with rice. The Brits put too much nutmeg in theirs, but the Polish version is good. I would love to try the Columbian version. New Hampshire is not exactly a foodie wonderland though. They only have about 4 or 5 kinds of restaurants here and keep putting in the same kinds over and over again.

This is why food history is my favorite genre. Because it details the true day to day life of everyone and their interactions with the world; since it always involves the trade or cultivation of food. The development of cuisine follows social class structure for example.

Ostrich is really yummy. We still eat it in Kenya. It is luxury meat, but we have a place called the Ostrich Farm where you can eat ostrich meat and eggs. You also get to ride one if you would like

[@sharleenehurst4250]

We have some ostrich farms in America. It can be bland, like chicken, but it is a good meat. Alligator is also good. We farm them here. Some people eat nutria in the American Bayou, but I don't eat small mammals. Nutria are getting to be a problem and are invasive, so I don't blame the people for doing so. When I was young, the American buffalo was almost extinct. No one would have ever thought of eating one, and there were strict laws against even killing one. I never thought I would see one in my life time. Now there are buffalo farms from New England to California, they are off the endangered list and you can buy buffalo meat in supermarkets. The types of food that people know about today is vastly different than what we knew 50 years ago.

Having lived in a place where rural, natural pork was quite common, that blood pudding actually sounds pretty good.

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

"Black pudding", made from pig's blood, barley, spice and probably other things, is a reasonably commonly eaten food in the UK. It's a delicious savoury "sausage" that you slice up about ⅛" thick and fry on either side till the reddish brown sausage turns black. (Remove the plastic that it comes in first lol!) It's especially good as part of a hefty "British breakfast", as opposed to the croissant and coffee of a "continental breakfast". It contains bacon, fried egg, pork sausage, black pudding, fried bread or toast, mushrooms, baked beans and/or tomatoes (it's all down to personal taste as to what's in it. Those are all the possibilities that I can think of. Some people _might_ fry onion, but I haven't seen it). Anyway, if you've got a physically demanding job, such a hearty meal will get you through to lunchtime!

If anyone is grossed out by the condiment garum made from fish guts, you'll be unhappy to know you've probably eaten it if you've ever had English food made with Worcestershire sauce like shepherd's pie, or kimchi, or southeast Asian food with fish sauce like pad thai or curry. It smells absolutely disgusting but it's somehow delicious in the completed dish. They actually still have fish sauce in Italy; it's called Colatura di alici (fish drippings).

@@Innomenatus Depends on the region. The Lacandon are genetically different from the Seri people along the northern coast of the mainland Gulf of California. Two groups of people localized in Mexico, but genetically, they’re as if one were European and the other were Chinese. You understand? The greatest cluster of Latin ancestry in Mexico would be found closer to their capital cities, where the Spanish colonizers had set up establishments with the greater purpose of expanding the empire. Within the geographical map of Mexico, the genetic makeup changes from region to region. So for me to say, that the average Mexican citizen likely has a deeper root to their indigenous ancestors, it isn’t a slight. It’s simply the results of the genetic research done within the Country by the University of Fresno back in 2014.
