Hey-Stefan and Ras [and everybody else] a couple of recipes
from the other list.
I figure this way I only have to do 11 forewarding and
everybody gets it. I like the idea of globi, if we can get
the documentation on it it would be a neat sort of thing to
add to the sausage bisquick balls for lacto-veggans

Ingredients for Cato's must cakes (Mustacea): flour (Cato uses spelt), grape
juice, anise, cumin, bay leaves. Make up a standard bread mix using grape
juice instead of water - (use yeast because, although he doesn't mention it,
he probably assumed some form of leaven such as a piece of yesterday's
dough, which was the usual. Not many people would have this now, so I don't
think using yeast is cheating too much). I tend to use red grape juice as
this adds colour as well, but white is just as good. Add about 1 teaspoon of
both anise and cumin to the mixture - use more or less as you prefer. (There
are no hard and fast rules about quantities). Let it rise, then afterwards
shape into rounds, and bake on top of bay leaves. (Remove the leaves before
eating, obviously). They taste delicious - I hope you agree.

What about trying Roman doughnuts? Also from Cato, they are called 'globi'
in Latin - not quite so appealing, but they taste great. Make up a dough
from about 1 cup flour (he says spelt, but use what you've got), and 1/4 cup
grated cheese (I use a fairly mild cheddar, but do experiment). Again, use
yeast, as it works better if you do. Let the dough rise, then shape into
small balls, and fry in hot oil (olive oil is the most authentic). When
nicely browned, take out and coat in honey, and sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Happy eating!!

Carol.
