[Sca-cooks] melca, Roman curdled milk

[Stefan li Rous]

Anahita mentioned:
>  And melca, the Roman food, was made by putting a little
> vinegar into warm milk and letting it curdle, sort of like yogurt.
Huh? Perhaps I'm just mistaken, but I don't remember us discussing this 
"melca" before. I don't find anything about it in the Florilegium. So, 
can you give us more details on this? Perhaps even some quotes or 
translations where the Romans speak of this?
