[Sca-cooks] Re: ancient Roman cookery

[Aurelia Coritana]

Thank you so much for the welcome and the wealth of
information. I don't tend to use a lot of garum
myself, but it got quite a response on this list!

Currently I am planning a Roman feast for a group of
reenactors. I will share my recipes if anyone else
would like them!

I don't remember how many first-hand accounts are in
this file, but  
you still might find it interesting:
garum-msg         (55K)  8/22/04    Roman fish sauces
made from  
fermented fish.
                                        Also includes
comments on  
liquamen.

These other files on Roman food might be of interest
as well:
fd-Romans-msg     (15K)  7/ 1/05    Food of Classical
Rome. Apicius.
Roman-Recipes-art (19K)  5/31/00    Some recipes from
"Anthimus' _De
                                        Obseruatione
Ciborum_" by  
Adamantius.
cb-rv-Apicius-msg (46K)  1/23/05    Reviews of

And since you specifically mentioned Romano-British,
there is this
