...that we know of. Sorry to sound snarky, but the science of ancient culinary
language is not that exact. I don't think they had it, but if they did, we
might just overlook it on the assumption that some kind of apple or citron
was being referenced in the one spot.
Among Roman army reenactors, the phrase for things like this is NYX - Not Yet
eXcavated. Etiquette says, don't do it, but don't be all shocked once they
find it, either :-)
