Ok, I'm seeking At least one maybe more.. a Roman coin with the depiction of the (now extinct)
Silphium plant. Kind of looks like fennel plant on the backs of the coins I've seen in pictures.
https://www.worldhistory.org/image/5893/coin-from-cyrene-showing-silphium-plant/
Otherwise a Roman coin depicting any vegetable, Fish or Pig, boar, sow etc will do!
Alternatively: An ancient coin from Calabria is good also.
Please let me know if you have anything that may fit the request.
I'm short on time to search so asking this community for help in finding a good match!
This is for a tasting for a new job position. I'm cooking an Ancient Roman themed tasting and if the chef/owner likes it, I get the job. The coin(s) will be sewn into the leather menu cover as a token and the Silphium is going to be a sauce so it ties together the theme.
Let me know what you have!
what did Peasant in Holy Roman Empire ate during renaissance.Is it different than modern German Cuisine
That's been something I've been wondering for a while. One of my favorite channels on YouTube is Historical Italian Cooking (very no-nonsense channel name, by the way - much appreciated!) and I've watched all of their videos (I'm surprised they're not mentioned more often on this sub). They're fantastic (mainly because they draw from and are faithful to the original recipes from millennia ago and present things in a very informative, simple, and straightforward way), but it's made me wonder - most of these foods are simple enough and don't require too much preparation (in comparison to say, modern French cuisine) or wacky ingredients that are no longer available to us. Why hasn't someone opened a restaurant dedicated to that cuisine?
I mean, people generally enjoy trying new cuisines (so long as it isn't too far out of the norm, which I'd say Roman and Medieval European cuisine certainly isn't) and I think a restaurant serving Ancient Roman food would be quite a hit. Open it as one of those fancy joints or a themed restaurant or something. The novelty and uniqueness of it would probably allow it to do pretty well and become financially successful, methinks (think of it as a bit like Benihana in terms of its novelty and uniqueness - something that most other restaurants can't/don't offer).
What I'd like to know is do restaurants serving ancient cuisines actually exist? And if not, why don't they exist? Is it due to lack of awareness or interest on the part of chefs and restauranteurs? Is it cost?
P.S. I can't be the only one who'd love to dine in a restaurant serving ancient Roman cuisine in an authentic fashion (you know, laying down on couches, things of that nature).
Were there Gallic restaurants in Rome? Did new food stuffs make it into every day Roman life due to a conquest?
I guess what I am asking is if the movement of peoples within the empire brought cuisine from the far-flung reaches of the empire back to what is now central Italy, or if Romans still basically only had access to the recipes and foods native to that region.
Are there any restaurants that have mostly ancient roman cuisine, both high class and lower class food on the menu? Or any other ancient/classical cuisines, either Persian, Egyptian or Chinese?
Ciao!
I just came back from a weeklong trip to Rome, and I am sad and already missing the food.
Any recommendations for good restaurant focusing on quintessential Roman food in Chicago?
Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Amatriciana are obvious choices, but things like Trippa alla romana and any of the artichoke dishes would be amazing.
Grazie mille, r/chicagofood!
In case it isn't clear, I am talking about "Italian" as it is today... pasta, basil, garlic, marinara sauce... etc..
Italy is known for its cuisine, especially the use of some form of pasta in many dishes. Since the Roman Empire started off in today's Italy, how similar were the Roman eating habits.
Cooking's come a long way since then and they didn't have anything like peppers or tomatoes so it seems like their food would have been a lot milder/blander and have less variety
What types of dishes constitute the traditional cuisine of the city of Rome? What dishes were consumed by different social classes? How has Roman cuisine affected that of contemporary Italy?
Romans abroad came to Rome and told tales of the fruits of other nations. One story was the popularity of a fruit down in North Africa, in Cyrene. Roman merchants enjoyed what the people of Cyrene called apples.
Closer to home, Gulgean and Roman merchants, especially near the border enjoyed pears.
The wealthy of the Republic wish to grow this crop in the Republic's borders, and send envoys to each of the nations.
I was looking into how European cuisine has shifted so much since the 1500s, which eventually led to this question. I did not want to make the question too specific, as I am not sure how much information on the topic exists. So be as specific as general as you wish! And thank you for your responses, I really enjoy reading the posts of the subreddit.
Bonjour à tous, j’écris un peu pour me libérer car je commence à réaliser et à 3 heures du mat´, impossible de dormir…c’est un peu long désolé mais je crois que ça vaut la peine d’avoir le cheminement.
Pour commencer je voudrais remercier le service des urgences de Romans-sur-Isère (26), souvent critiqués mais qui ont été fantastiques de par leur prise en charge et de leur gentillesse avec ma compagne. Aussi ma chérie, qui a deux doigts d’y passer continue de minimiser et de faire des blagues sans jamais se plaindre (caractéristique de la cuve en acier inoxydable de la Yaute savoyarde).
14 décembre 2021: il est 8 heure du mat’ et comme d’hab je glandouille après 3 snooze en lisant quelques articles sur Reddit. Pendant ce temps, ma copine à son habitude, prend sa douche avant que mon tour ne vienne et que je sois à la bourre (comme tous les matins). Soudain, un bruit énorme se fait entendre comme si le meuble de la salle de bain venait de se casser la gueule. Mais aucune réaction de la part de ma copine. En 1/2 seconde je réalise que le bruit…c’est elle. Je saute du lit, me précipite à la salle de bain et la trouve par terre dans la douche à moitié consciente. Je coupe l’eau, m’assure qu’elle m’entende, regarde ses yeux, demande une réponse et elle reprend ses esprits toute de suite mais vraiment choquée. Elle veut lever, me dit « aide moi ». Je l’aide et la relève précautionneusement et là de nouveau elle part (je vois ses yeux qui se retournent et je le retrouve avec tout son poids mort). Je la retiens pour ne pas qu’elle tombe et la place en PLS. Je vais chercher mon téléphone et toutes les serviettes qui traînent pour l’installer. J’hésite à appeler le 112 dès à présent mais elle me dit que tout vas bien quand je reviens et qu’elle a juste mal à l’épaule; elle veut s’asseoir. Je l’extirpe de la douche avec précaution et la pause sur une chaise que je place à côté de la douche. Je la sèche et tout va « bien ». Elle me répète qu’elle a juste mal à l’épaule, sûrement le choc. Qu’elle ne pouvait plus tenir debout car une douleur intense lui a traversé l’épaule mais qu’elle n’a pas perdu connaissance. Je prends la journée de télétravail et je reste avec elle à la maison au cas où et je m’occupe d’elle (installe, surveille, boîte manger).
La journée passe, et ça va. Elle a mal partout au coté gauche et à l’épaule mais aucun bleu se déclare. Bon, contusion interne ? On passe la nuit et on regarde demain ? Ok.
15 décembre 2021 : JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE
... keep reading on reddit ➡Buna :-)
I want to take my mom to a nice restaurant in Bucharest. I’ve been looking at various sites, but I’m still a bit in doubt. I’d say the budget is around 300 lei p/p +-, but I’m open for more if it is very special
I’ve been looking at The Artist, but their website is horrible, however I guess that’s the first choice at the moment. It doesn’t have to be traditional Romanian - a modern interpretation of Romanian cuisine is okay however. Sunt jumate roman, deci mancam destul traditional, si dupa craciun cred ca e okay sa mancam si alt ceva.
I’ve also looked at Kaiamo, but read somewhere it’s 250 euros? Their website sucks as well, honestly, I just want to see the menu. Anyways, I’d prefer places with fixed menus.
Craciun fericit!
