THE MENU THE DEBT TO PLEASURE IN ROME SOMETHING LIKE SQUIRREL WAS AT THE TOP

Tom Holland. Rubicon, Ch 7  The Debt To Pleasure


Substitute squirrel for dormouse:
 
SULPICIUS: dormice: stuff the dormice with minced pork as well as the flesh from all of the dormouse’s limbs, together with ground pepper, pine nuts, laser and liquamen and place them sewn up on a clay tile in the oven or cook them in a roasting pan.
 
Liquamen or garum is a fermented fish sauce and almost universal condiment that served roughly the same function in the Roman cuisine as salt in ours. Laser or silphium was a, now extinct, Roman spice or herb thought to be similar to asafoetida.
