Ancient “Italian” Food

This pasta is made from colatura di alci. It’s made from anchovies and based on an ancient Roman sauce called garum. It’s very similar to fish sauce in asian food.

Human excrement is another rich source of knowledge. One of the most exciting recent discoveries in food archaeology came in 2011 when ten tonnes of preserved shit was found in a cesspit at Herculaneum, a town south of Naples that was preserved, along with Pompeii, when Vesuvius erupted in 79.

:poop: analysis.
