Note 1: Gudgeon is actually a freshwater fish, I mistakenly placed Gudgeon in the saltwater fish category.
Note 2: Dolphins are mammals but I included them in the fish category for the sake of convenience.

Halfway in to the video it seems like modern french cuisine is a mirror of ancient roman cuisine. Fois gras, snails with garlic.
Great video. The Romans had a great variety of foods avaliable. I have always wondered about what they had, a lot seemed very modern.
very enjoyable program
Great vid, very thorough, thanks. One thing though : there’s no such thing as an electric moray eel. There’s no moray eel that is electric, some types of other eels can be electric.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!

For great food history videos,, check out the channel"tasting history with Max Miller". He actually made garum...twice!
Interesting, thank you.
As someone who has raised rabbits, I have to ask, HOW THE HELL DO YOU MILK A RABBIT?
YEEEES THE BEST INFOOOOOO
great job! My only critique though is that you left out Rosemary from the herb list! It's still a critical component of the cuisine local to modern Rome today!

Thanks! Yes, I did not include all the herbs in the list because they were too many. However, I did mention rosemary in specific recipes.
I dont know how recent this Video is BUT There is an archeologist who has been searching for the plant Sylphium! In ancient times, there was a Greek city that used to grow the plant. It's quite possible that he may have found it growing wild in mountains type region. The Romans tried to grow and cultivate it. It never grew. Its an interesting subject..thats why i know about it, Garum also.😅

Yes, it was the Greek city of Cyrene, located in modern Libya. This is why the Romans called it Silphium Cyrenaicum. However, it has been extinct for 2,000 years now.

rabbit milk?? 😀
He did not miss rosemary
what did the ancient holy roman empire and prussia eat? is there?
Their cuisine was so confusing, some of it looks quite delectable, while some of it is just beyond disgusting!
That Roman food looks highly appropriate for Diabetic IIs and Is. That's exactly the kind of food that the doctors struggle to convince diabetics to limit themselves.
damn they ate good lol
In spanish please .

Hello, sadly I do not know Spanish in order to translate my English text. However, you can activate the auto-translate in the subtitles from English (United Kingdom) to Spanish. At least in this video, it is pretty accurate.
