The world is a better place for having people willing to plunge so enthusiastically into such research tangents! 😂 No need to apologise for the lack of definitive answer; I very much enjoyed the ride
this was so much fun to read! I love learning about little pieces of everyday life and culture from history, and this was such a lovely example :) thank you for sharing!!
This sounds like an ancient ancestor of one of my fav childhood dishes - Bulgarian mekitsi. Similarly, it’s yummy fried dough, either plain or stuffed with feta cheese; then eaten with raw honey or some homemade fruit jam. Ugh, now I’m hungry!! Great article! :D
Ahh how lovely, I thank you greatly for your endeavours - the food of the ancients is such an interesting topic I rarely come across I'm so glad you decided to pursue the idea! And how timely significant what with the modern Olympics closing (as well as the episode of Great British Bakeoff I was just watching..)
the endeavours were fun, and I thank you greatly for the comment you left on my note the other day that inspired them! my mind was set whirring straight after. and wow, what coincidental timing!
