Can't find a reliable restaurant for boiled parrot? Have a hankering for jellyfish omelettes, sows' wombs in brine, sheep's brain pate, or stuffed mice? Look no further than \u003ci\u003eAround the Roman Table\u003c\/i\u003e, a unique hybrid cookbook and history lesson. A portrait of Roman society from the vantage point of the dining table, kitchen, and market stalls, \u003ci\u003eAround the Roman Table\u003c\/i\u003e offers both an account of Roman eating customs and 150 recipes reconstructed for the modern cook. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFaas guides readers through the culinary conquests of Roman invasions--as conquerors pillaged foodstuffs from faraway lands--to the decadence of Imperial Rome and its associated table manners, dining arrangements, spices, seasonings, and cooking techniques. With recipes for such appetizing dishes as chicken galantine with lambs' brains and fish relish, \u003ci\u003eAround the Roman Table\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for food aficionados who wish to understand how the desire for power and conquest was manifested in Roman appetites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"There are many misconceptions about the food of ancient Rome that Faas sets out to correct. The result is half cookbook, half history book and is entirely fascinating to both chef and antiquarian alike.\"--\u003ci\u003eWashington Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Faas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226233472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226233475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Patrick Faas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994821001471,"sku":"9780226233475","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0bac9757-1bc8-4dab-b2c5-31f27779bc23.jpg?v=1683332373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/around-the-roman-table-patrick-faas-9780226233475","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
