Garum

Pompeii Food and Drink Garum

Lately I read several historical novels about Caesar and Cicero – and at some point they all mention Garum – the notorious fish sauce which the old Romans seem to have poured over nearly everything (I understand that it was the ancient ketchup ;-)).
That’s why I wanted to know whether the recipe is still known.
It is.
And if you will excuse me I stick to ketchup.
