Tastes of the Past
TASTES OF THE PAST, ENJOYMENT OF THE PRESENT
What did hunters enjoy in the times before Christ and with what did Roman warriors toast their victories? What kind of food was laden on castle and bourgeois tables in the past, and which delicacies were associated with the modesty of everyday life in the past?
