    Alessio, be careful what you wish for, because Jessi has learned more about Italy than you know! LOL!!! She has become quite the historian! I love it.

      That was a great video - I really liked how he linked to the modern garum, Colatura di Alici.

    The man would lay on a couch with a bolster under his arm and the table was high enough for ease of reach. In a proper Roman Republic home of the upper class the woman would not recline but sit in a chair. Later on "scandalous" women did recline. 😂 This was a wonderful video and I am glad you enjoyed the foods!

    What a wonderful video! I really enjoyed it so much!! 👏🏼😃 As an ancient historian I really appreciate how well you researched all of this!
    An interesting little fact; carrots in Roman times would have been white, pale yellow or purple (red/black). The orange carrot was ‘created’ in 16th century Holland.

    Jessi & Alessio should show THUMB UP or THUMB DOWN like Ancient Romans at the Colosseum! :) I was required to take two years of Latin in high school! Oh yes! Glad Jessi talked about the Vomitorium! :) When I was a child, I thought the ancient ruins from Greece and Rome were caused by people drinking too much wine becoming drunk and knocking over the buildings walking around drunk! LAUGH OUT LOUD!

    Colatura di Alici is the closest modern day equivalent to garum - I bought some at Eataly and man, it makes delicious pasta sauce! So good!
