Feeding the Roman Army

This is a pretty cool video about how the Roman Army in Britannia kept its soldiers fed.  There's even a recipe for Roman pork with apples that looks pretty yummy. 


If you click "Watch on Youtube" then the recipe is listed in the notes along with links for where to buy obscure ingredients like garum.

    Garum roman fish sauce. Very similar to how it's made in Asia.

    Early method of preserving fish proteins.

    I thought Garum was Worcestershire Sauce? The Englishman who created it was trying to replicate Garum.
