It might be full of Garum. Which is gross even if it was still “fresh”.

No "might" about it. From the article: "Initial tests have found pickled fish, which was often used to create a sauce called garum."

Mmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm. I'm thinking of going to Olive Garden for lunch and asking for their rotted fish gut sauce instead of tomato sauce.

Garum? Isn’t that the island that Congressman Hank Johnson was worried about tipping over? ;-)

Garum sounds exactly like Vietnamese Nuoc Mam.
And don’t knock it unless you’ve actually tried it.
