Patty from the Past: Ancient Romans 'invented the beef burger' -- and this is their 3,500-year-old recipe

Unless they put it between two pieces of bread they didn’t invent the burger.

No mayo, no onion, no ketchup, no pickle, no lettuce.

It’s not a burger.
It’s meatloaf.

Everyone does!

[SunkenCiv]

I’m stealin’ it, regardless. :^)

Beef patty, beef patty, there on the bun...

"It's a cookbook!"

The writer of the headline had a brain fart. I'm not used to these newfangled unlimited length titles, else I would have included [sic] in there. Or maybe not, because I actually didn't notice the error until LRM pointed it out. :^)

LOL

The Big Bang Theory - Did Chinese invent the sandwich?

(the Tang dynasty? Imagine, a whole dynasty based on drinking instant mix beverages then gettin' laid!)

Check, hold the garum. How about some liquamen?

We’re talking Roma here. It’s a flattened meat-a-ball.

[ApplegateRanch]

In that case Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce should be a close analog.

3500 year old ‘Roman’ recipe? I wonder, just when did the Roman moniker start, in what epoch the Roman Empire began to rise? LOL

Roughly the same. I will still pass.

Do you think the Romans conquered and held most of the then-known world because of, or in spite of, their diet?

[SunkenCiv]

After a century or so of trial and error, intermittent improvements by talented commanders, and ultimately a massively OCD organization initiated and/or reformed by Augustus, the Roman army *was* the Roman Empire. They kept a standing army that (after Augustus) rarely exceeded 280,000 (half of whom were auxiliaries) and yet Roman rule stretched the length of North Africa, and from lowland Scotland to the Persian Gulf during the reign of Trajan, and maintaining (and expanding) that with relatively few troops probably is some kind of record.

HA HA HA!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I'll have the kosher garum on mine.

And can I have columella salad on the side? I have to watch my girlish figure.

[[Alright, but other than that what have the Romans ever done for us?]]

Gave us candles?
