> Beer was also regulated
I remember reading about a process used to test the quality of beer back then...
The beer was poured onto a bench, the brewer, wearing leather lederhosen sat down for some period of time, when he stood up, if the bench stuck to his pants the beer was considered pure.
Sounds good to me.

I love heritage or antique recipes, but I don’t have any that are 600 years old as far as I know. Wow. Here is an English translation of an entire ancient Roman (late 4th or early 5th century AD) cookbook for you.
