By coincidence, I'm going offline to continue reading a book about Herculaneum. :')

I have a video somewhere, showing a researcher talking about this garum discovery; he remarks that the samples still have a mild fish smell to them. :') Nice that this research verifies the date of the eruption -- since it's the only surviving eyewitness account, and if memory serves, the *only* surviving account from antiquity of any volcanic eruption per se (the Periplus of Hanno merely records the eruption of Mount Cameroon, without saying what it was).

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Sadly, the fish entrails were found to have originated in China and as all food items from there, were highly toxic. Six scientists succumbed before the WHO could properly quarantine the area.

I’ve got an old bottle of fish sauce that smells like it came from the Pompeii eruption.
