Could be spiced wine as a pick-me-up with herbs and spices that made one more awake or more calm etc., this has been done in a lot of cultures when people needed prolonged energy.

Five Hour Energy Wine?

The Colosseum scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Seems like badger spleens and otter noses were a popular snack...

Could be, could be.

Lentils made great packing material for spirited Egyptian artifacts about 1800 years later. Until then, unlike now with corn, they knew the value of food.

Possibly, but it was also covered in the BBC/Discovery series Ancient Inventions with Terry Jones of Monty Python fame. The episode City Life.

Available on YouTube. Recommend watching.

Did the Roman Empire also have ancient food activists warning people that the thermopolia were selling them poison?

Salt Cod was a staple in my house when I grew up in Boston-——Mom was from Nova Scotia so I always assumed it came from there.

Hey, Pseudolus, give me a salt fish and glass of spiced wine.

You want fries with that?
