Interesting article and great reading list. Thanks, SunkenCiv!
Now, if I read that correctly, I am going to need to do more research on cheese made from pig’s milk.
Their cuisine sounds really yummy. And no mention of garum!
Oinker milk... not that you mention it, I don't believe I've ever seen any. :^) Cheese was a brilliant, and probably quite early, method of food preservation; keeping pigs domestically has probably been dated, I'll have to look into that...
Fermented fish sauce was developed by maritime peoples, perhaps they did have it, good catch! Get it, catch...
LOL!
The longest Etruscan inscription is in Zagreb, Croatia--the Zagreb mummy wrapping, or liber linteus, more than 1000 words long. They have in a special climate-controlled room.
I’m a little surprised we don’t have a topic on it, I was actually sure we did — perhaps it was in one of those “old school” topics that eventually got purged ten years ago, after having been disabled for comments a little while before I started posting here. Its discovery is a good reason to use a non-invasive scanning technology on all known mummies.
