Thanks Waggs.

Lionel Casson mentions that disreputable restaurants sometimes substituted human flesh -- which at times was plentiful -- for pork, which was often scarce and expensive. The flavor is so similar (it says here) as to be indistinguishable (other than the fact that the human flesh would be much fresher).

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

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

Lionel Casson was my prof for Classics back at NYU. Best perfessor I ever had.
