Nec Me Mea Fallit imago

In the Kitchen

6/30/2018

     Today was another Latin day, filled with discussions of ancient art, expanded vocabularies, and lots of translating. The afternoon was filled with play practice and continued progress on the Nuntia and Memoranda projects. After dinner, we went to a local kitchen to cook and eat some traditional ancient foods. We made cucumes cocti (braised cucumbers), lenticula (lentils), moretum (a cheese dip), puls punica (Carthage porridge - similiar to oatmeal), and a sweet feta and honey cheese desert dish served with Wheat Thins. While some dishes were well received by most, others were an acquired taste and appealed to only a few students. Regardless, it was eye opening to taste the new foods and to experience different parts of ancient Roman culture.
     After cooking, we returned to Andrews Hall for a game night planned by the tribunes. Following a friendly round of Mafia, we enjoyed several other games including Monopoly, B.S.,  and Seven Wonders. It was a great way to end not only the day but a week packed full of learning.

I am guessing that is more a (modern?) Greek/Turkish food than an ancient Roman one? I could be wrong of course.
