That looks uncomfortable as fuck. I always wondered how people ate like that back then.

What did pre Roman Greeks eat??
What about Persians??

Not really ancient but there's this good youtube channel with a guy that makes food from the 18th century.

You can find it by googling 'mushroom ketchup'

Just by Vietnamese fish sauce, it's the same thing.

>STUFFED PUMPKIN FRITTERS

>A DISH OF STUFFED PUMPKIN IS MADE THUS: PEEL AND CUT THE PUMPKIN LENGTHWISE INTO OBLONG PIECES WHICH HOLLOW OUT AND PUT IN A COOL PLACE. THE DRESSING FOR THE SAME MAKE IN THIS WAY: CRUSH PEPPER, LOVAGE AND ORIGANY, MOISTENED WITH BROTH; MINCE COOKED BRAINS AND BEAT RAW EGGS AND MIX ALL TOGETHER TO FORM A PASTE; ADD BROTH AS TASTE REQUIRES. STUFF THE ABOVE PREPARED PIECES OF PUMPKIN THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FULLY COOKED WITH THE DRESSING; FIT TWO PIECES TOGETHER AND CLOSE THEM TIGHT [holding them by means of strings or skewers]. [Now poach them and] TAKE THE COOKED ONES OUT AND FRY THEM. [The proper] WINE SAUCE [for this dish] MAKE THUS: CRUSH PEPPER, LOVAGE MOISTENED WITH WINE, RAISIN WINE TO TASTE, A LITTLE OIL, PLACE IN PAN TO BE COOKED; WHEN DONE BIND WITH ROUX. COVER THE FRIED PUMPKIN WITH THIS SAUCE, SPRINKLE WITH PEPPER AND SERVE.

Wouldn't lying down to eat give you stomach pain?
Also how common was it really to throw up food to eat more? Was bulimia common?

>>1544369
probably not very common as throwing up is unpleasant as fuck.

Apparently the Spartans ate some horrid soup called black stew.

>it's a "Roman dumps Garum all over his fucking food" dish

>>1544504
Just be a tourist

>>1544551
That's exactly what they did, though, and there are some writers from the Roman Imperial period who talk about how everyone's breath stank because of the sauce, much in the same way as garlic.

>>1544369

>Also how common was it really to throw up food to eat more? Was bulimia common?

Very common amongst the Roman upper class, particularly during orgies like the Mediterranean niggers they are

>>1545268
I believe that Roman nobles also belched freely at dinner parties, since it was a display of appreciation for the food. Oh and they would throw their food remains on the floor. In hindsight these parties must have been actually pretty disgusting to witness firsthand if you weren't Roman.

>>1545281
Sounds like paradise to me.

>>1545268
is that why it's called roman shower today?

>>1541535
I remember seeing a few books on medieval food posted on /tg/ as .pdfs, ask them?

Looks very much like it's horse meat.

>>1549017
>Thanks I'm very informed now
Wasn't me tho
>>1548959
>How old?
Very old. Chechens and Ingushs lived high in the Caucasus mountains contained from other nations for a long time, so they needed easy food. This was one of them. Can't tell how old it is desu, but probably "very very" old.
>What is it are those things just boiled dough?
Yeah, its dough
>That's meat right?
Right, cow meat
>What sauce is that?
Garlic sauce, tasted awesome, but leads to smelly breath
>What it taste like?
Its one of my favorite favourite dishes.

>>1549103
Eating horse (meat) is an unforgivable sin for Chechens/Ingush.

>Wouldn't lying down to eat give you stomach pain?
Lying down on your left side is immensely comfortable when you're full, since it doesn't put any pressure on the stomach and straightens the oesophagus, which simplifies eructation.

Which is why the typical dining room of a wealthy Roman household looked something like pic related. Note how all people are lying on their left side.

The illustration that you're referring to is, as you pointed it out already, bullshit.
