A historical recipe

Cookery and Dining in Imperial Rome, by Apicius. Project Gutenberg eBook #29728.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Associated with Ancient Roman by the book is about Ancient Roman cookery (Cooking, Roman -- Early works to 1800); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.
