Quote:I hope it works and is delicious to all of you! I've only tried the bread thus far and pulled out every topping I could imagine, onlives by FAR were the best side/addition to the bread
I tried it with 'soft cheese with garlic and herbs' (care of Tesco) - closest I could get to authentic moretum at short notice! It worked extremely well as a topping, although my bread turned out rather dense and heavy. Although that itself might be more historically appropriate.

How exactly would Roman bread have been eaten? The wedges cut from the traditional wheel loaf make for very chunky sandwiches and I assume that would be anachronistic anyway.

Worcestershire sauce seems closer to the original Asian ketchups, in that they are a mix of ingredients for flavour with the fish sauce providing a salty distinctive base. I think Thai fish sauces like Nam Pla are closer to the original garum, although I've not been brave enough to try them in anything other than a stir fry so far.
