I know the thread got a little hung up on garum there, but I still think there's got to be a huge list of foodstuffs we can compile as 'acceptable camp rations'.<br>
<br>
Apples and other fresh fruits<br>
Dried fruits (apricots, raisins ...)<br>
Bread (round loaves)<br>
Cheese (not yellow .. hard or soft?)<br>
Bacon<br>
Sausages<br>
Cooked Lentils<br>
Various beans<br>
<br>
EDIT: Just remembered boiled eggs and olives - although the latter is doubtful for us legionnaries stuck in damp Britannia<br>
<br>
Anything else? Obviously Roman cookery stretches to alot more, but it's what you can carry around for your packed luch I'm interested in in this thread.<br>
