Worcestershire Sauce = Garum ???
#52
Well, I thought I would report my "tastings" to everyone...I know it isn't a Roman dish, but since the Romans ate garum on many things as a condiment, tonight for dinner I cooked what is known down here as "Hobo Burgers" in the oven (it is a hamburger patty with a slice of potato, onion, and carrots wrapped in tin foil and then baked in the oven), and tried some fish sauce (our modern equivalent of garum) on it. This is the first time I have actually eaten any of the stuff on food, and I was a bit nervous about trying it because it smells rather fishy, but I went ahead and put some on the burger and potatos, and WOW! I was really pleasantly surprised...it is very GOOD...quite delicious. It really compliments the flavor of beef and vegetables, and although it smells fishy, the flavor is very subtle when applied to a food dish. No wonder the Romans liked the stuff so much. I think garum might have gotten a bit of a bad reputation probably from its manufacturing process, but the end result is very good, and shouldn't be knocked until tried! A bottle of it will be included in my kit bag from now on! Big Grin
