Giorgo Locatelli has done a video for the British Museum on how to bake a loaf of bread akin to the carbonized one found in Herculaneum. Notice the carry string around its waist and the bakery stamp. That's some marketing!

Re: How to Bake Roman Bread
Years ago, I lived within easy reach of the British Museum. Fascinating place.

Re: How to Bake Roman Bread
That just is really very cool. (and convenient with the carry string...)

Reminds me of Dwarf Bread from the Discworld.

"The dwarf bread was brought out for inspection. But it was miraculous, the dwarf bread. No one ever went hungry when they had some dwarf bread to avoid. You only had to look at it for a moment, and instantly you could think of dozens of things you'd rather eat. Your boots, for example. Mountains. Raw sheep. Your own foot."SpellArcher wrote:Reminds me of Dwarf Bread from the Discworld.

"The general has this to say about ensuring against defeat when outnumbered, out–weaponed and outpositioned. It is... Don't Have a Battle."
