Last weekend my reenactment group was invited to attend a Roman Feast, to be hosted by another group. There were only two of us in attendance, due to the 2-year-old falling ill, but it was a lovely evening with some incredible food. And we were able to catch up with a couple of members who have recently joined the Australian Costumers Guild as well.
This is the list of food that we enjoyed (as per the menu):
- Fresh Fruit
- Ovis Hapalis - Soft-Boiled Eggs in Pine-Nut Sauce
- Dulcia Domestica - Stuffed Dates
- Vitella fricta: Fried Veal Escalope with Raisins
- Aliter Isicia: Pork and Spelt Sausages
- Pernam - Baked Ham with fig and honey in pastry
- Aliter Caroetas: Carrots in Cumin Sauce
- Aliter Fungi Farnei: Wood Ear Mushrooms served with salt, olive oil, wine and chopped coriander
- Lenticula - Spicy lentils cooked with vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander seeds, black peppercorns and sumach
- Aliter cucumeres - Cucumber with Fennel Seed
- Betas - Beetroot and Leeks with coriander and cumin cooked in wine
- Fabaciae Frictae - fried green beans with olive oil and liquamen
- Tyropatinam - Baked Custard
- Aliter Dulcia - Fried Flour Cakes with Honey
I didn't get many photos of the evening as we were going for an authentic air and lighting was very low. I did however beg my father to take a few good shots of my minoan costume that I got to wear again along with the new wig - which took me hours to do. The fishtail braid in the back took 2 hours alone to braid. But I am really happy with it this time and look forward to the chance to wear it all again.
