Siobhan Ball celebrates the end of apple season with the myths and folklore surrounding Pomona, the Roman goddess of apples, and includes a frustrating but authentic recipe for a Minutal of Fruit from Apicius, the ancient Roman gourmand.

A couple of years ago I bought a #Roman cook book, based on Cato and #Apicius, but for various reasons I didn't really get to the point where I actually used it for anything. But I've decided it's time to subject my family to #ancient recipes. I am sure they'll love it. Kids love #authenticity.

Anyway, the first step is to cook a couple of wine-based sirups, here 'Defrutum' which is made by boiling wine and figs until its maple-syrup like.

Next up is 'Caroenum', which is a sweet white syrup, and finally the Roman fish sauce 'liquamen' which I'll make from Caroenum and some Vietnamese nuoc-mâm.

I've mentioned Thomas Oboe Lee before. He's a modern #classical composer who often takes very strange texts as his source material. There's inspiration from Isaac Newton, the tarot, other composers. Today's release features texts by first century Roman gourmet Marcus Gavius #Apicius. https://thomasoboelee.bandcamp.com/album/apicius-de-re-coquinaria-2023
