I read on pbs.org that for the Ancient Romans, “Dinners became fancier affairs when guests were invited. These dinner parties would involve many elaborate courses. Hosts would put on enormous, extravagant meals to impress their guests, often seeking out novelty dishes like ostrich or flamingo. There would often be entertainment between each course, with a literary performance after dinner.”

That sounds like so much fun! I actually talked about Roman food culture also, so I referenced your post. It is interesting to me that you related to the Romans through the Chinese. Its definitely a small world.
ReplyDeleteIts realy cool how many cultures share the same types of traditions. The Chinese and the Romans, who would have thought? Its eay to focus on our differences; language, skin color, style of clothing, but if we look deeper we find that in many ways we are the same. We certainly can be drawn together if we focus on our commonalities and appreciate the differences
