A propos de cet article

The first complete Latin edition of the ancient (3rd century A.D.) Athenaeus' work on banqueting; the work is presented as conversations, but touches on ancient societal norms, food recipes, food criticism, politics, love and many other topics. Of note, the oldest known "recipe" assigned to a named chef is found in this work, when a short recipe is attributed to Mithaecus (fifth century B.C.) on the preparation of fish (on page 133 of this edition). Related, we have one of the oldest examples of food criticism, where Archestratus (page 117) states that the preparation of fish, in the style of Mithaecus' culture, is disgusting and should only be reserved for covering up the flavor of poor-quality fish. This particular copy has a funny annotation on page 7, where the note taker re-writes (perhaps, with disbelief) the statement that an aphrodisiac has the ability for the user to partake in intercourse 70 times.
