Hyperlynx posted:Pretty much, yes. Well, there's always silphium, aka laserwort. It was a herb used as a seasoning for cooking. Probably tasted like a better asafoetida, since that was considered a cheap substitute for silphium. Oh, and it was a natural contraceptive. Its seeds or fruits may have been the basis for the heart symbol. And it went extinct sometime during the Roman Republic.

If you like your sweet desert wines, the ancient romans had a secret ingredient they liked to add that made any wine taste better

I'm fascinated by stuff like this https://www.npr.org/2020/12/27/950645473/whats-on-the-menu-in-ancient-pompeii-duck-goat-snail-researchers-say I love evidence that 2000 years ago there was more we'd recognize and be right at home with than that we'd find totally alien. Like the Colosseum had vendor stalls selling pennants and beer hats and poo poo Also just imagining what that Pompeiian-equivalent halal cart tasted like after hundreds of years assimilating cultures around the Mediterranean. (I mean it was pretty early in the Empire but still, drat I bet you could order it spicy)

The highest-paid athlete of all time was a charioteer named Gaius Appuleius Diocles. He was worth the equivalent of 15 billion usd, most of which came from endorsement deals

I think modern quarterbacks are worth more but whatever.

vyelkin posted:There were billboards up all over Rome featuring famous gladiators endorsing products. They apparently were actually going to have that in Gladiator but felt audiences wouldn't believe it. I feel it'd work more if the whole idea of gladiators always fighting to the death was countered with the historical reality of them being almost literally pro wrestlers with weapons.

A lot of Roman food was seasoned heavily with cumin, coriander, onion, and herbs. So it was "spicy" in that it was heavily flavored with spices, but not "spicy" like it burns your mouth. Think of like modern Persian or North African cuisines. Also, a lot of traditionally Italian stuff like pesto, focaccia, lasagna, and even pizza were eaten regularly by the Romans.

I really don't feel like anyone needs to be dogged for finding something new, going 'this is pretty good' and embracing it by making it part of their culture. As long as its not harming the origin, obviously

Meanwhile America planted bradford pear trees everywhere which don't bear fruit, are an invasive species that destroys the plant, wildlife, and insect ecosystems, create safety hazards because they're lovely and split in half in a light breeze, cover everything in absurd amounts of pollen and detritus... oh yeah and they smell like cum.

Hihohe posted:Wait why are they pear trees if they dont bear fruit. And why do that. They do produce in science terms a fruit, but it's not an edible fruit. They're a crossbreeding nightmare where the end result is a "pear" that's tiny and rock hard and inedible. And its root system kills other plants while that fruit kills animals and the nasty odors and toxic blooms kill insects. It's a loving abomination.
