"fish" of livers, not
so much with the intention to deceive as to utilize the
livers in an attractive way. A very nutritious dish and
a most ingenious device, requiring much skill.

This is another good example of Roman cookery, far from
being extravagant as it is reputed to be, it is
economical and clever, and shows ingenuity in the
utilization of good things which are often discarded as
worthless.

[429] ANOTHER WAY, FOR A CHANGE!
_ALITER VICEM GERENS SALSI_ [1]

CUMIN, PEPPER, BROTH, WHICH CRUSH, ADDING A LITTLE RAISIN WINE, OR
REDUCED WINE, AND A QUANTITY OF CRUSHED NUTS. MIX EVERYTHING WELL,
INCORPORATE WITH THE SALT [2] [fish]; MIX IN A LITTLE OIL AND SERVE.

[1] G.-V. _Alter vice salsi_.

[2] Tor. _& salibus imbue_; List. _& salsa redde_. There
is no sense to Lister's version, nor can we accept G.-V.
who have _et salari defundes_.

[430] ANOTHER WAY
_ALITER SALSUM IN _[1]_ SALSO_

TAKE AS MUCH CUMIN AS YOUR FIVE FINGERS WILL HOLD; CRUSH HALF OF THAT
QUANTITY OF PEPPER AND ONE PIECE OF PEELED GARLIC, MOISTEN WITH BROTH
AND MIX IN A LITTLE OIL. THIS WILL CORRECT AND BENEFIT A SOUR STOMACH
AND PROMOTE DIGESTION [2].

[1] Tor., G.-V. _sine_.

[2] The title has reference to salt fish or salt pork;
but the formula obviously is of a medicinal character
and has no place here.

[431] BAIAN SEAFOOD STEW
_EMBRACTUM _[1]_ BAIANUM_ [2]

MINCED [poached] OYSTERS, MUSSELS [3] [or scallops] AND SEA NETTLES
PUT IN A SAUCE PAN WITH TOASTED NUTS, RUE, CELERY, PEPPER, CORIANDER,
CUMIN, RAISIN WINE, BROTH, REDUCED WINE AND OIL.

[1] List. _emphractum_--a caudle, a stew. Seafood stews
of this sort are very popular in the South of Europe,
the most famous among them being the _Bouillabaisse_ of
Marseilles.

[2] Baiae, a very popular seaside resort of the ancients
located in the bay of Naples. The stew was named after
the place. Horace liked the place but Seneca warned
against it.

[3] Tor. _spondylos_; List. _sphondylos_--scallops.
Both terms, if used in connection with the shellfish are
correct. Lister in several places confuses this term
with _spongiolus_--mushroom. This instance is the final
vindication of Torinus, whose correctness was maintained
in {Rx} Nos. 41, 47, 115, _seq._; 120, 121, 183, 309,
_seq._
