Far from the first to have that for lunch. Exchange the maple syrup with honey and you got it. Refined sugars used for food didn't come until the 6th century. A more probable ancient Roman recipe would have been Ova Sfongia Ex Lacte (basically an omelet) During the times of the Greeks and Romans, blueberry relatives were an important part of the daily diet. http://education.hi7.co/blueberries-during-ancient-times-5716e9caee3b9.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
