History in Taberna? I follow that one, and Tasting History. I find it very interesting to dig through food history. Sometimes there are gems hidden in the past. That’s how I found the best recipe for lemonade, for example. Nothing modern comes close, because they forget that they can add a few oranges to balance the acid

If you can handle the occasional failure or dish from the 14th century that does not fit a modern palate, sure!

3·14 days agoLike, when the majority of the taste is salt and umami, and there are few spices or “risky” flavours. Tasting safe is being inoffensive and accessible, but less exciting
