While the prep work was a bit hectic...all my teenage kids decided it was time to make their lunches when I started this, so there were five cooks bobbing and weaving around each other.

Wait until you find out why gladiators had such wide brimmed helmets with facial grilles that made it quite easy to speak to each other. Going theory is that professional gladiators were the original spectacle fighters. Roman WWE. There were obviously many categories of competition and participants, but there was an organizational element to these celebrity combatants.

@jcohasset23 3 месяца назад

@@Taolan8472 It makes sense really. It's almost certain the cost of training, housing, and care of gladiators meant that fights to the death between gladiators weren't as common as we think they were and were designed primarily for entertainment so they'd want to draw out the fight to a degree with posturing, banter, and likely even casual conversation among gladiators that knew each other. Any kind of team or pairing event would also greatly benefit from participants being able to clearly communicate to each other.

@@RachelleHinrichs You are very welcome. If you don't have a stone pestle (And it needs to be stone, they are actually pretty hard) put a few in a zip top bag, lay it on its side on a hard surface and give it a few whacks the side or the top of a hammer. Remember you are not pulverizing it, you are just getting pieces big enough to fit into the grinding gears. peppercorn sized is not a bad thing to shoot for. And only do enough for a few days, so they stay fresh. Once you try it, you ain't going back.

They did serve wings at the Colosseum. Along with the rest of the bird -- small birds, roasted whole. At the Colosseum today there are displays of the bones from what were presumably game food.
