In ancient Greece, food and dining held significant social, cultural, and even religious importance. It wasn’t just about sustenance; meals were a way to connect with others, express social status, and honor the gods. Let us honor that by cooking “Globi”, a dish made from a recipe found in the writings of that time.
Participants will bring their completed dish and any documentation to the Arts and Science location on Saturday at the listed time. All participants will then taste and discuss the dishes which were created, their redactions (documentation encouraged) and dish presentation. The participants and royalty will then vote for the winner. The public is encouraged to participate in the discussion but not invited to vote. The winner will be announced and prizes given at court.
Recipe: Globi Recipe by Marcus Porchius Cato, Cato the Elder (234 BC- 149 BC) from De Agri Cultura (On Agriculture) “Globos sic facito. Caseum eum alica ad eundem modum misceto. Inde quantos voles facere facito. In ahenum caldum unguen indito. Singulos aut binos coquito versatoque crebro duabus rudibus, coctos eximito, eos melle unguito, papaver infriato, ita ponito.”
Recipe for globi (translation): Mix the cheese and spelt in the same way, sufficient to make the number desired. Pour lard into a hot copper vessel, and fry one or two at a time, turning them frequently with two rods, and remove when done. Spread with honey, sprinkle with poppy-seed, and serve. – English translation by W. D. Hooper and H. B. Ash, 1934
We can’t wait to see (and taste) what you’ll bring. Come connect, and celebrate with us!
