How to Bake Roman Bread
« on: October 03, 2017, 03:30:10 PM »
Giorgo Locatelli has done a video for the British Museum on how to bake a loaf of bread akin to the carbonized one found in Herculaneum. Notice the carry string around its waist and the bakery stamp. That's some marketing!

Cool. But just looks like normal bread...

True, true. I do like bread. Not sure about the lead bakery stamp though!

The lead adds flavour and authenticity.

A little lead in your diet makes you a real man! Just ask that horse they let in the senate.
