OVAGE, CORIANDER, RUE, BROTH, HONEY AND A LITTLE OIL.

ANOTHER WAY: THYME, SATURY, PEPPER, LOVAGE, HONEY, BROTH AND OIL.

[1] Also _Elaeogarum_.

V. Directions wanting whether the above ingredients are
to be added to the already prepared _garum_, which see
in dictionary. Gollmer gives the following direction for
_garum_: Boil a _sextarium_ of anchovies and 3
_sextarii_ of good wine until it is thick _puree_.
Strain this through a hair sieve and keep it in glass
flask for future use. This formula, according to Goll.
should have followed our No. 9; but we find no authority
for it in the original.

_Oenogarum_ proper would be a _garum_ prepared with
wine, but in this instance it is the broth in which the
truffles were cooked that is to be flavored with the
above ingredients. There is no need and no mention of
_garum_ proper. Thus prepared it might turn out to be a
sensible sauce for truffles in the hands of a good
practitioner.

Note the etymology of the word "garum," now serving as a
generic name for "sauce" which originally stood for a
compound of the fish _garus_.

Cf. _Garum_ in index.

GREEN RUE] 6 SCRUPLES OF SALTPETER, A DOZEN SCRUPLES OF PLUMP DATES, 1
OZ. OF PEPPER AND 11 [List. 9] OZS. OF HONEY. THE CUMIN MAY BE EITHER

[35] HYPOTRIMA [1]
_HYPOTRIMA_

[Tor. HYPOTRIMA, MEANING IN LATIN A PERFECT MESS OF POTAGE, REQUIRES
THIS]: PEPPER, LOVAGE, DRY MINT, PIGNOLIA NUTS, RAISINS, DATE WINE,
SWEET CHEESE, HONEY, VINEGAR, BROTH, WINE, OIL, MUST OR REDUCED MUST
[2]

[1] List. and G.-V. _Hypotrimma_.

V. This formula, lacking detailed instructions, is of
course perfectly obscure, and it would be useless to
debate over it.

[2] Tor. and Tac. _cariotam_; Sch. _cariotum_; List. and
G.-V. _car{oe}num_. This (_carenum_) is new wine boiled
down one half of its volume. _Cariotum_ is a palm wine
or date wine.
