Although they eat in quantity, what do you want me to tell you? I prefer our great menu. Yes, and we have them for all tastes. The Huns , for example, love to bleed their horses and drink it. They even mix it with mare's milk. What doesn't motivate you a lot as a Christmas and New Year's menu? Well, they also love to take a good piece of raw meat and put it between their legs and the back of their horses so that it marinates well with equine and human heat and sweat (Amiano Marcelino 31.2.3). Okay, okay, I'll also tell you their star dish, the one they reserve for big occasions: they are crazy about bear ham . They cook it by boiling it in water with aromatic herbs and they even add pepper. Pepper! Pepper drives us crazy! Let them tell the Visigoths ! It is said that his rex , Alaric , plans to ask the senators and patricians of the Eternal City to give him 30,000 pounds of pepper (Zosimo V, 39-41).
Well, I got lost. I will tell you that this year, the prize for the least digestive and repulsive New Year's Eve menu goes to the wild Scythian Isedones of the plains. Well, the Isedones, when a relative dies, gather as a family and dedicate themselves to cutting and smoking the meat of the corpse. Then they divide the cut portions into long strips, tie them BTC Users Number Data to a leather cord and hang them around their necks. Afterwards, with their macabre necklace of smoked human flesh, they ride through the town on horseback looking for their friends. When they come across one, they stop, cut a large piece of the smoked meat around their necks, and offer it to them. They both then calmly eat some of the smoked corpse and chat about the dead man's exploits. The ritual must be repeated over and over again, until the delicatessen runs out (Vatican Paradoxographer 61). Well, at least they eat their dead and not the living like the attackers do. Yes, seriously, I am a barbarian, I do not deny it, but those Atacotes who fled from.
We, the Burgundians, Asding and Siling vandals, Suebi, Alemanni and other Germans, prefer meat stews well seasoned with plenty of garlic and onion . The Romans, so sophisticated as they are, wrinkle their noses at our culinary preferences (Sidonio Apollinaris, 8 Epitalamio VV 5 and Ss). Although now that I think about it... Maybe they wrinkle their noses at the smell of rancid butter that our beards and hair give off. Yes, we like to smear our beards and hair with rancid lard and don't complain, the Saxons, at least their witches, smear their hair with cow dung and lime to comb it upwards. Fashion is fashion. Hibernia (Ireland) to settle in Caledonia (Scotland) and wage war on the Romans, are cannibals and enjoy roasting and eating the enemies they killed in combat . Around here, while we wait to cross the frozen Rhine, it is said that the Romans have several attack units in their armies (Saint Jerome. Epistles. CXXXIII.9,14). Look, instead of a New Year's Eve dinner, serve us as dinner.
