Life

Okay so we've got a project due in Latin. Here's Beebs' criteria:
~*~*~*~*~
Breakdown:
70 Recipe Book
You are to go online and search the internet for recipes and make a cookbook of 10 recipes that the Romans would have eaten. Five of those recipes should be researched and 5 should be your own creation. The cookbook should be both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
30 Reaction Paper
You are to write a 2 page (size 12, times new roman, double spaced) reaction to what the Romans ate and how well you could have survived without the ingredients we have come to love that were unknown in their world
50 Preparation and delivery of food
You will choose one of the dishes from your cookbook and make enough for everyone in the class to try. You must also bring enough plastic forks/spoons and paper plates and napkins to serve your dish. Dishes must be brought in coolers packed in ice if they need refrigeration. I do not have a big enough fridge for everyone. It is your responsibility to use proper food safety.
25 Presentations
You will spend 3 min explaining to the class what your dish is, how you made it, et cetera. Be prepared to have Mr. B fire questions at you during your presentation to make sure you know what YOU made.
25 Mr. B not getting sick
In theory none of the food should make me sick. If I do get sick from something I ate. Everyone loses 25 points off their grade. Make sure you wash your hands and cook meat all the way through.
200 Point total
~*~*~*~*~

I shall have 11 recipes. The project will be done to perfection, but shall include one final touch to imply exactly what I think of this project...

Roman Gladiator*
1 Roman Gladiator, still warm
3 cups olive oil
4 cups flour
1/2 cup red wine
Salt
Pepper
Garum (if desired)

Remove Gladiator from Colisseum. Making sure to keep from dragging him along the ground, bring him to an open cooking fire. Carefully remove armor. Clean Gladiator (likely this is his first bath in months). Remove hair by grasping firmly at the scalp, and pulling up; place dagger just at hairline and make one swift swipe forwards. Never pull a swipe toward you.
Next, rub with olive oil. Then, lightly season with salt and pepper ad libitum (*at leisure*). Sprinkle flour over corpse.
Next take hoplite spear and insert at base of neck. Press hard until it follows down spine. Exit at lower vertabrae. Secure ankles at throat, and wrists at thighs. Douse his subligaculum (*underwear*) in wine, and stuff down throat. Place spitted Gladiator over flame, and cook until meduim-rare.
Add garum, if desired.
Serve hot.
NOTA BENE: Your Gladiator's breastplate makes a good dish to eat the Gladiator from, especially if you lack dinnerware large enough for an entire Gladiator.

(PS Sam, as reigning Top Gladiator of NJCL will make a perfect Gladiator for the recipe.

Note to Non-Latin peoples: Garum is stinky, rotten fish sauce. The others have been defined in the text.
