    Ancient Recipes “Sad creatures are we! In sum, poor man is naught. We’ll all end up like this, in Orcus’ hands, So let’s enjoy life while we can. {…} Trimalchio said: ‘Come on, let’s tuck in; this is the dinner menu.’” Petronius, The Saryricon , trans. P.G. Walsh (New York: Oxford University Press, 1997) 35. _____________________________ Conditum Paradoxum (Spiced Wine) Reference: Apicius I,I The Romans traditionally served a honeyed wine as an aperitif with the first course at dinner. This was known as mulsum . It was a simple mixture of honey and wine in a ratio dependant on personal taste. This recipe is something finer: a special spiced wine or conditum , a distant ancestor of modern aperi - tifs such as the Martini. 1 BOTTLE (70 CL) MEDIUM-DRY WHITE WINE 6 OZ (3/4 CUP/ 170 G) CLEAR HONEY 1/2 TEASPOON GROUND BLACK PEPPER 1 BAY LEAF PINCH SAFFRON POWDER OR STRANDS OF SAFFRON PINCH MASTIC (OPTIONAL) 1 FRESH DATE, THE STONE ROASTED FOR 10 MINUTES AND THE FLESH SOAKED IN A LITTLE WINE Put 5 fl oz (2/3 cup/ 150 ml) of the wine in a saucepan with honey and bring it to a boil. Skim if Hirundo: The McGill Journal of Classical Studies, Volume I: 97-100 © 2002 98 HIRUNDO 2002 necessary. Repeat and remove from the heat. Add the seasonings to the wine while it is hot: this speeds up the flavoring process. When it is cold, add the rest of the wine and allow to stand overnight. To serve, strain through a fine sieve or muslin.
