The Occasion: ...FABULOUS FEASTS THROUGHOUT HISTORY<br /><br />The Occasion: A modern Roman orgy, the Forum of the 12 Caesars, New York City, 1960.<br /><br />The Host: Movie magnate Joseph Levine, who was promoting his film Hercules Unchained.<br /><br />The Menu: The several hundred guests enjoyed the following:<br /><br />Pheasants of the Golden House on Silver Shields<br /><br />Suckling Pigs Roasted in the Manner of Trimalchio<br /><br />Pliny's Chicken in Nests with the Golden Eggs of Crassus<br /><br />Lobsters of the Northern Seas (Served chilled.)<br /><br />Cold Lamb in a Bouquet of Fresh Mint<br /><br />The Noble Peacock in Its Imperial Plumage<br /><br />Turbot Britannicus (The Roman senate actually debated which vessel was proper for cooking this magnificent fish.)<br /><br />Silver Salmon Poached in Etruscan Wine<br /><br />Truffle-Stuffed Quail Cleopatra, Wrapped in Macedonian Vine Leaves<br /><br />Trout Bleu (A favorite sport of the old Romans was cooking live fish right at the table.)<br /><br />Scotch Salmon Rolled with Caviar (Hadrian's discovery.)<br /><br />Hams from the Herds of Epicurus Served with Ripe Figs<br /><br />Filet of Beef with a Sauce of Red Wine, Marrow, and Onions<br /><br />Young Ducklings in the Style of Apicius<br /><br />Chickens and Game Hens in Clay (A favorite method of Roman cooking.)<br /><br />A Tribute to Triton: A Variety of Steaming Shellfish in Falernian Wine and Cream<br /><br />This is not to mention the hors d'oeuvres, or the vegetables, or the dessert courses.<br /><br />Table Talk: Each guest was presented with a laurel wreath to wear, and lutes were strummed in the background. "Serving maidens" dressed in Roman togas and "live slaves" carried in the food. The lion led around the room on a chain made a few of the diners nervous.k. riggs gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807633349311664382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-43441764856656803522010-01-30T07:32:20.325-08:002010-01-30T07:32:20.325-08:00T & I,
