Check out this recipe in Book VII:
Another Sweet Dish
Aliter dulcia
Break fine white bread, crust removed, into rather large pieces which soak in milk and beaten eggs fry in oil, cover with honey and serve.
I also found several recipes calling for sow's womb, udder and paps; brains are a frequent ingredient too. Now I wonder if the Romans coined the slogan, "Everything but the squeal."

Now we know why the Roman Empire died -- they used honey and not maple syrup on their pain grillé Français.
Pain doré, Eric. ;o)
I am so not going to tell that to my Italian father-in-law. He already thinks that Italy is the center of the universe and the source of everything.
The Romans also had asparagus quiche and crabcake. But if you want to shut your f-i-l up, show him the recipes calling for sow's womb (sterile or fertile) and udders. There are some here.
Buon apetito!
You know, I think it's just safer and easier not to bring the subject up. ;o)
Asparagus quiche I can handle. I'll pass on the sow delicacies.
