I love reading Pliny's anecdotes on what to use for what. It can be quite entertaining!
As for the beer selection, very nice. Especially the Duchese! I think you know how I feel about that one from TNOG!. Flemmish sours are a wonderful thing.
Sour is the word-as happens everyone just wanted to try a sip-but it was too lip puckering for them
On that note, Rodenbach just arrived in Atlanta. I had a 750ml of Grand Cru all to myself because I guess I'm the only one who really enjoys Flemmish Sours

Excellent just the sort of Festival that needs to be disseminated to a wider public-much better than santa!
Free Schnapps! Heck yeah!

Can we see a picture of it?
I'm working on it!
Though I'm still without a digital camera... I eventually want to post each of the arrow & spearheads I've found.

Its very odd that people have forgotten that plant medicine was the only medicine for most of human history
And of course the fact that much of our modern medicines are synthesized forms of the chemical compounds found in those very plants that people have used for those millennia...

Pertinax,
Have a great time in York...
I've posted a comment in the gallery about your experimental size & as I said there; I like it for it's intended use & it doesn't bother my eyes.

my goodness that does look appetising.
It does, doesn't it?
The picture here is not of mine but I wanted to give a visual reference. Mine was much larger as I had to use a roasting pan because my 2 9X12in dishes were in use for something else... Otherwise it looked exactly like that.

How funny...
I have commented elsewhere (not at UNRV) before about Pliny's passage on elephants. It really is a wonderful segment. The one thing that stuck me about it (and is what I posted about) was in regards to ivory and their tusks...
It seems to me, the implications of Pliny believing that elephants buried their tusks because they knew the value men attached to them for irovy suggests that for the most part ancient man utilized fossil ivory (from mamoths-mastadons!) as their primary source and harvested from a newly deceased elephant if that primary source wasn't available.
Is that the impression that passage gave you Pertinax?

THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!
Naa just kiddin
Hahahaha
Seriously though, it does break my heart that so many artifacts left by Paleo-Indians & Native Americans have been treated as worthless trinkets ever since Europeans showed up and started plowing them up... Sooooooooooooooo much history is totally out of context now.
If I were approached to hand it over to antiquity society - museum, I would.

You truly have everything in perspective.

Pliny enumerates 87 remedies using cabbage!
I love the stuff but think I'm going to eat much more of it in the coming months.
