Imagine a sauce made from fermenting fish intestines in the scorching sun for months until they dissolved into a brown liquid. Now imagine paying $500 a bottle for it.
Welcome to the story of Garum—the obsession of the Ancient World.
For nearly a thousand years, the Roman Empire didn’t run on wine or olive oil; it ran on umami. From the banquet tables of Emperors to the grain porridge of soldiers, this pungent "liquid gold" was the ketchup, soy sauce, and medicine of antiquity all rolled into one.
In this episode of Chronous Thread, we unseal the jars of the past to reveal:
• 🐟 The Science of Rot: How Romans turned toxic decay into delicious flavor.
• 🌋 The Tycoon of Pompeii: The man who tiled his house with ads for his own fish sauce before Vesuvius erupted.
• 💰 The Economics of Stink: Why Garum factories were banned from cities and how they fueled a global trade network.
• 🩸 The Medical Weirdness: Why doctors poured fish sauce on dog bites and ulcers.
• 🕸️ The Thread Reconnected: How the collapse of the Empire "killed" the sauce, and the accident in a 19th-century British pharmacy that brought it back to life (Look in your pantry!).
Join us as we pull at the loose ends of history to weave together the story of the world's most misunderstood ingredient.
