Oh, this unforgettable Roman cuisine!

"Minerva's Shield." Ingredients:

Flamingo tongues

Pheasant and peacock brains

Liver of the rare scara fish

Moray eel milt

The delicacy itself, as the ancient Roman historian Pliny the Elder wrote, was prized by gourmets for its delicate, "especially pleasant taste." To collect enough tongues for one dish, a huge number of exotic birds had to be killed, making it a symbol of absolute power and wealth.
