Pig Uterus and Other Exotic Roman Recipes

YouTuber Max Miller makes historic recipes and shares the results online. Recently, he posted a video about a cheesecake recipe in a book by Cato the Elder, a Roman statesman famous for ending all speeches in the Senate, regardless of the subject, by calling for the destruction of Carthage. Cato's recipe for savillum (cheesecake) can be found here.

Miller's video mentions other Roman recipes that I suspect you haven't tried yet. They're listed in Apicius, a Fifth Century AD cookbook that you can read in Latin or English.

There are three recipes for pig uterus: grilled, boiled, and, if I understand the text correctly, pickled.

Cook a pig uterus and slip it into the backpack of a friend.
