Want to Know How a 2,000 Year-old Fish Sauce tastes like?

Ships that stay sunk in the ocean for thousand of years, are always amazing. Boaters always find interesting stuff inside them, but this time, I think it is absolutely hilarious what a group of brave explorers found in the deep waters of southeast Spain: A Roman shipwreck of the 1st century carrying a lot of clay jars to hold fish sauce (above.) Supposedly it was a very fine condiment that rich Romans used to consume hundred of years ago.

Now researchers are trying to study this jars to determine how the fish sauce was made. I don’t know why they make such a big deal out of a fish sauce. Instead they should be spending more money on finding the cure for cancer or something more useful. I ask myself what in the world they are going to do once they find the recipe for the fish sauce? They better share it with the world because I am dying to know how it tastes like. I am thinking…how much would that study cost? It better not be much. In the meantime, I will watch closely as this study progresses, and I promise I will share the recipe with you once it gets released.
