[edit] Tractae

Macrakis, here are some sources:

"No recipe survives from ancient Greece, but there are several that have come down to us from Apicius. The Roman chef mentions something called tractogalatus, suggesting the possibility that the origin of that particular dish, if not of the product itself, might be Greek. A dish called pullus tractogalatus involved putting cooked chicken into a sauce of milk and honey thickened with crumbled tractum (i.e., trakton). Another dish from Apicius, pulte, is a kind of porridge made of milk and water and thickened with dough balls. "

Don't revert again. Crvst 15:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Crvst, you're right, I shouldn't have reverted, sorry; I should just have put in a {{fact}} tag -- but you've added a reference, so in the end there was the same effect. I have cleaned up your bibliographic reference and added a reference to Perry, who argues against Hill and Bryer's identification of tractae. I don't think the issue is resolved.... --Macrakis 17:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
