Romans' History

Browned chorizo, onions, red/yellow/green peppers, and roasted buckwheat (kasha) simmered in a wine + chicken stock base, with olives mixed in and parsley on top


Many historical sources state how Romans were using parsley at orgies
to cover up their smelly breath.

Although it's true that parsley is a natural breath sweetener, that has not been the only reason for this herb's popularity in Roman Empire.

Romans' feasts are also known to be bountiful and some aid in digestion (which parsley provided) was more than likely - severely needed... ;-)
