Hallucinogenic Garum: Salema Porgy sh

[richsc]

This just showed up over in FB. It is a common fish in the Med, but one fellow who actually eats it says it is the intestines that might be the hallucinogenic part. Can you imagine bottling this in garum? Funny thing is I have never seen this mentioned in any history, or in novels or mysteries as plot elements. Makes you wonder if Caligula got a high dose of it, or overdose?

Psst... Ave homo--need a little garum? This stuff will make you see Jupiter. Scis quid dicam?"

Out of curiosity, shouldn't that last bit technically be "Scisne dicantem?" ("You know what I am saying?")

D'oh--my "ancient hallucinogenic intestines street dealer" grammar is rusty!

I find the FB announcement-- with no historical references whatsoever-- as Quite Fishy! 8-)
