It’s the third time this happens.

I salute you, fellow Sierra Online adventure game enthusiast.

I love these trolls. They are both brutally violent yet they have whimsical colors as if they were some sort of deranged Care Bears.

I won’t lie about your odds, but you have my sympathies:

Worst pickup line ever.

This is ignoring medieval history entirely where bigotry was focused on religion, but broadly people with different skin colors were accepted. It is also ignoring ancient history where differently skin colored people could raise in ranks (up to general), and bigotry was culture centric.

I agree that tribalism is a very old thing, but racism is brand new in history terms.

Because there’s no such a thing as unskilled labor, some people believe that you can wait tables without training, and that people duck as waiters.
Plus they clearly hate the job so it makes me feel as if they are making me a favor. That said, probably the job pays terribly and that’s the reason why this happened in the first place.

I want competent waiters with competent salaries.

And if someone didn’t get enough sauce out of my comment, here’s some discussion on what to call them: Garum, Liquamen and Muria: A new approach to the problem of definition

Tuna and large fish were traditionally used for “garum”, while small fish were used for “liquamen”. (Though the naming changed with time to reflect production processes rather than raw materials).

Garum was always expensive, while liquamen was initially cheaper and the byproducts of garum production (muria and allec) were the cheapest of them all, and probably the latter was what was given to slaves.

It is available in some specialized supermarkets, I think at least one Spanish version is available in the US. In fact, there are several versions available from the same country, but with modernized recipes.

If you can find a bottle, here’s a recipe for you: https://www.historicalcookingclasses.com/garum/

In fact, some high-end places tend to fabricate their own garum with different bases than fish: https://www.foodandwine.com/condiments/why-chefs-have-loved-garum-since-ancient-times
