consequently fetched there very high price;
yet Macrobius assures US that the Roman
pontifs never missed to have them every
day on their tables. From the fourth cen
tury to the reign OF Louis xiv, they were
nearly forgotten, out they soon came again
into vigor, and from that time have kept up
their reputation. Gastronomers, we Know
