An To Ti Another Today's Tidbit

Flamingo tongues were a common delicacy at Roman feasts.

Yum Yum Yum

Yeah because as we all know Flamingo's infest Italy and its Carribbeanesque tropical temperatures...so much so theres a Roman Shrimp Shortage...causing such an outrage that a special hunting season has been suggested...several Roman warriors and Praetorians are ecstatic...looking forward to Gladiator Games @ the Coli, featuring such rare delicacies as Flamingo Feet Fettuccine...Royal Pink Flamingo Ravioli...and of course lets not forget the Flamingo Tongue Tortellini...seriously...the Flamingo is a Tropical bird, and even if by some chance it strayed off course and landed in Italy...can you possibly imagine how many Flamingo Tongues it would take to feed a family of four...let alone it being a delicacy for a Royal Feast...I apologize for sounding skeptical...but this sounds about as feasible as Penguin Beak Aphrodisiacs are to the Greeks...unless there were a few lost Roman ships, and a couple lost chapters in history regarding Rome conquering Florida or Cuba, I find it highly unlikely Romans even know,Flamingoes have tongues!!!
