Try the chicken cacciatore
And here you Portlanders thought your neighborhood food cart was an old standby. Check out this fascinating story about an ancient hot food stand that archaeologists have unearthed in the ruins of Pompeii.
Traces of nearly 2,000-year-old food were found in some of the deep terra cotta jars containing hot food which the shop keeper lowered into a counter with circular holes...
Amoretti said traces of pork, fish, snails and beef had been found in the containers, a discovery she called a "testimony to the great variety of animal products used to prepare dishes."
For some of us, of course, discovering traces of 2,000-year-old food is no big achievement. It's in the back of the refrigerator. Sixty seconds in the microwave on high, and it's fine.
