So, as a total foodie, I was reading up on food history sometime ago, and came across the story of garum: The legendary Roman fermented fish sauce that played the same integral role in ancient Roman cuisine as ketchup does in western style fast food, or soy sauce in East Asian cuisine.
However, the popular sauce eventually disappeared from history as a result of the Roman Empire's collapse making it's large scale production no longer possible. With the modern day Worcestershire sauce from the UK, and the Southeast Asian fish sauce being the closest equivalent to the Roman garum in spirit, but even then, they were developed completely separately from the original.
So I was wondering: What would have been the minimal and lease divergent POD needed to keep garum integral part of modern day western (Or at the very least, Italian and/or Greek) cuisine?
