LOLIUM, LOLA, darnel, rye-grass, ray-grass, meal. The seeds of this
grass were milled, the flour or meal believed to possess some
narcotic properties, as stated by Ovid and Plautus, but recent
researches have cast some doubt upon its reported deleterious
qualities. Apicius, ℞ 50, reads LOLAE FLORIS
LONGANO, a blood sausage, ℞ 61. The LONGANONES PORCINOS EX IURE
TARENTINO in ℞ 140 is a part of the PATINA EX LACTE; a pork
sausage made in Tarent of the straight gut, the rectum. Lister says
they are cooked in Tarentinian sauce and are not unlike the sausage
called APEXABO and HILLA. These sausages were in vogue before the
Italians learned to make them; it was in Epirus, Greece, that they
were highly developed. Their importation into Rome caused quite a
stir, politically. Lister, ℞ 50, p. 119, describes the sausage
and calls the inhabitants of Tarent "most voluptuous, soft and
delicate" because Juvenal, Sat. VI, v. 297, takes a shot at Tarent
This part of Italy, and especially Sicily, because in close contact
with Greece was for many years much farther advanced in art of
cookery than the North
Lucania, district of lower Italy whence came the Lucanian sausage,

LUCIUS FLUVIALIS, a river fish, perch, or pike, according to some;
Platina also calls it LICIUS. Cf. MERULA
Lucretian Dish, ℞ 151
Lucullus, Roman general, proverbial glutton, has a place here
because of his importation into Rome of the cherry, which he
discovered in Asia Minor. He cannot be expected to be represented in
the Apicius book because he died 57 B.C.
