It is kind of strange to link it with Rome over China. Occam's razor and all that. But, I thought the production and end product of garum were not known today?

It is kind of strange to link it with Rome over China. Occam's razor and all that. But, I thought the production and end product of garum were not known today? We know how much Romans loved it, but I thought nobody knew exactly how it was made or its texture, etc. One thing that stuck out to me: > the flavoursome dip was the second most expensive liquid on the market after perfumes, and is said to have had an unexpectedly pleasant smell. It developed a nasty smell only after it had become foul As much as I love eating things flavored with fish sauce, its smell is... rank. It smells terrible, but it tastes great.
