I've made this Roman recipe probably a dozen times and everyone who's tried it really likes it [1]. The strange ingredients are garum [2] and asafoetida [3]. The former is just a fish sauce, so that's not hard to substitute, but you have to find asafoetida on the Internet or at an Indian food store. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LynenQ5h2Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LynenQ5h2Y 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garum 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafoetida https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asafoetida

I can usually find hing (asafoetida) in grocery stores in certain more populous parts of Canada in the spice section, it's quite a good garlic substitute for those who can't do garlic

  It's used by Janes as eating root vegetables like onions or garlic is discouraged or forbidden in that religion [1]. (Un)related: onions and garlic are pretty close to each other. Chicago is named after šikaakwa, [2] the native word for the local Allium that's alternately called "wild onion" or "wild garlic" in English [3]. You can hear a similar word for onion in a different Algonquin language, Ojibwe [4]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism#Ahimsa_in_practice:_Jain_diet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism#Ahimsa_in_practice:_Ja... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago#Etymology_and_nicknames https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago#Etymology_and_nickname... 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_tricoccum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_tricoccum 4. https://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/main-entry/zhigaagawanzh-na https://ojibwe.lib.umn.edu/main-entry/zhigaagawanzh-na

    Yep, Chicago is named for ramps. They're delicious and you can only get them for like 3-4 weeks in the spring.
