Sweet Punic spelt porridge according to Cato the Elder

Kind of ironic that this recipe for Punic porridge was written down by Cato the Elder, in his book “De agri cultura“ (“On Farming“), the same guy who concluded all his speeches with “Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem esse delendam“ (“Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed“, often abbreviated to “Carthago delenda est“: “Carthage must be destroyed“), to push for the Third Punic War. You need: pearl spelt, ricotta cheese, honey and one egg.
