Introduction

Once upon a time, mankind was more bothered about survival of the fittest, and to fill his stomach than to wonder about devising a meal fit for a king. But as living conditions improved and man got access to more and more foodstuffs, eating habits changed.
Also, half of the finest dishes in the world, at that time and which is still a part of fine eating gourmet cuisine repertoire were made by cooks, for their masters, who were discriminating and wealthy eaters. So they could afford exotic and exquisite very expensive dishes, brought to them from all four corners of the earth.

Nevertheless, a majority of the populace even then had to make do with cooking dishes, which were able to make a little go a long way.

Let’s take the example of Italy – especially Rome – in ancient times. You can imagine that this practice took place sometime, somewhere all over the world, in all civilizations from the beginning of time. The people who were wealthy enough took the best pieces of meat, especially the choicest and juiciest portions for their meals every day. The ordinary working populace had to make do with what was left over.

So any enterprising Italian mother cooking a meal for a large hungry family with just a few pieces of meat used her creativity and inventiveness to make a dish fit for an Emperor. No doubt, this creative activity was done by mothers all over the world, millenniums ago, using all the ingredients they had at hand.
