Placenta, der Ursprung des Baklava

Placenta is a dish from ancient Rome consisting of many dough layers interspersed with a mixture of cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves, then baked and covered in honey.[1][2] Cato included a recipe in his De Agri Cultura (160 BC).


It derives from the Greek term plakous (Ancient Greek: πλακοῦς, gen. πλακοῦντος – plakountos, from πλακόεις - plakoeis, "flat") for thin or layered flat breads,[4][5][6] and Andrew Dalby considers it, and surrounding dessert recipes in Cato, to be in the "Greek tradition," possibly copied from a Greek cookbook.[7] A flowery description of plakous was left by the Greek poet Antiphanes (fl. 3rd century BC).[8]


A number of scholars suggest that the Roman dessert's Eastern Roman (Byzantine) descendants, plakountas tetyromenous ("cheesy placenta") and koptoplakous (Byzantine Greek: κοπτοπλακοῦς), are the ancestors of modern tiropita (börek or banitsa) and baklava respectively.
 
Byzanz ist mein Lieblingsnation in EU4. Es ist immer spass alte Gebiete zu sammeln und dannach dem Romischen Reich aufbauen
