Primary 4 have been making bucellatum, a very dry biscuit often eaten by Roman soldiers. Although not particularly tasty, these long-lasting biscuits would have helped a Roman soldier survive on long marches or voyages. Primary 4 really enjoyed making bucellatum – even if eating them wasn’t quite as much fun!
Adam had fun making these but didn’t like the taste very much. He tried to get the family to try them with no luck!
