While few recipes have survived from the Byzantine Empire, historians have noted that their culinary practices often echoed those of the Western Roman Empire. Many dishes, such as a recipe from Apicius titled "Aliter Dulcia" (meaning "Another Sweet"), have remained relatively unchanged. This century-old recipe describes how to create a simple dough with semolina, milk, and oil, frying it to create delicious honey-coated fritters, a cherished snack in bustling Constantinople.
