Garum was an ancient Roman fish sauce that was surprisingly common. Though it had many different recipes (and terms), ancient writers referenced it often, and the Roman empire was dotted with garum factories. Vox's Phil Edwards made one of the variations of garum (and got his hands dirty in the process).

That awkward moment when vox becomes buzzfeed
XD
maks me cri
I think they were trying to parody that type of video. maybe not.
I was just thinking that
im pretty sure this is a parody
For those who compares this video with Buzzfeed, let me tell you that Vox at least mixes videos AND interesting info and not just stock images and stolen content
someone's sassy. you're right, though
Vice is also way better than Buzzfeed and it's better at times than Vox. I just think that it's hypocritical that Vox never exposed the corruption of Clinton while bashing Trump all day.
+n64wilbert yeah most of the media is left wing nowadays even in my country and most of Europe(can't really tell about the whole thou). I think it is the agenda of the bigcorps to bomb us with the libertarian views imo.
Maybe you confuse being left with being reasonable. I dont say, reasonable people must vote for Clinton. But it would be very unreasonable to make a maniac like Trump the next President of Country with nukes. The US should go with the lesser of two evils.
+Julius Caesar so you like the alternative?
I've actually had this before, we ate it for our Latin class and I have to say it was quite good. Strong taste that certainly isn't for everyone, but it's got character and it really feels like you're eating a 1000 year old fish.
I have heard that it contains some sort of naturally occurring msg
Kind of. It's the same thing as soy sauce, the intestines of fish contain protease which breaks down protein in the flesh into amino acids. One of those amino acids is glutamic acid. MSG is a sodium salt of glutamic acid(salts are when you combine an acid with a base, generally produces water and a salt)
+Isaac Dixon A LOT of foodie sites add fish sauce - the Asian version of garum - to any food in which they wish to boost the "umami" flavor- that meaty glutamate taste.
hmmm hmmmm now what could be better than that..:(
*2000* or so year old dish.
Vox don't you dare turn into a another f*cking Buzzfeed.. Vox..
To be fair, Buzzfeed would manage to somehow turn it into a social justice segment
+RevolutionGamersHD as if vox doesnt most of the time
The sexist condiment ancient Romans ate that you have to SEE to believe...
But this was funny
I second this comment.
man, hold your knife right...i wanted to take over, you had me all nervous
haha yea i was wondering the same thing. i think he might have been kneeling at the table because of the camera overhead
Yeah, it's side to side for attention, up and down for results, morons
Came for this
The original recipe called for the fish to still be alive when you gut it.
I find your lack of authenticity disturbing.
I doubt they even used what they made...the pour on the last looks like too refined as it a came from a store...
what's with the annoying sound bites
Gave me flashbacks of turn of millennium arcades.
i think they're making fun of buzzfeed's tasty.
Jarren Z to those of us who don't know any buzzfeed videos they just sound like idiots
Then instead of calling this guy an idiot, use that time you'd spend being correct on the internet and look it up for yourself. Here, I did it for you: video-cdn.buzzfeed.com/5884/mp4_640x640/1467306807
LVL80 Catlady I did not call anyone an idiot and I have no interest in watching any buzzfeed videos.
If anyone wants to try fish sauce, it's available in Asian markets. Filipinos call it "patis". It's added to a lot of soups. It's not disgusting at all... it's like an alternative to salt.
Worcestershire sauce is flavored primarily with fish
Noooooooooo! Really?!
I don't get what is so disgusting about this
Rotting fish innards? Sounds delicious.
+Anti-social Social club Fermented, not rotting. Or are you saying that beer, bread, and cheese are just as disgusting?
rotting and fermenting are relative terms. mostly a question of whether you're eating it later
I'm guessing this channels main audience is in the US. Eating intestines isn't very common there and letting meat out for months is a very unorthodox way to prepare it there. Combining the two is a recepy for weird, why are you surprised people find this weird?
possibly the blood, gore and dead animals...
oh buzzfeed you always make me cringe
This isn't buzz feed...
Vox.
+Tate Mark it isn't?
Yes, it is.
When would BuzzFeed ever try to teach you anything?
Garum? I think this is what the vietnamese would call Nuoc Mam:P. Not really that disgusting tbh
Yass, it's basically fish sauce made out of fermented fish.
in the phillipines we call it "patis". Really, it's totally not disgusting at all.
"Nam pla" in thailand ^_^
Tuk Trei in Khmer :D
Kdhsbdsjd in Gibberish
"Disgusting condiments"? What about the sausages people still eat? Humans haven't stopped eating disgusting things
your mom loved sausages!
Wow, what an unwarranted "Your mother" joke!
I think Garum sounds delicious.
You find sausage disgusting? Why, exactly? Sure, I could understand hot dogs, but not proper sausage.
The entire time I was thinking "please wash your freakin your hands"
for a moment i thought this was HowtoBasic's video XD
Not really the same style.
+Atomic Robo Tesla Not at all the same style.
I mean there wasn't even any eggs.
Atomic Robo Tesla i mean from the look of the Thumbnail
I thought it was threadbanger
I thought this was a BuzzFeed video for a moment
This channel is buzzfeed's retarded little brother. You have Fallen Vox.
no but watch buzzfeed steal this vid
+Zeke Delacruz pretty much
Yeah. Liked d content but hated d music n random "cool"s n "ahh"s 😔
Oh please don't turn into Diet Buzzfeed, you're better than that!
Vox must not gut too many fish.
This video was cute and interesting, but way too Buzzfeed-y.
I bet it would taste nice on a ripe Mango. Its fairly common in Asia really.
If you've ever had Thai, Vietnamese, practically any southeast Asian cuisine then you've undoubtedly consumed it.
A Very HowToBasic video..... minus the eggs.
And shouting, throwing food and no rubbing stuff on something
what is a how to basic vid with no eggs?
Somehow that thumb thingy reminds me of "How to basic".
yes like how it is at the end of his vids
Garum was used as a seasoning in whole recipes. Where we add a pinch of salt - or even McCormick's seasonings - in recipes they added say, a teaspoon of garum in their recipes. And they didn't only use the guts of the fish to make the garum, they also used the fish itself - cut up in chunks.
It's interesting that in Malay the word for salt is 'garam'. A fish sauce like garum is called budu Malaysia and other varieties are found throughout Southeast Asia.
maybe the name of sauce was brought up either to malaysia or rome because of the early silk road
edit,: actually it has different origins, but, dunno
Fish sauce? ... common thing in south east asia.
Lol nuoc mam?
Yea we have fish sauce like that but much much worst they put the whole fish in it for a year or 2 years
+HelikaonIX they use the whole fish in Thailand, so yes. And it smells just like it sounds.
Fish sauce - smells like ass, but tasty when diluted.
Iranthi Abeysuriya
I didn't know it was use in Indian cooking. What sort of dishes is it used in?
This buzzfeed parody is spot on!
my animations are disgusting. check em out
AH the Pika, indeed your like everywhere. lol.
Xiefux why are you so angry?
Xiefux you do realize every comment on every channel is just a ploy to get likes and top comment.
Every single person
boi
Xiefux shallow like your content?
I'm Vietnamese, and this just sounds like nuoc mam to me. It's pretty delicious.
It's still common in Asian cuisine, actually. Fish sauce or in Filipino (where I'm from) it's called patis. Same process, minus the herbs.
Yep, there's Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese versions, etc and is the ancestor of soy sauce. There's other similar sauces made from shrimp and even octopus. And it's still made in parts of Italy, under the name colatura.
Is it good?
Yeah it's really good, it's usually used to bring out the flavors in the dish. Like soy sauce, the taste is umami.
This is no less disgusting than any form of animal product
your moms a animal product
rekt
Dicks out for Harambe ✌️
I know. I really wanna try this Garum stuff! It makes my mouth water!
I agree, Sarah!
fish sauce is very common in south east asian countries like Thailand and the Philippines. Almost the same procedure instead, they use whole fish, salt and no herbs for fermentation. Fish sauce is one of the best source of umami taste.
If it taste like fish sauce it ain’t umami
Southeast Asian countries have something similar called 'Fish Sauce' that is basically whole fish that is salted and fermented in barrels. Smells like hell, tastes like heaven.
That recipe is called garum ,and here in Italy (Rome) you can still find it somewhere
Have you ever eaten in a Thai restaurant? If so, then you've had this, it's in everything.
What a closed-minded creator of this video. Modern day versions, created nearly the exact same way, can be addictingly delicious. Don't knock what you don't know anything about, obviously the Romans knew there was something to it.
Tastes different, the clay pots and pure organ ingredients give a creamy, deep fish flavor.
There's not even a taste test!
I think this was just demonstration on how they did it back then. I bet you Garum now probably tastes completely different from back then.
Or just go to your local Asian store and by them fish sauce. It is used as condiments and for cooking.
Asians. That's all they need to know ;) haha
Dog sauce
but that's not as interesting making a video showing how it was made in ancient rome. I didn't even know they used fish sauce.
Did you eat it?
Tide Pod challenge has nothing on this secret sauce fermented in the sun for six months..
Today Vietnam and Thailand still use Fish Sauce all the time just like the Ancient Romans.
At first I saw the Mackerel and thought "This doesn't look so bad..." Now I can't stop screaming.
In several regions in the Philippines, we have a condiment/appetizer made from fish guts too but it's from smaller fish. The guts are cleaned. The insides are thrown away and washed with water first, then salt and finally with vinegar. You wash it with vinegar multiple times. After you squeeze all the vinegar out of the guts, add salt, vinegar, ginger and other spices (I forgot the other things my grandma put in the mix). The dayok, that's what it's called, is then placed in a glass container and allowed to ferment for a few days before it can be consumed.
I've never eaten the intestine part but I did used the liquid as dipping sauce several times. People often squeeze kalamansi and/or add vinegar if the dayok is too salty.
I'll have you know this was the finest condiment in the empire
So it's like nouc mam in Vietnam?
I guess
+KPopsicleSNSD but fish sauce uses all the fish.
Something similar is still popular in South Korea, today. It is a hot salty fermented fish gut. It is not even a novelty food, you can easily buy one. I used to eat it when I was a kid... but now I know a lot more about parasites and bacteria, I do not want to eat them anymore.
You know the whole reason this was popular was it created MSG a natural flavor enhancer, right?
We still have a version of garum that's in common use: worchestershire sauce.
Please don't be buzzfeed
it is like plaa raa "ปลาร้า" in notheast of thailand but instead of sardine we use whole body of freshwater fish for fermentation
Come on Vox, your better than this
Still no video on the Wikileaks DNC scandal
*you're
Worcestershire sauce, besides seasonings, is basically a fermented sardine sauce.
You're gonna need a LOT more salt to make Garum. "Two fingers thick per layer of fish" more.
Information brought to you by Invicta.
Someone doesn't know how to clean a fish
The fish should neither be cleaned nor washed because of the bacteria necessary for the fermentation.
this is not correct at all.... whole fish ( i wouldn't use the intestines) and a lot more salt and a lot less time
We call that fish sauce in Southeast Asia, and it's quite delicious
Philippines, mostly on the northern island, has exactly the same condiment. And we really love it. We treasure it so much, it's one of the most safely stored "property" to whether the 20 typhoons the country gets every year. IT IS disgusting, but the flavor that is a gustatory version of how awful noises harmonize into a divine piece of music makes it a delicacy worthy of protection, and "preservation". Salty seas surrounding the country means cheap salt, and plentiful fish.

..now youll get a cheinss to make your own gehhrum.. eeinnnnd...
Do not - I repeat - DO NOT under any circumstances whatsoever leave fish in your yard to ferment, because if you happen to have these pesky things called "neighbors" in your immediate vicinity, chances are that they will be calling the cops on you because they suspect you're hiding a dead body.
I maked one, my dad tasted it
Now my dad is a roman warrior
Garum, more or less, seems similar to the fish sauce almost ubiquitous to Vietnamese cuisine. I like it but many Americans I know do find it difficult to handle.
I like to think of vox as the million times better buzzfeed
never realized i was subbed to buzzfeed LOL
If you'd prefer unrefined, raw, fair trade, organic fish sauce can you just take a bite off the whole fish without any prep to speak of?
No, you need the intestines to break down the protein in the flesh into amino acids, which takes a long time. I believe what you're looking for is called "fish"
Riam It was a joke my friend.
Did you know: Worcestershire sauce is made by allowing anchovies, onions, garlic, and other spices to "mature" for months without refrigeration.
Why don't they show someone tasting it? Considering they didd spend the whole episode making it and talking about the flavour.
When I was in Vietnam I drove through the area where they ferment the fish sauce. Smelled disgusting, but tasted delicious.
This got my like just because of the sudden silence as the fish was sliced open XD
I have fish sauce in my fridge. I've never made it myself, but I imagine it is very similar to this.
I wonder if this video singlehandedly got Max Miller into making his subscriber-winning garum episode for Tasting History...
this is not a cooking show. this is VOX ideas worth spreading. It would have been great you tackle the philosophy of Martin Heidegger :D
Rotten and fermented stuff makes the best condiments, just take a look at how soy sauce and worcestershire are made as well.
Do a video on why certain music is deemed "good" based on an individual
This actually taste quite good.
If you want it cheap, just google "budu sauce" and buy it online.
Actual ketchup (the original) that dutch traders brought back to Europe was made of fish guts. It was only later that the recipe was changed to tomatos.
please continue to make roman cooking-themed buzzfeed parodies
I think we still use this now. I think its an older version of patis.
This is a historic video so not something buzzfeed has done chill
Malaysian loves dried fermented shrimps paste (Balachan)
So fish paste, herbs, and vinegar. That's pretty much what you put in a Caesar salad at least. Assuming it's to emulate garum.
not sure if it was the angle but please hold that knife better! also get a proper sharp one...that seemed rough. I wonder if the final result tastes fishy?? haha. I bet its very nutritious.
IIRC Worcestershire sauce, at least the original receipe.
Go, google it :-D
So... Asian fish sauce?
People are talking about how gross the fish guts are but I'm just thinking, "That wooden cutting board is gonna be super nasty if they let the blood sit on the board for too long. It's unsanitary as heck..."
If you've ever had Worcestershire sauce or fish sauce and thought this turned your stomach you should check out how those sauces you've eaten were made as well. I'm pretty sure that if the romans loved it so much then it must be ok
This almoost made me a vegetarian, thank god for the chicken!
Come on not eating meat is pretty awesome
Spoke like a vegetarian
eating meat is awesomer
i don't see the disgusting part im asian its not a big deal i eaten worst 😎
Like dog?
like snakes xo
+Michael Dante there is nothing wrong with eating a dog. It just like eating a cow.
like cats and dogs😂😂
+MacDaddy916onMC different for me.
Using a nuoc mam made with anchovies strikes the taste. It's perfect with spaghetti.
To add to the original taste, crush pepper, lots and lots of dried lovage, mint, coriander seeds and a bit of cumin and mix up the fish sauce with it.
It's actually comparable in its umami flavour to soy sauce, which in itself was just developed as a buddhist (= "vegan") alternative to fish sauce.
WOW!...BIG SURPRISE..Its like BUDU in kelantan, Malaisie..a slightley different version i'd say..but also from kind of unique fermented fish sauce, bit salty if in its pure form but Deliciously eaten as a dip for grilled fish and white rice. Fantabulous! Wonder how does this GArum taste?..anyone?
i saw the thumbs up on the thumbnail thinking it was howtobasic's thumbs up at every end of the video..
Keep to though provoking, unbiased news, Vox; not this. Please don't turn into Buzzfeed.
I just subscribed, and you're already turning into buzzfeed.
Making garum yourself? Ever tried making ketchup yourself? Yeah- you need to wash your hands and cry for a while; I know. Life is hard.
its also popular here in southeast asia. {specially the island nations or those near the sea.) we also have different methods and names for it.
I really want to try Garum now XD
Oh and my Latin 2 Teacher said we couldn't use actual fish guts for the Roman dining project we did 2 years ago
Before reading the comments I already knew they were going to compare Vox with Buzzfeed
Roman Garum versus the modern day Vietnamese Nuoc Mam.
They both mean the same thing: Fish Sauce
Fish Sauce..... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_sauce
People still eat this all the time.... I'm not sure why they named this video this or pretend like this is stunning information...
Why does this sound good...
Fun fact: Actually fermenting garum smells like keeping a rotting corpse in your back yard. Because, ya know, rotting fish guts.
So maybe don’t do this if you live in the suburbs next to a bunch of neighbors
man that is not how you gut a fish !
it's not a critasisme I'm just saying
+thoracic hare you butchered the spelling of criticism
Predictive text lol
Felt buzzfeedish, but I still found it super interesting!
