Show Legend About Beefsteaks Tradition has it that the Roman emperor em-peror Trajan ordered Lucius Plaucus. a senator, to aid in the duty of offering offer-ing sacrifices to Jupiter. The senator sena-tor thought that the work was beneath . his dignity. He refused to obey, but was dragged to the altar. . While the .x that was sacrificed to the heathen god was being roasted, the senator in contempt tore off a piece of the meat and ate It. To his surprise It was ' very palatable. He cut other slices and broiled them for the slaves who were present. From that moment the . Komnns "began to like "beefsteak." and before long the old styles of Bo-man Bo-man cookery gave way to the Tlaucn. style. |
