I've found no better way to do so that tasting the foods that they would have eaten.

This recipe comes from the ancient Roman cookbook attributed to Apicius. It is the sort of beef dish that would have been served to the Emperor Commodus. Unfortunately for him, his mistress added poison to it which, in addition to being strangled, led to his untimely death. Link to recipe in the comments.

MARILLENKNÖDEL
19th Century Austrian Apricot Dumplings

Ferdinand I of Austria was
Emperor in name only. Incredibly in**ed, Ferdinand had various disabilities and ailments that affected his ability to rule, though it's said that he spoke five languages and was very witty. As the empire was run by others, not much is written about Ferdinand's rule, but one thing that he did do as emperor was to demand dumplings at every meal.

And I can see why; they're absolutely delicious. The apricots are sweet and juicy, the dough is soft, and the crunchy exterior of breadcrumbs, butter, sugar, and cinnamon is wonderful.

If you lived in the 19th century, you had the opportunity to get a dog-powered butter churn. I feel like my cats would never be game to do this.
