Part 8/8:
As we enjoy puls punica, a dish that encapsulates the history and culinary traditions of ancient Carthage, we’re reminded of Hannibal's far-reaching influence on Rome and the broader world. This unique porridge, while simple in preparation, offers a rich connection to a time when cultures clashed and flavors mingled across the Mediterranean.
So, as you venture through the remnants of ancient Carthage or simply enjoy a bowl of this porridge at home, remember the fierce general who, against all odds, defied a superpower and left an indelible mark on history. Whether a culinary experiment or a tale of strategic warfare, the legacy of Hannibal Barca inspires both the palate and the mind.
