Jusselle

Jusselle was an ancient[1] broth-based soup dish prepared using grated bread, eggs, sage and saffron.[2][3][4] The ingredients were all boiled together in the broth.[2]

## Origin[edit]

The dish is believed to have originated from the dish juscellum in Ancient Roman cuisine, which was included in Apicius,[2] a Roman recipe book that is believed to have been written in the late 4th or early 5th century. In Latin, juscellum or juscullum is "a diminutive from jus, broth or pottage",[5] and is also a late Latin diminutive word for "soup".[6] The Sicilian name for the dish sciusceddu is based upon the word juscellum.[a]
