Botŭlus
(ἀλλᾶς, φύσκη). A sausage; a favourite food of both Greeks and Romans, and sold in the streets and places of public resort by venders known as botularii (Mart. i. 42, 9). These sausages, like our own, were usually made of pork, cooked in a frying-pan, and eaten hot (Juv. x. 355; Petron. 31). Sausages were also made of the blood of animals, like the German Blutwurst (Tertull. Apol. 9). The name tomaculum is occasionally used for botulus, but rather means sausage-meat.
