My mother once hosted a read-through of Julius Caesar, and I found some ancient Roman recipes to make for the occasion. In the end, I decided that finding spelt flour was too much of a nuisance and the guests would probably prefer little cakes made with ordinary wheat flour.

Though on the down side, my father can't eat it, if the Wikipedia article can be trusted. (He has wheat allergies, and regularly eats bread products made of spelt.)

Spelt is everywhere. They sell emmer at Whole Foods, in small vacuum-sealed packages labeled Farro and subtitled Triticum dicoccon. I did not know this until yesterday.
My father wants to know when I'm moving on to glires.
