Satura

2000 years ago
Honey, pomegranate seeds, 
pine nuts, raisins,
mixed into a cake,
made barley mash,
what an,
allergy crash
Middle ages, 
in throw,
fruitcakes with,
preserved fruit and,
spices were popular,
you know
From the 19th century,
fruitcake became a
traditional wedding hit
Christmas also
In England's
cake tin sit
New York Times,
Ancient Romans
Enjoyed Satura,
a substantial
cake capture,
speculation on the dish,
was preserving fruit,
really just,
on the list
