In Polypus Fur: A Latin Novella, Apicius is the guardian of a warehouse filled with pickled fish. He’d much rather be a cook than guarding a bunch of angry merchants’ fish. He’s not a cook though. So when an eight-armed thief starts stealing all the pickled fish, Apicius has to rise to the occasion and defend the warehouse. And he’s most definitely not up to this challenge.
