Origin

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. [lower-alpha 1]
