Illustrated Companion to the Latin Dictionary, and Greek Lexicon (Rich, 1849)

APALA'RE or APPLA'RE. A description of ladle or spoon, more particularly intended for cooking or handing round soft boiled or perhaps poached eggs (Gloss. Isid.); though it was also employed for other purposes. (Auson. Epist. xxi.) The illustration (Apalare/1.1) is copied from an original of bronze found in a kitchen at Pompeii, which, it is believed, affords a specimen of one of these implements.
