Eat like the romans
Ancient Romans ate little for breakfast (ientaculum) and lunch (prandium). They ate at 4pm a big meal. Poor people could not afford their own kitchen. Rich people hired a chef and slaves as kitchen hands. When Ancient Romans had parties, an average party consisted of 9 people, in parties, Ancient Romans would lie down on a couch to eat. The rich people ate: olives, fresh fruit like figs, grapes, asparagus, quail's eggs, wine (mixed with water making it have a light colour), baked cheese covered in honey, fish, shellfish, gustatio and promulsis (raw vegetables) and sweet pastries. The poor people ate porridge, bread with meat and vegetables. Ancient Romans also ate cereals and bread with honey and cheese.
At parties, Ancient Romans served good wine, then served cheaper wine assuming that the guests were drunk and would not notice. Ancient Romans would occasionally eat outside if the weather was good. There were snack bars called thermopolium. One thermopolium was owned by Vetutius Placidus. Ancient Romans used spoons and knives, but ultimately used their hands to eat.
