All You Can Eat

For most people in ancient Rome, grain or corn and oil and wine were staples in their diets. Cereals were also staples and they were made from husked wheat made into porridge. Naked wheat was later made into bread, which was the most often eaten food in ancient Rome. It was sometimes sweetened with honey or cheese and eaten along with sausage, domestic fowl, game, eggs, cheese, fish, or shellfish. Fruits and nuts were also very popular.
