A Typical Roman's Food for the day:
Breakfast - This would be eaten early, probably as soon
as the sun rose and would include bread and fresh fruit.
Lunch - Probably taken around noon. Lunch was only a
small meal as it was thought a large meal would make one
fall asleep in the afternoon. It would include some of the
following - a little cooked meat - ham or salami, salad,
cheese, hard-boiled eggs, vegetables and bread.
Dinner - This would begin at about four in the afternoon
and could continue into the night. The starter would be
either a salad or dish of small fish. The main course of fish,
cooked meat and vegetables would be served next.
The dessert would consist of fresh fruit and cheese.
Sometimes small cakes sweetened with honey would
be served.
