rich peoples food
Rich Romans would have large dinner parties, and the meals (prepared by the slaves) would go on for a long time. The meals had many courses, with strange and exotic foods like: grilled swan, crow, other birds, snails and dandelion leaves. They also had a special room called a ‘vomitorium’ were they would go and spew up their food when they were full, and of course they’d go and eat more and more!
poor/ordinary peoples food
The ordinary/poor Romans usually ate food like bread, wine, (which was usually watered down) olives and olive oil. They bought these fro markets and they bought their hot food from street sellers.
