Ancient Romans of higher classes ate meat...the flesh of fowls, fish, and animals; though not as much of the latter! I've seen ancient cookery recipes, from ancient Roman times and they ate things like dormice, various cuts of pork, and chicken, with unsparing amounts of ghastly garum, which is a stinking ( as it smelled to high heaven )fermented fish sauce, made from fish innards, heads, tails, and stuff like that.
It’s amusing that the authors of a couple of those Roman recipe books of modern times are surname “Brothwell”. ;^)
#15. The foods you listed for the lower classes sounded like what we had to eat our first year of college. I wondered why they claimed it was “food for the gods” until I realized that I was going to TEMPLE University.
