I've always been very interested in food history.
Did ancient Romans have street food or anything that could be purchased quick and easy on the streets of Rome or other cities? What would it be and what would it look or possibly taste like?
Thanks.
If you ever go to Herculaneum or Pompeii, you'll see lots of houses with counters and tureens at the front. If you go on a tour, the tour guide will explain that since houses in Ancient Rome typically didn't have kitchens, almost all food was purchased at these establishments.
Even wealthy Romans didn't have kitchens and would instead hire food halls to entertain guests.
