Poor people mainly ate barley porridge flavoured with onions, vegetables, and cheese or olive oil. Few people ever ate meat regularly, except for the free distributions from animal sacrifices at state festivals. Sheep when eaten was mutton,Philochorus relates that a prohibition was issued at Athens against anyone tasting lamb which had not been shorn. Bakeries sold fresh bread daily, while small stands offered snacks. Wine diluted with water was a favoured beverage.

Well in my Latin book for school I have a typical Roman dinner but i'm not sure if it is the same but I think it was in ancient times. It says the meal began with a first course of light dishes to whet appetite. Eggs, fish, and raw vegetables were often served. Then came the mean course in which a variety of meat dishes with different sauces and vegetables would be offered. Beef, pork, mutton, and poultry were all popular, and in preparing them the cook would do his best to show off his skill and imagination. Finally, the dessert was brought in, consisting of fruits, nuts, cheese, and sweet dishes. During the meal, wine produced locally from the vineyards on Mount Vesuvius was served, usually mixed with water. Women were expected to drink sparingly.
