Roman Foods By Sarah The lower class Romans were called Plebeians and ate breakfast. They had bread, dry or dipped in wine or water, and sometimes they had olives, cheese, or raisins were sprinkled on bread. The upper class Romans were called Patricians and ate breakfast too. They enjoyed fresh meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, and bread. They used honey to sweeten foods or wine. They called honey passum. They did not have sugar because they did not know about it. They had slaves to cook and clean. Slaves cut their food for them. Patricians did use forks or knives, but they ate with their fingers and ate lying down. A wet towel was handy (or brought by a slave) to tidy up after a meal. The Romans ate lunch. They usually had a cold meal. They ate it at 11:00 AM. They had bread, salads, olives, cheese, fruit, nuts, and cold meat left over from dinner the night before. After lunch, the Romans enjoyed a midday rest or siesta. In the summer time, nearly everybody took a nap. Even kids got a two to three hour break from school for the siesta. After the siesta, the children returned to school and finished their school day. Romans ate dinner too. The Romans ate mostly vegetables and dined very simply. They sat on stools around the table. The Roman’s spoons are like ours today. Before the food was served, it was cut into finger food and are by fingers or the spoons.
