Ancient Roman Lunch


Friday in my English class, we had to do a project. The project i picked was a Roman lunch or as they called it Prandium. For my project I had to create a power point about roman lunch and prepare a dish based off of roman food. For my power point, i showed all of the food and drinks they ate and drank which included: bread, olives, fruit, nuts, salad, cheese, cold meat, and watered down wine. I learned that the reason the ate cold meat was because the meat was left over from the night before. I also learned that they ate lunch at 11 a.m. and then after would have a resting time. And when eating lunch the wealthy men would eat laying on a couch on their sides and the women and lower class would eat sitting in chairs. And everyone would eat by using their hands except when eating soup. In that case they would eat with spoons. Then for my food that i brought in i took cold meat, cheese, olives, and white grape juice for white wine. This was a fun project and i would recommend it because you learn a lot while doing it. And also below i have posted a link of my food project.
