Bread and other grain-based products was the mainstay of the diet of the Roman poor. For dinner they ate the puls, a sort of porridge. The simplest kind would be made from emmer, water, salt and fat. The more sophisticated kind was made with olive oil, with an accompaniment of assorted vegetables when it could be afforded
Anywhere they could find something to eat, sometimes at home if they had a home at all, otherwise where they found the food. Only richer Roman homes had a kitchen. Food stalls selling prepared hot food were everywhere and most people either ate at the counter or brought it home ready to eat.
Roman diet was relatively simple for most Romans: bread, porridge, pancakes, fried fish, some greens like carrots and - only on occasion - meat, mostly of rabbits and other animals caught in the fields. Butchered meat was only for the rich. And fruit that was in season, like figs and apples.
If you were poor in those times, you ate what you could lay your hands on: the above ingredients, but fewer and often of worse quality.
