WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Typical dishes served at a thermopolium would have included salty fish, baked cheese, lentils, and spicy wine, according to the Guardian. (One jar apparently still smelled strongly of wine when archaeologists first discovered it.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Popular but costly fare included pheasant, thrush (or other songbirds), raw oysters, lobster, shellfish, venison, wild boar, and peacock. Foods that were forbidden by sumptuary laws, such as fattened fowl and sow’s udders, were flagrantly consumed at the most exclusive feasts.

Detailed explanation-3: -What could a hungry Roman in a hurry expect to carry out? Meats, cheeses, lentils, olives, vegetables, and eggs were all on the menu. For extra flavor, the customer could add garum, a fish sauce ancient Romans put on everything-kind of like how we use ketchup. Hot drinks were also for sale.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Romans primarily ate cereals and legumes, usually with sides of vegetables, cheese, or meat and covered with sauces made out of fermented fish, vinegar, honey, and various herbs and spices.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wikipedia: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, a thermopolium (plural thermopolia), from Greek (thermopōlion), i.e. cook-shop, literally “a place where (something) hot is sold”, was a commercial establishment where it was possible to purchase ready-to-eat food.
