Rich Romans-
Breakfast consisted of salted bread, eggs, cheese, honey, milk and fruit.

Lunch would be the same thing as breakfast, but they would sometimes add meat, fish or a vegetable.

Dinner would have many courses. First, an egg dish, the main course would consist of some sort of meat ( if they were very rich, maybe a peacock or ostrich, or something exotic like sea urchins or raw oysters)

They enjoyed apples, dates, and nuts.

They encorporated sauces like vinegar, honey, and exotic spices
