There was a great difference between the food that the poor Romans ate and the food that the wealthy Romans had. Poor people ate very simple food. They survived on bread, porridge and a sort of vegetable soup with lentils, turnips, onions and beans. They might also eat local food like figs and olives. They rarely ate meat.

Rich Romans used food to show off how wealthy they were.

Kitchens Most houses had kitchen. It would have a charcoal fire and food was boiled or fried in bronze or earthenware containers. Bread was baked in the ashes of the fire. Some large houses might have special ovens built into the walls.

Dinner Parties Rich Romans served expensive and unusual food in order to show off. Strange food included delicacies such as dormice stuffed with pine kernels or boiled pigs udders and roast peacock. The more unusual the food, the more the guests were impressed.

BIRTH DATE: c. April 23, 1564 DEATH DATE: April 23, 1616 William Shakespeare was baptized April 26, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England.

From roughly 1594 onward he was an important member of the Lord Chamberlain’s Men Company of theatrical players.

Written records give little indication of the way in which Shakespeare’s professional life moulded his artistry. All that can be deduced is that over the course of 20 years, Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict.

ROTTEN ROMANs Sounds tasty!

Glires (Dormouse) Ingredients: 





50g chopped nuts

2 Dormice (or any kind of



mouse)

80g laser (or 6 garlic gloves)



50ml broth (or chicken stock cu-

500g forcemeat (sausage meat,

breadcrumbs and dormouse trim-  mings)

be) Olive oil for frying

Method: 

Gut and skin the dormouse. Finely chop any trimmings and reserve (if using chicken cut a pocket in the breast large enough to hold the stuffing).

Add any meat trimmings to the forcemeat. Meanwhile add the nuts, laser

(or garlic cloves) and pepper to a mortar and use a pestle to create a smooth paste. Add the chopped meat to this and mix thoroughly. 

Pour in a little of the broth and a drizzle of olive oil on this and mix well.

Use this meat mixture to stuff the dormouse (chicken breast).



The dormice (chicken breasts) can be prepared by either roasting in an oven at 180°C for 20–25 minutes or by boiling in broth for 30–40 minutes.



If using chicken breasts place these on a plate with the fat (tail) ends facing inwards. Decorate the narrow (head) end with currants for eyes and chives for whiskers to make them look more mouse-like. (Such artifices were actually quite common in early cooking.)
