Part 3/12:
Just last month, a remarkable thermopolium was unearthed in Pompeii, adding to the roughly 90 similar establishments previously discovered in the region. This particular find offers invaluable insights into Roman culinary practices, as it contained food remnants still preserved in ancient containers. Archaeologists identified a variety of delectable ingredients that would have been served on the fateful day of the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, including duck, goat, pig, fish, and notably, snails.
