What did ancient poor Romans eat for lunch?

Answer 1

Poor Romans usually ate food that they were able to grow like onions. The poorest of the Romans would eat porridge and bread for morning breakfast. If the family had enough money they would probably buy wine and vegetables for a midday meal their last meal of the day would be anything they could find of the remaining from yesterday or even last week.

This is all true but poor Romans also ate soup. Poor Romans did not drink wine or eat veggies. All they could afford was soup and bread and porridge sometimes.

Answer 2

Bread, Meat, Vegetables etc.

All of these things were not highly desirable or expensive, they were the plain types of foods therefore did not cost much.

They could also buy their own wheat to make bread.
