Ancient Egyptian and Roman Food
The two civilizations are amazing with the Food they used!
The Wonders of Ancient Egyptian Food
Ancient Egypt was a beautiful place and has lots of history but how did these people live with food? Lets found out! Ancient Egyptian food was mostly fruits and vegetables. The Nile played a BIG part in this civilization. The Nile was where the farmers lived and they cropped the food. Without the farmers of Ancient Egypt there would be basically not much food this civilization.
Ancient Egyptian hunting and Meat
The Ancient Egyptians had lots of fruits and vegetables but also had meat. They had a somewhat bug verity but not as much as the food from the Nile. They Egyptians could hunt for animals on the Nile because there is water. When there was a cow, goat, or fish drinking or swimming in the water they killed it for its meat. These people I don't know what their called but a do know that they must have lived on or near where they Nile river was.
Fish and Duck
The Ancient Egyptians stored their food in cold rooms so they don't spoil.
Nile River

Fish
One of Ancient Egyptians main food was fish. The fish obviously came from they Nile because that was their biggest water source.
Banquet
The Ancient Egyptians had big banquets with each other. The only problem was it was only the rich people. The kings, priest, government officials, and more were at those banquets.
Ancient Egyptian Drink
The Ancient Egyptians didn't have a big variety. They only had two types of drinks. These drinks were water and beer. Beer was one of the biggest drinks in the Ancient day. So was wine but only the rich people drank that. The beer was for everyone in Ancient Egypt.
The Find for Food in Ancient Rome
Ancient Rome didn't have much vegetables. They had lots of meat but only the rich people got to eat it. The poor got horrible food and were treated badly. Ancient Egypt at least gave descent food to their people especially the farmers and slaves. Ancient Rome was a royal place and vigorous. The rich people ate in odd ways. They laid in beds and picked the food up and ate it. Sometimes they let slaves feed them.
The Masses of Meat in Rome
Rome had lots of meat during its time. Sadly only the rich ate. The poor got jacked up vegetables and maybe no food at all. The rich got to have big banquets and were fed by slaves. The meat that they ate was fish, pork, chicken, mutton. These meats were used throughout their time period.
Pork
Pork was one of Egypt's most important meals. This meat helped a lot of rich people back in the ancient day. The rich people ate lots of other meats but this meat was now of the main meats.
Beef
This picture shows how one way the Ancient Romans ate. The food that they are easting is beef. They at lots of beef, pork, and fish. Beef came from the cows that the Ancient Romans had.
Fish
Fish has always been a big food especially in the Ancient days. Fish was eaten a lot because of the Nile. Rome also had fish but probably not as much as Ancient Egypt had.
