Ancient leftovers from Pompeii were found this month after archaeologists excavated a thermopolium, or snack bar. A soupy concoction of snails, sheep and fish appears to have been all the rage in 79 AD. https://nyti.ms/38GkhE2 https://nyti.ms/34KBafP

The discovery of a street food shop (“termopolium”) in Pompeii — with complete, colorful frescoes of what you can eat, like chicken and duck — is really mind-blowing. Pots even found containing traces of food from 79 A.D.pic.twitter.com/HCLyzNOwTC

Extraordinary frescoes of animals revealed on the side of the bar counter in
#Pompeii Region V that was partially excavated in 2019. The dog straining at the leash is incredible as the detail of the hen’s plumage. Two ducks await to be cooked. Photos: Luigi Spina |@pompeii_sitespic.twitter.com/sr0CCTmXDN

In true Pompeian style there’s a crude graffito scratched in the plaster possibly referring to the owner of the bar, a Greek called Nicia. It reads “Nicia cineade cavatore” that translates as “Nicia shameless shitter”. Got to love bar banter. Photo: Luigi Spina |

Roman Empire artifacts/finds often underscore how much things regressed in the Middle Ages: you wouldn't find a fresco'd (!!!) food stop in 1100's England but you WOULD one in Pompeii a millennium (!!!) earlier. Incredible.https://twitter.com/nycjim/status/1342849010994978817?s=20 …
