>>17971045>>17971074IDK if it's true in rome too, but evidence in pompeii (and a bunch of other yuro cities during the middle ages) shows that in cities it was common for homes to not have kitchens and most of the population to eat at local kitchens or taverns because it makes way more sense from both a resource allocation and safety standpoint to have all the cooking done in a handful of locations for a bunch of people than have everyone make food at home with their own fires and shit

>>17971127Oh.I thought I was looking at communal toilets.

Imagine what it would be like if the romans had potatoes and maize, the plebs would've gone crazy for loaded french fries
>>17971171Its hard to imagine a world without potatoes and tomatoes at this point.
>>17971074OP is talking about Thermopolium, which were the Ancient Roman equivalent of fast food restaurants. The holes in the counter of that pic originally would likely have been used to hold bowl that were filled with various fried foods (yes Romans fried things in Olive Oil) although Roman slop would've been things like fried bugs, since real meat would've been too expensive and this was shit designed to appeal to the average plebian.

>>17971127What? I've visited pre-Roman settlements, Rome ruins and medieval shit, AFAIK most of the houses were built around the kitchen, weren't they?
>>17973789>Most people in the city of Rome lived in apartment buildings (insulae) that lacked kitchens, though shared cooking facilities might have been available in ground-level commons areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_in_ancient_RomeMaybe for the rich, but the poor lacked kitchens in their homes and if they had a kitchen at all it was shared for the whole apartment building instead of being in the individual apartment
