The main staple of Roman food was bread!. It depends!. The lower classes in Roman culture didn't have much of a selection!. The richer, upper classes had access to expensive ingredients and spices!. Here is a partial list of foods that the Romans had:
Carrots
Parsnips
Onions
Lamb
Lentils
Honey
Spelt

An interesting side note is that they also made "Garum" or roman fish sauce!. It was the basic seasoning used in much of their cooking and also used as a condiment!. A good example of it is the use of fish sauce or "nuoc mam" in vietnamese and thai cooking!. It adds a subtle flavor but really stinks by itself!Www@FoodAQ@Com
