Answers:
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
CeleryWww@FoodAQ@Com

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

Olives
Grapes
Bread (I believe the romans actually put CHALK in their bread dough at one time, but I don't know why)
Cheese
dried hamWww@FoodAQ@Com
