[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 998, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.foxnews.com/science/pompeii-shocker-ancient-fast-food-joint-unearthed'][B]Pompeii shocker: Ancient fast-food joint unearthed - Fox News[/B][/URL] I'll have a massive volcano blast... and a side of fries? Researchers have unearthed a new discovery at the ruins in Pompeii, an ancient eatery known as a thermopolium (akin to a modern-day snack bar), where patrons could get drinks and hot food. "Thermopolia were places where, as the name of Greek origin would suggest, drinks and hot foods were served, and these goods were stored in largedolia (jars) which were embedded in the masonry serving counter," a [URL='http://pompeiisites.org/en/comunicati/the-thermopolium-of-regio-v/']statement[/URL] detailing the discovery said. "Such establishments were located all over the Roman world, when it was common to go out to eat the prandium (meal). At Pompeii alone, there are around [80] of them." [/QUOTE]
