They choose that because they like it and it’s affordable. It took decades of science and cultural shift for us to hate the cheap and tasty food we criticize today. A luxury that wealthy people can indulge in.

it's so wild how it doesn't matter how much things change, they stay the same.

Further, post-processual archaeology (from around 1980s) imo is where the common people's lives increasingly became a focus of interest in of itself and not just a means to find answers to questions (i.e. what was the scope of the Maya settlements and interconnected trade?), but the focus of the question itself (i.e. what governed the lives of the Maya people?). Museums and projects dedicated to the subject has only really been projected to a wider audience in the last 2 decades or so in my experience. But that's just my thoughts from the top of my head :]

Dentistry was quite advanced. Only lacking in anasthetic. A bad tooth would be removed by biting hard on a peppercorn until the tooth shattered. Archaeologists have discovered metal crowns screwed into place, replacement teeth bridged between two others with metal bars and even removable dentures. The replacement teeth would be harvested from unfortunate slaves and prisoners. In medeival times people would chew on alkaline plants after a meal to neutralise acid and clean plaque; I don't know about Roman records of doing this but they likely did something similar.

I remember reading they found archeological ruins of a fast-food place with a "drive-in", where you could ride up with a window.

@@Goldsrc17 Yes and no, or pairs of words with a similar word, are affirmative and negative expressions in a variety of languages, including English, respectively. Some languages ​​distinguish between affirmative and negative responses; instead, they can have three or four form systems. English originally used the four-figure system up to and including Early Middle English, but modern English has reduced it to a two-figure system of only "yes" and "no". It occurs in many aspects of communication, such as: blinking communication, head movements, Morse code, and sign language. Some languages, such as Latin, do not have a yes-no word system. Some languages ​​do not answer "yes" with some words that mean "yes" or "no". Welsh, Finnish, and Chinese are among the languages ​​that typically use the echo response (repeating a verb in an affirmative or negative form) instead of using the words "yes" and "no", although these languages ​​may also have matching words very similar to "Yes and No" . Echo's answers avoid asking what an unadorned simulation means in response to a negative question. While that answers the question "You don't like strawberries?" is ambiguous in English, the Welsh Jewish answer (I am) is unambiguous. The word yes and cannot be easily classified into any of the eight conventional parts of speech. While they are sometimes classified as exclamation points, they are not classified as such [fact or opinion?] And are not adverbs. Sometimes they are classified as part of speech per se, sentences or pro-sentences, although this category includes more than yes and no, and not all linguists include them in their sentence list. Phrases consisting of only one of these two words are classified into short sentences.

I am from Indonesia and from what has been explained in the video. I can see an almost exact similarity of how Roman Tabernae operates with something here in Indonesia called "Warung Makan"; (lit: Meal Store [as in Store where you buy something and not storage]) commonly translated as Eatery. Its a very different establishment than a Restaurant or Fast Food joint yet I see absolutely close similarity to the Tabernae. A Warung Makan are common in Urban Areas like cities, but some rural areas may have those too. They are often Attached to a House or a Tenement much like the Taberna. They also have somewhat similar layout with food displayed in the counter for the customers to choose for, and like Tabernae, these place served mostly the plebes but may also serve the Middle and Mid-Upper classes, only seldomly when the place is very eloquent they serve the Upper class. They also serve, well, basically fast food because the food are already made and are displayed in front of the counter and are often only very lightly heated with candles or heating elements. As said because they are presented in front of the customer, most of the menus and prices are communicated instead of written. There are a lot of Varieties of Warung Makan that indicates which kind of cooking and from what region the dish will be, such as Warung Tegal which serve dishes from city of Tegal in the Northern part of Central Java, Warung Sunda which serves Sundanese dishes originated from East Java, or Warung Padang that serves food from Padang Region in West Sumatra. I cannot find any English documentation or references for it but here are the Indonesian version of Wikipedia regarding some or the Variations of Warung makan id.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumah_makan_Padang id.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warung_tegal I am new to this channel and absolutely fascinated by this fact of Romans were having the same "fast food" culture as most Indonesians

Honestly, the street food culture is very similar to India and some parts of the developing world. Alcohol isn't sold like that, rest of it is very similar. For dearer folk, it makes sense that meat might not be the prime cuts, but bony pieces, intestine, etc. Also, if you're really poor and live in wooden huts, buying food is safer than cooking your own food. Asafoetida is still used across South Asia. It's mostly grown in Afghanistan and is sold in tiny boxes, heavily diluted with flour, so as to make it easier to use. You want to use it sparingly because although not too cheap it's got an aggressive flavour. My grandma had a measure for it, less than a pinch- about the size of a housefly's wing. I do love history, and I enjoy cooking, hence sharing. Sorry if I'm offending any of you. Salve!

Might be they took it to one of these places, and bartered with it to get something like porridge, something like I'll take the grain and give you 90% of what you gave me as porridge, while I keep the rest for coin paying customers. After all, they essentially have their food in giant heated vats, so adding new portions to them would be standard practice. Since a lot of poorer people probably didn't handle coins day to day except for perhaps paying a landlord, barter would be a normal payment method for lower class businesses.
