A recently unearthed ancient Roman restaurant in Pompeii shows what it was like to eat fast-food in 79 AD

At least 80 of these fast food shops have been found in Pompeii so far, but this site was the first to be excavated intact.Restaurants have battled each other with breakfast offerings for years. In 2021, they'll have a new competitor — big food companies.The counter has frescoes that remained intact, showing some animals that were served, including chicken and ducks, like a modern menu with pictures today.The rooster was painted in "Pompeiian red," typical of art at the time.

Most of the menu was designed to be eaten on the go, a convenience necessary for many poor Romans who lacked kitchens."Initial analyses confirm how the painted images represent, at least in part, the foods and beverages effectively sold inside," staff anthropologist Valeria Amoretti told the AP.Remains of ducks, goats, pig, fish, and snails were all found, indicating the type of food available.
