Le monde gallo-romain 8

The hearth was typically a brazier that could be placed either inside or outside the home. Slow cooking was done using ceramic pots set in front of the fire. For faster cooking, the Gallo-Romans used a grill. Frying pans were already known, allowing food to be boiled, roasted, or simmered.
The diet was based on meat, cereals, legumes, dairy products, and fruits, whose cultivation intensified with Romanization. The Gallo-Romans likely followed Roman eating habits, with a light breakfast and lunch, and the main meal in the evening.
Guests would help themselves from shared dishes using their fingers or spoons. Metal tableware and decorated terra sigillata indicate the presence of a wealthy social class.
