BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 There is at least 1 similar location in the part of Pompeii that is open to visitors. (been there, done that) Blackfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Gee, why can’t the reporter just say “cafeteria style street dining” instead of this: Traces of nearly 2,000-year-old food were found in some of the deep terra cotta jars containing hot food which the shop keeper lowered into a counter with circular holes. I wonder, do reporters get paid by the word hence some really silly reporting? For some reason the picture of the counter didn’t pop up right away on my phone so I was imagining some apparatus lowering huge crock jars from a second floor into holes into a huge counter of some type. Regardless, Thank you for posting this, Joe. I have always been fascinated by Pompeii. When I was in the Navy and we went to Italy I didn’t get to go to Pompeii as I had always wanted due to shipboard responsibilities, a lack of funds and Pompeii was closed to the public on one visit to Naples.

I think the report that the setup used terra cotta jars in counters with holes conveys a lot more interesting information than 'cafateria-style street dining' does....

Chief Rick Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I visited Pompeii once back in 2007. A fairly quick MWR tour so you didn't get to spend a lot of time there. Either the site has been closed or travel restricted for most of this year. I did manage to ride up Mount Vesuvius but I've not visited Pompeii or Herculaneum. Hope to visit both before I transfer back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
