Helping to understand the dishes that might popular with the citizens of Pompeii, a supposed fast food eatery in the Roman city was unearthed.

Massimo Osanna, the longtime chief of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, while some 80 eateries were found at the city following the volcanic explosion, this is the first thermopolium to be completely unearthed

A part of the counter was dug up in 2019. Since then, multi-sided counters wide holes inserted into its top, which purportedly held deep vessels for hot food. The counter features an image of an undersea nymph astride a horse on one side, while two upside-down mallards and a rooster are featured on another.

An initial analysis had shown that the containers had duck bone fragments along with goats, pigs, fish and snails.

One of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which is near present-day Naples. Much of the ancient city still lies unexcavated.
