Wes,
Have you read Christian Koepfer's article about Roman foods in the latest issue of Ancient Warfare magazine. It has a few ideas on foodstuffs and how to make a few simple items.
Myself...I usually have simple items such a cheese (homemade..not yellow), unlevened wheat breads, olives, apples, dried fruits, and for meat, salted pork (not the stuff you buy at the store, real brine soaked pork) and for a special meal, beef or oxen steaks.
If you really want to try an interesting meal, try hedgehog (I havn't tried this one though...):
