Ancient Greek Food
Hey everyone. I've got a class project coming up involving ancient
Greece, and my team's been assigned the banquet. Does anyone know any recipes or resources for Greek food from the days of yore (we're talking Socrates/Plato days of yore)? I've been able to find stuffed grape leaves, melon salads, and goat & feta cheese, but my list ends there. Thanks! -Sheehan |

May be in your library network. Have Fun. Bill ......................... Neat stuff here too. http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/.../greekfood.htm Food, for the Greeks, had all sorts of religious and philosophical meaning. The Greeks, to begin with, never ate meat unless it had been sacrificed to a god, or had been hunted in the wild. They believed that it was wrong to kill and eat a tame, domesticated animal without sacrificing it to the gods. Even with vegetables, many Greeks believed that particular foods were cleaner or dirtier, or that certain gods liked certain foods better than others. The Pythagoreans, for example, would not eat beans. But even if you were not a Pythagorean, the Greeks tended to think of the god Dionysos whenever they drank wine (which was often), and to think of Demeter and Persephone whenever they ate bread. The Greeks ate mainly the Mediterranean triad, wheat (or barley or millet), wine, and olive oil. They also grew vegetables, especially legumes (lentils, beans, peas, chickpeas). Possibly they ate more fish than most other Mediterranean people. Also, because of their feelings about sacrificing meat, they may have eaten meat less than other people did. -- Garden Shade Zone 5 S Jersey USA in a Japanese Jungle Manner.39.6376 -75.0208 This article is posted under fair use rules in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C.
