Food

The Ancient Greeks ate a lot of fish because they were close to the sea. They grew lots of fruit, like figs, olives, corn and grapes. Goats were kept as pets and sources of milk and cheese. Milk was not kept as a drink but as a source of cheese. They never ate tame animals unless they were sacrificed for a god. They had some wheat growing farms. In cook shops all they would sell is meat for sacrifice and celebrations. Because sugar was unknown to the Greeks they used honey as a natural sweetener. Dinner was the biggest meal they ate and they ate honey cake afterwards. They had male only parties where food was only ate with fingers they said it gave them the full flavour of food. The Greeks now have a reputation for not using sugar a lot and being the best tasters for wine.
