During the city gang period, the diet of ancient Greeks was generally dominated by light taste and healthy design style. According to the ancient Greeks' thought of "moderation", the proper diet is the most suitable for the Greeks, and eating too little or overeating is not advocated. The dinner of the ancient Greeks was naturally toast. In addition to ordinary bread, the Greeks are now baking cakes and other fancy snacks, such as a kind called teganites(▽γαν? τη? ) pancake fruit. These are made of wheat flour, edible olive oil and pure honey, and are usually sprinkled with pure honey or cheese; In addition, Greeks will continue to eat moderate snacks, such as pickled olives, nuts and dried fruits (dried blueberries and honey figs).
In addition to dinner, the ancient Greeks also traded many ingredients, such as cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, and beans such as white kidney beans, Dutch beans, lentils, etc., and ordinary people often traded them.
In protein, the common meat products of the ancient Greeks came from fish, raw pork, birds and poultry, and the birds in the suburbs were all captured by the Greeks: thrush, blackbird, sparrow, lark, starling, partridge, sparrow bird and even cranes in the suburbs, as well as poultry.
In central Greece, there are many lakes and swamps in Thebes and alker Mino, and all kinds of fish are eaten by people. In coastal cities, some people take oysters, big conchs, cuttlefish and cuttlefish, all of which are Greek ingredients. Beef and corresponding dairy products (yogurt, cheese, whipped cream, etc. ) will be more common in the early Mycenae era and the dark ages. At that time, the ancient Greeks tended to be semi-nomadic, but by the time of the city-state, except Thessaly and Acadia, most of the Greek residents had turned to life, so unless you were in the city-state religious festivals or before and after the key wars, the ancient Greeks did not have many good opportunities to trade beef. If you want to eat meat, you must sacrifice it first, and then divide the meat products as tributes. However, in the city-state era, the development of dairy products such as cheese has been very rich in Greek transactions.
There are all kinds of food, and there are also all kinds of spices to flavor food. The common spices in those days were dill, fragrant lai, fennel, fennel, lettuce and cinnamon powder. In addition, there is a long-standing condiment on the murals of Minoan civilization: black grass.
In the field of beverages, wine was the most important beverage in ancient Greece. According to Greek myths and legends, it was first discovered by Dionysus. After accidentally drinking the juice, she found that a plant juice can make people think about singing and shouting, and it can also make people forget the worldly troubles for a short time. Then he passed on the secret to people, which is sweet white wine.
In Greek life, wine can not only be used as a food match, but also has a strong religious implication. Therefore, when they arrived in a new land, the Greeks would plant vines. If the colonists could not grow grapes, they would try their best to import red wine from other places. In spring, the Greeks would dig holes in the ground and put grape branches in for farming. In order to maximize land yield, farmers will also plant beans or wheat between vines. After three years, the vine will be fully developed and it will bear red grapes. In the case that strawberry fruit is about to be perfect, farmers should also cover the red grapes with dust, postpone the perfect time and improve the sugar content of strawberries. The perfect red raisins can be eaten directly, or they can be used for juicing, filling and selling.
