Meals were really different then they are now in ancient Greece. For one thing, they didn't have eating utensils. The ancient Greeks ate with their hands or using bread as a napkin or spoon. Also, drinking milk, or wine that was not watered down was considered barbaric. Men and women ate their meals separately. White sugar was not yet invented, so the Greeks used honey as their main scorch of sweetening. Since the Greeks lived in a large peninsula fish was their main source of protein. In ancient Greece beef was very expensive. Greek people ate a lot of vegetables, especially lentils, chickpeas, green peas, and other beans. There were limited amounts of good soil and cropland in ancient Greece. Some historians estimated that only 20% of the land was usable for growing crops!
