Welcome back! Thank you for taking a peek into my blog! I have been researching a lot about Greek food, and I bet you know this, but they love to eat. You better not be going into their fridges and stealing their food. Luckily, the Greek diet was extremely healthy.
The Greeks had a very healthy diet that contained grains like wheat and barley, fruit like grapes and figs, and vegetables like olives, green beens, lentils and chick peas. Greeks grew their own foods, and they either ate them or made things out of them. For example, the Greeks grew their own olives and made olive oil. They also grew grapes and made their own wine out of them. The Greeks also ate animal products such as meat and fish. However, the Greeks only ate meat on special occasions such as holidays. Greeks were very different from us today. They had to grow their own foods and they did not have supermarkets. Greeks were farmers and they grew things in there farms. They had grape vines and olive trees to grow there food. Their other fruits and vegetables were grown from trees, bushes, and vines as well. The Greeks kept animals like goats for dairy and cheese and animals for their meat. They mostly kept animals for milk and cheese, but occasionally killed animals for meat. However, the Greeks did not usually eat meat. They only ate it on holidays, which Socrates agreed with. Join me in my next post as I will talk to you about the religious restrictions of the Greek food. To learn more about the types of food that Greeks ate, look at the website that I used for this post: http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/food/greekfood.htm
