Best Answer

Cheese, bread, honey cakes, barley mush, olives, fish, eggs, peas, lentils, onions, cabbage, pomagranates, figs, apples, Pears, squid, octopus, wild deer, boar, hare, birds, chicken, donkey, and celery. They rarely ate pork and beef, like on special occations. They would drink watered down wine, beer, honey mead, and kykeon (barley gruel in water, sesoned with herbs and goat cheese. to flavor their food they used fresh herbs, olive oil, honey, salt, cilantro, dill, mint, pepper, oregano, saffron and thyme. Sugar and butter were not known to ancient greeks. For something sweet they would have Semolina pudding, Sesame honey candy, or a Fruit Platter which included, honeyed wine, nuts, anf fruit (fresh and dryed).
