Only wealthier people in ancient Greece could afford to make their own bread with real wheat. Poorer people had to buy their bread instead of making their own bread, and the bread they bought was made with barley instead of wheat. Before they put the kneaded dough in the oven the ancient Greeks would heat the oven in advance with sticks of wood.Clay OvensBack to Room 1Name of MuseumVIRTUAL MUSEUM OF NATIVE AMERICAN WOMENDAILY LIFEFAMOUS WOMENMATRILINEAL TRIBESCREATION MYTHSCURATOR INFORMATIONBread and Olive OilBack to Room 1A lot of people in ancient Greece ate bread and olive oil because they were the few crops that grew well enough to harvest and then eat. The ancient Greeks also ate a lot of grapes (grapes were also another crop that grew well in the stony soil of ancient Greece). Because there were so many grapes, the Greeks turned them into wine. The Greeks only drank wine when it was watered down. People thought that drinking wine with no water was barbaric. The ancient Greeks also ate wild lettuce, wild onions, and wild garlic.

It was extremely easy to catch since Greece is a peninsula (meaning that it has three sides of water surrounding it). Sailors from the Greek islands would bring fish back to the middle of Greece(where there wasn't a lot of water to catch fish) and trade with other people for it. Since fresh fish was expensive poorer people would buy dried or salted fish. Ancient Greeks would also eat dried or smoked fish with bread, boiled eggs, and goat cheese for lunch.

These crops were the few that grew well in the stony soil of ancient Greece. In the winter months the ancient Greeks ate food that were harvested food in the fall and then carefully stored away. The foods that were harvested in the fall were apples, chestnuts, lentils, and goat cheese.

Instead they used a pan and cooked their food over a fire), and simmered their food (the ancient Greeks simmered their food by cooking their food in a pan over hot charcoals).
