The Greek diet consisted of foods that grew easily in Greece's rocky landscape, such as vegetables, fruit, fish, and honey. Meat was expensive and rarely consumed by most, except during religious festivals. Fish and seafood played a major role in the diet due to Greece's coastal geography. Bread was a staple food used to scoop up soups and clean hands before being discarded. Wine, watered down, was the main beverage, while milk was rarely consumed. Breakfast consisted of bread dipped in wine, and lunch was bread with wine or tea alongside small amounts of olives, cheese, or dried fish.
