What is Ancient Greek Hoplite Diet Essentials about?
The ancient Greek diet consisted primarily of barley and fish like salt-fish or tunny. Salt-fish was a staple food that was preserved and imported in large quantities. Hoplites on campaign would carry rations of salt-fish, onions, and other non-perishables. While their diet was basic, Greeks used sauces and seasonings to add flavor. One recipe from the ancient cookbook attributed to Apicius describes cooking salt-fish with onions, honey, vinegar and wine.
