Diet

In Jesus time a woman’s daily job was to prepare the food for her family. She had to....

• Grind grain and bake the bread
• Milk the animals and make the cheese
• Cook and cut the meat

A typical family, in jesus time, had always eaten two meals:

• Breakfast

A light/small meal that was to last until supper/dinner.

• Dinner- A large meal including, dairy, alcoholic beverages, vegetables and fruits,eggs and/or meat.

Meat

Fish was the most common meat eaten b a family in jesus time, but chicken came in second. As for red meat(beef and lamb) it was only eaten on very special occasions. As for pork and crustaceans(lobster and crab) they were ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN!!!!! and were never allowed to be eaten at that time.

Most foods were always boiled or stewed in a pot, always seasoned with solt or spices or garlic. Food was always sweetened using honey, syrups or even grapes.

When food had been served in was eaten by fingers but was still served in a bowl. they had no knives or any other cooking/eating utensils like the people of today do.
