Spartan men ate a soup made from pigs' legs and blood, known as black soup. Boys were given a minimal diet because they thought that would train them to work on an empty stomach. Athens and the rest of Greece were noted for a more varied diet and those that could afford it were gourmet eaters.
Breakfast was usually bread dipped in wine. Lunch was often the same with the addition of figs, salted fish, and olives. Dinner was the large meal with eggs, cheese, fish, breads, and vegetables. Only the wealthy could afford meats.
