Best Answer

The Ancient Athenians would have eaten a variety of food. A significant part of their diet would have been lacto vegetarian including varieties of hearth bread and fresh cheeses. Meat was eaten but not as an everyday dish and the remains of ceremonial meat offerings to the Gods may have been consumed by the religious class. Fish would have been much consumed as in present day Greece. Grapes were widely grown for wine making (the Greeks customarily watered down their wine at table and a specific pottery vessel , a krater, a large shallow bowl was used for this and is a common find on Greek archaeological sites.

Potatoes, tomatoes and chilli peppers were unknown as they originate in the Americas and great seamen though they were the Athenians did not cross the Atlantic. WHAT UP PEOPLES!!????!!!!!!!!!!?!????! THIS ISN'T THE PERSON THAT WROTE THIS BTW.

Mainly bread, with olive oil, vegetables, fruit, and chicken and fish made into sauces. They might get some beef on feast days if a rich benefactor provided an ox as a sacrifice.
