Bartolomeu Dias, the Portuguese explorer known for being the first European to sail around the southern tip of Africa, likely consumed a diet typical of 15th-century sailors. This would have included hardtack (a type of dry biscuit), salted meat, dried fish, and legumes, supplemented by any fresh produce or fish caught during voyages. Fresh water was crucial, but often scarce, leading to the consumption of beer or wine when available. Overall, the diet was basic and designed for long journeys at sea.
