Food
In the time of Jesus
Breakfast
The first meal of the day was not a big
meal. The family would eat bread and
cheese, and then have some fruit or olives.
Dinner
The main meal of the day was in the evening.
The women made a pot of stew with vegetables
or lentils.
Everyone would scoop food out of the pot using
a piece of bread.
Feast days
The Jewish people enjoyed many different feast
days and celebrations. On the feast days special
foods would be eaten, like sweet pastries.
The feasts were happy times where people came
together and sung and danced. Wedding feasts
went for many days.
Milk
In the time of Jesus people drank milk from
sheep, goats and camels. They used the milk to
make cheese and butter.
Meat
Most families didn’t usually eat meat. They had
meat on special feasts. The most common meat
was goat but they also ate lamb.
Wine
The main drink for adults in the time of Jesus
was wine. Grape juice was used to make wine.
The water was often not clean so the wine was
safer to drink.
