    On Friday, November 19, I will recreate a flavor of what rich and fashionable Hellenistic Greek society might have eaten. 

    The menu includes, among others:
     ~ Myma, a luxurious spicy dish made with chopped meat of chicken or sacrificial animal, liver, offals, blood and flavoured by melted cheese and 12 kinds of herbs and spices.
    ~Roasted suckling pig stuffed with hen breasts, thrushes and eggs.
    ~Bulgur cooked in a well sealed clay pot.
    ~ A dish of wild greens and cultivated vegetables.
    ~Voletinos bread, milled with ancient variety of wheat and baked in a sort of “clivanos” (ancient Greek portable domed clay oven); flatbread and a soft bread said to be typical of Cappadocia.
    ~Plakous, a cake made with fine flour, home made goat cheese and honey.
    ~ Gastris: a Cretan specialty made of various toasted nuts and seeds mixed with honey.
