What would Jesus eat?
ha! And yet, I find the actual question rather interesting. I bet there are some food anthropologists out there who've answered that one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Checking The Food Chronology, which I happen to have here at hand, and assuming Jesus's diet was basically Roman, he'd probably be eating mostly bread, barley gruel, olives, wine, fish, and poultry. I recall fish, wine, and bread being mentioned in the Gospels.
This is interesting. Apparently, the Romans loved asparagus and considered a meal sub-par without it, and Roman foodies were all about the artichoke. They also used a lot of spices, and salted *everything*, including wine. Salt was used in the cheese-making process, and to make bread rise, and to preserve meat. I can't fathom the desire to salt their wine, though. I've read elsewhere that they watered down the wine with seawater; don't know if that's true.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Oopsie.
That's the second time I've run across a story on PZ's blog that turned out to be many years old....

There was some kind of wacky religious group that ran this hotel in Philadelphia my parents stayed at once (ON SEPARATE FLOORS), where they said "Peace" instead of "hell! oh" when answering the phone, etc.
Did this strange religious group wear paisley and smell of patchouli?
