Imagine sitting down for dinner in first-century Galilee without a fork or a fast-food burger in sight. You would likely be dipping crusty barley bread into a bowl of savory lentil stew. (Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of red lentil stew...)
Life was much slower then, revolving around the seasons and the harvest for basic survival. Food was fuel, but it was also the center of community and deep religious celebration.
Sharing a meal meant sharing your life with neighbors and family members in a very real way. Let’s look at what was actually on the menu for a carpenter living in Nazareth. It was not about fancy ingredients, but rather fresh, local produce grown in the rocky soil. You might be surprised by how healthy and simple his daily diet really was.

Charoset is a sweet, fruit-and-nut paste eaten during the Jewish Passover Seder to symbolize the mortar used by Israelite slaves in Egypt. - Wiki (a sweet apple mixture made with dates, nuts, and honey.)
All you can eat bread and fish.
And free wine....
Lentil soup over pasta with Italian bread and a olive oil garlic dip is our Friday dinner during Lent.
Jesus, being God, could probably have turned his lentil soup into a Big Mac any time he wanted.
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Great thread, thank you. I didn’t know Tilapia was known as St. Peter’s fish, among other things I learned reading that interesting article.
Meanwhile the northern Europeans had cattle at the same time providing meat,milk,leather,cheese,butter and draft labor. You can not just live but thrive on beef, butter,cheese and milk you don’t need a single other food source not one. Milk has all the vitamin C a human needs plus B6,B12 too. The lactose gene is a super power.
Scrapping out a living in the desert and scrub vs having lush green grasses as far as the eye can see for your cattle.and oxen.
We are not the same.
I would like to think He had better taste than that.
We have carafe shaped like that.
It’s a bear to clean.
Looks and works great though.
Never forget grains and tubers are peasants foods.
Meat and fat has always even what the nobility and upper class eats.
Bread is a measure of peasant food literally by the pound.
Beef, tallow, whole milk, cheese a human can not just live but thrive on this. I am nearing 50 I am 6 foot 1 , 185lb and under 12% body fat. The only grains I intake are the occasional Shiner Bock with BBQ. My cholesterol is perfect , I can run 3 miles in 22 min just under the PFT I passed at 17 at MCRD. I can pull up my body weight 25 times dead hang I challenge anyone to do this let alone near 50 I know the boomers can’t for sure. My resting heart rate is 58bpm. I don’t touch peasant foods or seed oils or any plant oils at that. My body and yours is turned to animal fat. Again the lactose gene is a super power full fat milk it is how God intended it fat is only a problem of you are lazy and done turn it into energy.
No mixing of meat and cheese...
They didn’t yave AI to generate a generic unreferenced blurb about putative diet 2 millennia ago. Wasted energy contributing to the heat death of the universe.
AI generic boring information.
Extra Virgin Organic California olive oil is staple here, Having it right now over steamed organic potatoes tucked in beside a nice sautéed Alaskan salmon steak.
.
Steamed organic veggies are delish with salt-free organic salad dressing made a few miles from me and available at Amazon. I buy a lot of great organic food there. And the pots I cook them in.
Eat well, save money.
I added the wikipedia blurb based on an archeology special about The Last Supper I watched on the History channel awhile back that mentioned it.
hyssop, charoset, etc...
Not even 50. When you’re 70 and can do that I’ll be much more impressed.
Nevertheless, keep it up....you might be on a great unique health trajectory. Don’t forget....things do change after 60 or so.
I never had lactase deficiency till much older. If you get it you will be very afraid of milk. Lots of bloating, stomach pain, cramping, mega-gas, and even the dreaded “diruh”. Be chewing lactase tablet very often...
P.S. my doctor BIL had perfect cholesterol too. Needed a perfect cardiac bypass surgery at 71....
Keep up the good work!

You’re welcome! I just learned that it was Tilapia today too. Thought it was a Pacific Ocean fish - for tacos :).
