Talking about cuttlefish, I came across this interesting news item on the
BBC website today - they are describing a new restaurant in Athens that aims
to serve only classical Greek food:
"After two years of research, the chefs at the Archaion Gefsis (Ancient
Tastes) restaurant say they have managed to reconstruct some of the most
popular recipes of two and a half millennia ago in Athens.
Their menu of classical times offers dishes like pork, seared in honey and
vinegar - a meal written about by Aristophenes.
There is also cuttlefish, grilled in its own ink with pine nuts, and, a
favourite then and now, barbecued goat.
The restaurant's joint owner, Suli Adamis, who researched the recipes, said:
"Here you find no sugar, no rice, no tomato, nothing of all this.
"No ingredient that they couldn't use at that time."
