I have a number of Ancient Greek recipes, but I'm interested in making a comparison between a typical Ancient Greek menu and a typical modern one.

The food I was offered on Crete (which was jolly nice, when it finally made it to the table!) contained a lot of tomatoes, which would be out, before the European re-discovery of the Americas. I seem to remember
avocados turning up quite frequently, too.

What about rice? When does that make it to Greece? I'd also like to know whether ancient Greek bread was like modern pitta or not. Were there several different kinds back then, as now? And this may seem obvious, but what about melons? Are they native or naturalised? How about cucumber?

Can anyone enlighten me, or offer a source of information, please?
