Quote: Are you actually including cheese in that group of "midlevel luxury foods"?
I've always thought of Ancient Greek peasants getting a bit of protein from goat's cheese.

Depends of your locality. Perevoi who where between the Thessalians and the Ipirotes and had strike good deals with both and were not in easy raidable place (South Pindos mountains) might have got more cheese but less bread. Phokians might eat a more blanced diet but after their land was ravaged by the Delfic holy wars might have been reduced to eat forest fruits and roots.

Butter in Greek is called VOUTIRO (VOUS = ox TIROS= cheese).
Usually it might have been a luxury for the Thesallians and the Beotians or Evoians who had flat lands Not something that you get everyday.

Hope I helped.
Kind regards
