An Ancient's Feast!

To close out this trimesters Social Science assignment on the study of Ancient cultures, Greece, Egypt and Rome, we decided to make a feast for the ancients.  We all love to eat and this is a great, fun way for us to learn about these ancient cultures.

Since our family is on the GAPS diet: http://www.gapsdiet.com/, which allows no grain or sugar, these recipes actually work well for the most part, we have made a few modifications to accommodate our diet.
