Description

Who said that Jews and Christians can’t party hearty? The people in biblical times knew how to throw a proper feast! Yes, wine and beer were present. Even God is fond of wine (Judges 9:13)! So, what types of food and drink were allowed? Depending on your economic status, food was a very important part of religious life with very specific conditions. Pages and pages of the Bible were dedicated to what you could or couldn’t eat or drink and how it should be prepared. Did you know that some slaves were actually paid with beer? Or that dove dung was a great casserole topper? Who knew? This fast-paced presentation will touch on the plethora of foods and drinks found within the pages of the Bible.
