Οι αρχαίοι Μυκηναίοι έχουν μία φήμη ως χτίστες παλατιών και καλοί πολεμιστές αλλά αυτοί επίσης ήταν αρκετά εξελιγμένοι στη μαγειρική. Πάνω από 3.000 χρόνια πριν χρησιμοποιούσαν φορητά γκριλ για να κάνουν σουβλάκια και αντικολλητικά σκεύη για να φτιάχνουν ψωμί, και πρότειναν νέα μαγειρικά πειράματα.
“The ancient
Mycenaeans have a reputation as palace-builders and warriors, but they were
also quite sophisticated cooks. More than 3,000 years ago, they used portable
grill pits to make souvlaki and non-stick pans to make bread, new cooking
experiments suggest.
The Mycenaean
civilization, which was the backdrop for Homer's "Odyssey"
and "Iliad," thrived in Greece during the late Bronze Age from
around 1700 B.C. until the society mysteriously collapsed around 1200 B.C. The
Mycenaeans left behind amazing palaces and gold-littered tombs at sites
like Pylos and Mycenae, but in these places, archaeologists also have
found less glamorous artifacts, such as souvlaki trays and griddles made from
gritty clays.
It wasn't clear
how these two types of pans were used, said Julie Hruby of Dartmouth College,
presenting her research at the Archaeological Institute of America's annual
meeting here on Saturday (Jan. 4).”
