The Gruel of Sparta

Sparta was rough and they were they were a weird outlier In the rest of Greece. They ate this disgusting black broth That they had figured out over the years is the kind of thing that would give you the right energy for battle in the right disposition. It was sort of a rejection of pleasure to eat that food We eat to live and fight we don't live and fight to eat right? I mean those were very different sets of motivations And so Athens was a very different animal than Sparta.
