Last supper meal what was served

I started there. I found out talapia is known as St. Peter's Fish and according to Luke "they partook of broiled fish and honeycomb" so I'm guessing talapia, which is still common in Israel today, was served.

Paul wrote to the Corinthians " I know the rest of the scripture and surely wine is a given. After that I came up short, so I referenced some Seder traditions. Jewish folk are fiercely traditional and have kept the same customs and beliefs for thousands of years.

I cross-referenced Seder traditions with foods indicative to Israel at the time and this is my menu hypothesis. Wine, matzah, broiled talapia and honeycomb are pretty much a given. Roasted meats such as lamb, goat or beef were rich men's food and since Christ was of humble origins His Seder lamb probably consisted of lamb shanks or Z'roar. It is usually eaten with a bitter green salad known as Maror. In Deuteronomy , it is written that "the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity.

Wheat and barley might have been on the table, depending on the harvest from the year before the grains would not have been ready to harvest at the time of the Last Supper, so any grain present would have had to last through the winter. Grapes were also not yet in season, but wine was present. Figs could have been eaten dried. Pomegranates, though, are a fall fruit and therefore would not likely have been present. However, olive oil and honey would have been at the ready.
