Lunch in Jesus' Time

For people in Jesus' time, lunch was just a snack. Some bread would be taken out to the fields with them usually with some vegetables or fruits. These vegetables and fruits included olives, onions, figs, and dates. A shepherd might have a little cheese from the goats. Another food that they would eat for lunch is a few small fish dried and salted. In conclusion, lunch was not a very big meal. It was just something to eat to get through the rest of the day.
