This is a very interesting article:
Inside the Boston Wine School, Jonathon Alsop
places empty glasses and plates of figs and cheese before a small group
of students. Also, who founded the school in 2000, is doing a test run
of a new class that poses the question: What would Jesus drink?“This
is … a cheese that Jesus might have eaten,” he tells students. “It’s
called Egyptian Roumy — it was a cheese that was introduced to the
Egyptians by the Romans. It’s a sheep’s milk cheese.”
