The ancient Spartan eat a speal diet. Know as black soup / black broth, was a staple soup made of boiled pigs' legs, blood, salt and vinegar.

The armies of Sparta mainly ate this. It was not a delicacy, but used for sustenance.

According to legend, a man from Sybaris, a city in southern Italy infamous for its luxury and gluttony (which gave rise to the wordsybarite), after tasting the Spartans' black soup remarked with disgust, "Now I know why the Spartans do not fear death"
