Milk

Some believe that milk was first used as a food source in ancient Greece. It is said that the first milk was derived from mares and was used as a source of nutrition for Greek athletes. The first recorded milk recipe was for a drink called kykeon, which was made with milk, barley, and herbs.

Over the years, milk has been used in a variety of recipes, both sweet and savory. In the Middle Ages, milk was often used as a thickener in soups and sauces. It was also used to make cheese and other dairy products.

In the 1800s, milk began to be consumed more as a beverage than a food. Recipes for milk-based drinks such as milkshakes, eggnog, and hot chocolate became popular.
