But as living conditions improved and man got access to more and more foodstuffs, eating habits changed. Also, half of the finest dishes in the world, at that time and which is still a part of fine eating gourmet cuisine repertoire were made by cooks, for their masters, who were discriminating and wealthy eaters. So they could afford exotic and exquisite very expensive dishes, brought to them from all four corners of the earth. Nevertheless, a majority of the populace even then had to make do with cooking dishes, which were able to make a little go a long way. Let's take the example of Italy - especially Rome - in ancient times. You can imagine that this practice took place sometime, somewhere all over the world, in all civilizations from the beginning of time. The people who were wealthy enough took the best pieces of meat, especially the choicest and juiciest portions for their meals every day. The ordinary working populace had to make do with what was left over. So any enterprising Italian mother cooking a meal for a large hungry family with just a few pieces of meat used her creativity and inventiveness to make a dish fit for an Emperor. No doubt, this creative activity was done by mothers all over the world, millenniums ago, using all the ingredients they had at hand. Contributor Bio:  Davidson, John John Davidson was born in Barrhead in Renfrewshire in 1857. He spent his childhood years in Greenock, and after working as a pupil-teacher and briefly attending Edinburgh University, taught in schools in Glasgow and Perth. In 1989 he moved to London where he made his living as a journalist and critic. Several dramas had been published while he was still in Scotland, but in the 1890s he turned to poetry, and published several collections which were very popular: In a Music-Hall (1891) and Ballads and Songs (1894) amongst them. These were poems which chronicled urban working class life, and his sense of outrage at the poverty of the ordinary man, as expressed by the much-anthologized 'Thirty Bob a Week'. At the beginning of the new century he moved away from the lyric and began writing in blank verse which incorporated much scientific language; this series of Testaments were not as successful as his earlier ballad style, though Hugh MacDiarmid was to pay tribute to Davidson's attempts to combine poetry with scientific ideas. Despite the early popularity of the poetry, financial difficulties constantly plagued Davidson; he had had no choice but to continue with the journalism he disliked in order to support his family and other dependents. Sadly the money worries, combined with ill-health and depression, drove him to committing suicide in 1909.
