If you could have dinner with 5 other people, (they could be anyone, living, historical or even ficticious) who would you invite and what would you serve?

Ehhhhhrg, this is hard, because part of me kinda just wants to invite, like, five random Mycenaeans from different levels of society and ask them all kinds of cheating questions about their civilisation.  And serve them modern Greek cuisine just for the hell of it, ‘cause I can make a damn good baklava.  On the other hand I could do the whole ‘selection of your favourite famous historical figures thing’ and go for… hmm… well, Pliny the Elder has to be in there because he is just so many kinds of ridiculous… I kinda want Galileo Galilei because there just aren’t many bigger names in science than him… Cleopatra VII, partly because of her historical importance but also because she’s supposed to have been a scintillating conversationalist, which I feel would be important for a thing like this, and tremendously knowledgeable… Hone Heke Pokai, whom you’ve probably never heard of if you’re not from New Zealand but you should totally look him up because he was a crazy badass… and… hmm… we’ve got a scholar, a scientist, a queen and a warrior… I feel like we need an artist or poet, so what the hell, let’s throw in Sappho, the poetess of Lesbos.  She’d be fun.  And she’d totally flirt with Cleopatra which would be hilarious.  I’ll make them little meat pastries, because I can do a whole lot of different fillings with vegetables and spices and so on; it’s just a nice versatile way of doing really any sort of food you like.  And custard tart for dessert because, again, I make a damn good custard tart.
