What are some actual European foods that people ate hundreds of years before that?

From what I can find, there was a lot of barley, wheat, rye. Meat and fish. Peas, cabbage, apples, pears, grapes, honey, legumes, herbs, cheese.

Recipes turn out to be a lot of bread with cheese, meat or stews, with wine or beer. And also things like pancakes and other baked goods.

Meat, grains, fruit, and veg. Just different ones and less variety.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
