I could easily live there as my favorite diet is exactly the same.
Another way they tentatively confirmed the source of the feces was by reading the bishop’s diaries, where he gave details about some of his meals. While the Danish populace ate staples like pork, cabbage and rye bread, wealthier people in Aalborg also consumed nuts and berries. The bishop did too.
Throw in buckwheat, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes and chicken, and I'm in heaven.
I'm regretting that buckwheat is not popular anymore today. I think it is because of improved transportation and supply of whiter rice to Northern Europe in last century. White rice is more caloric rich therefore was preferred by people. And form of a status from perspective of poor people. The poor always craved high caloric food not only because they were always hungry, but also to gain weight and look fat like rich people. I remember my mother always complementing, buying and feeding me wheat buns and rice, the better food, the better status food, in her understanding. Though I always wanted and loved rye bread and buckwheat!
I think buckwheat will be a winner of the future diet. It is healthy and gluten free alternative to wheat and rice. Why not making sushi with buckwheat? It much healthier and tastier. White rice is just pure starches and doesn't have taste, unless mixed with sauce.
Anyway, I like this research and it will be a great tool to use in future, to decipher cultures of the past. I sort of remember reading an article about discovery of ancient village garbage site, something like 1,000 BC in Poland or was it in Germany. They also ate lots of pork and cabbage. It might be the case that my affinity in taste for pork, cabbage and buckwheat might be ingrained in my DNA, after few thousands of years of eating same stuff in same area by my ancestors.
