Hogs also ate several root type crops and other food waste in addition to the small grains and brassica type plants. Cattle ate those as well, but were mostly grass fed. Eastern Native Americans did not have horses or livestock. Small cool season grains were well adapted to the northern, moist, cooler eastern region.
I’m good with it. Just curious what they ate at the theatre in London. Lol
You probably don't want to know, lol.
Yeah...that aged goose sounds delightful. By aged it meant that you had hung it by the necj till the body fell away, then it was "ready" to eat. British food is so fun.
Turkeys were domesticated in the new world, along with alpacas llamas. Agriculture provides a more stable food supply but also more labor. In the old world bread was and is the staff of life, wheat comes from the Middle East. The new world also gave us syphilis, thanks for the blankets!

You don't get that from blankets. It's what you do in the blankets.

I really don't know what people in the old world used to eat before the discovery of America. No potatoes, beans, corn, squash; how did Europeans survive?
No Americans had horses prior to contact, like barleycorn horses were an EU product.
There were horses in North, Central and South America when the people whose descendants became Native American first arrived. They chose to eat the horses rather than domesticate them though. The archaeological evidence appears to show that they ate horses and many other large mammals into extinction. There were probably some climate changes that helped with the extinctions of most of the large mammals.
I like this thread.. wish there was some sort of plant history class I could take.. Ethnobotany is the closest thing I can imagine having this info.. too bad I hadn't taken the pre-req.
