Correction: a lot of meat. The diet was basically animal protein and vegetables. In their linked studies, the authors make it clear that offal in particular was consumed far more heavily than today. I guess it was cheaper than skeletal muscle meat.
- clock_tower 11y agoGuess what linked studies I was saving to read after work... :P Still interesting, though. I'll definitely take a look at this in more detail.
- RogtamBar 11y agoOffal not only was, but is cheaper than skeletal meat. Hearts, for example, are good meat. You can get them for 1$ per pound. Tastes very similar to normal muscle, but it's darker. Which is why they're always sold out after 11 am..
