I think that these belts make better sense in the west, than in south-eastern europe, maybe the gradient of climate is more complicated there.
The other famous trio are the olive oil/butter/lard belts, which again were fairly clear lines in the west (although obviously things have changed now). Data-points on what fat your grandmother used, in south-eastern europe, anyone?
