I think it's also a matter of Northern European climates, meat and dairy was available for most of the year while vegetables other than potatoes and onions where really only in spring and summer.

There are a whole host of root vegetables that are pretty darn tasty and basically absent from the modern American diet. Beet, Turnip, Parsnip, Rutabaga to name a few. Northern climates can and in the past have grown a wide variety of vegetables. I don't know where exactly to pin the blame for the current (but improving) state of affairs, but it isn't for lack of ability to grow a diverse set of vegetables.

  Not sure about beetroots in winter but the rest seem plausible.
