Fish, potatoes, cabbage, tomatos, salt, onions, olive oil, olives, goat or sheep cheese, wine, grapes, poultry, bread.
Basically a lot of green stuff / vegetables and little in the way of "real" meat like that of cows or pigs.Comment

If you're going to limit yourself to only those foods available before the Columbian Exchange, you're going to eliminate a great amount of what people would normally consider "traditional" Mediterranean cuisine. No potatoes, no tomatoes, no cornmeal, no peppers, no squash, no beans except for broad beans, etc.Last edited by Drake Tungsten; May 19, 2007, 20:34.KH FOR OWNER!

Well, it was only brought back to the Mediterranean ~100 years before Columbus.
I find it odd to draw a line between the two...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

I guess only a Jew would consider something 500 years old to be a new thing.
Anyway, traditional mediterranean cousine is supposedly very healthy and certainly not fattening. But with growing prosperity the diet has changed to include more meat and other stuff so nowadays mediterranean people probably aren't any healthier than people deeper on the continent. At least not from food. Maybe they are more active and spend more time outdoors (milder climate), and benefit from that.Comment
