@f22f35b2@EuroWynner The average peasant in Europe could enjoy a decently varied diet, especially in places where the crown held less authority over the forests, leading to peasants being able to more freely hunt, buy or barter for meat and forage for mushrooms, wild berries etc.
@f22f35b2@EuroWynner The average peasant in Japan ate white rice if lucky otherwise they "lesser" grains, with a side of vegetables, soup and sometimes fish. Unlike in your fairy tale, they had some of the worst diets when comparing to peasants in other regions.
