People originating from cold and harsh temperate climates ate whatever they could get their hands on to keep starvation at bay. Fish was common in Scandinavia as most settlements are very close to the sea. Chicken and beef was rare, chickens were raised for eggs, cattle were raised for millk.
Most people ate very little meat as meat was expensive. People also ate milk preserved as either cheese or butter but not as a staple as dairy was also scarce. Most people's diet consisted of rye bread, beer, barley porridge and cabbage. If you were lucky there would be a little bit of salt pork in the pot with the cabbage.
The Sound used to be a rich fishing ground for herring so salt herring was plenty and cheaper than meat.
also gotta love the (FROM SPAIN) he throws in to signal that he’s not cooking brown-skinned South American dishes
Lol he also calls it a Spanish dish in the tweet too. Dude knows his audience and he thinks they're dumbasses - it's amazing how conservatives have as much contempt for each other as libs do.
Spaniards aren't even that fucking white though, I was looking at photos on Google inside a McDonalds in Murcia and I was like "WTF what's with all the Mexicans" because I forgot I wasn't in Madrid
You're right about the Inuit having a very different diet than northern Europe but I don't think they are the genetically superior ancestors of white people the guy from OP identifies with.

wow are you saying that medieval germanic people weren't eating factory farmed skirt steak? i dont know if i can believe that.
You're right. It doesn't make sense. How could they be all proud and Germanic if they were eating grain?

This reply is dumber and sadder than the actual tweet

Meat would mostly have come from sheep and it would have been highly seasonal.
Lies! My honorable ancestors only consumed the finest Paleo diet of meat and nuts
I also remember seeing something about medieval european people eating river caught fish. Chuds and not knowing history, iconic duo yada yada.
Depends on the area. Inuit ate tons of meat.

Yeah probably...
I thought dairy was more common, but I am not too familiar with the scandinavian diet.
