European food has a distinct flavor and rich history. The food in Europe can be characterized by four categories: meats, sugar, cereals, and fats. Meats include tripe, fish, blood sausages, and wild game. Brought from India and the New World, cane sugar became a necessary ingredient in European recipes and foods.
The result was that all foods were locally produced (except for expensive foreign imports) and it was generally fresh. The staple foods for most people of Europe of the Middle Ages were cereals, mainly rye, barley, oats, millet, and buckwheat. Wheat and rice were available, but were expensive. Much of the cereal was made into bread.
