I had a look at your medieval cookery page, and checked out the stats page. I think it might be relevant to the debate we're having over at talk:medieval cuisine to note that beans and chick peas only appear in something like 1% of the recipes in the collections you've compiled statistics on.

So if a 1% occurance in recipes isn't a dead giveaway for lack of prestige, then how exactly is the frequency of consumption supposed to be calculated?

I recently added a paragraph on the influence that Christian culture had on medieval Europe, particularly the northern parts. I think it might address some of the concerns you had about bread being a staple. You can find it under Medieval cuisine#Dietary norms.

Hi Doc, I just noticed your recent edit to cassoulet. I was not able to see why you deleted the claim about its origins when the cited reference seemed to support it, so I reverted it. Since it seems like you have an interest in this category, you may have reason to dispute the reference. If so, please comment on the talk page, or at least remember to fill in the edit summary so that other editors can verify the reasoning behind the edit. Thanks, and happy editing!
