Introduction
Palæoboreanic diet, cuisine, and food-getting strategies were surprisingly modern. Boreans planted crops, and hunted, fished, and trapped various animals for food.

Cuisine

|
Meats — cuts of freshly butchered and cooked meat were occasionally served as the entrée of a meal, particularly for exceptionally wealthy individuals, however the majority of meat consumed by Boreans would have been in the form of smoked jerky, or prepared by boiling dried meat for pottage. |
|
Bread & Cereals — numerous references exist in the recovered writings of the Palæoboreanic to various kinds of bread. |
|
|
Pottage — the ancient Boreans made many different types of soup, stew, pottage, chowder, gruel, and porridge. |
|
|
Beverages — the Palæoboreanic people made both tea and coffee, as well as fruit juices (though without modern preservation techniques, these were often served fresh-squeezed). Various forms of vegetable juice were also consumed. Additionally, the Palæoboreanics had learned how to produce a number of alcoholic beverages: mead was by far the most common, however beers, wines, and even some other stronger spirits were occasionally produced. |
