From Tacitus's Germania, a text describing the Tribal Germanic peoples "Their food is plain - wild fruit, fresh game, and curdled milk. They satisfy their hunger without any elaborate cuisine or appetizers.". When the romans encountered the German Tribes they noted how much taller, broader and muscular they were, compared to the low meat diet of the romans.

"When not engaged in warfare they spend a certain amount of time in hunting, but much more in idleness, thinking of nothing else but sleeping and eating." Shows that the Germanic Tribes relied mostly on hunted meat, as well as herding.
