Franc, Martin
The subject of this essay is the standard dietary composition in the poor sections of society in the Central european Habsburg Monarchy during the first half of the 19th century. Thee study does not cover instances of emergency situations such as those of famine or war. According to the data recorded in sources, the standard diet of the poor was unexceptionally dominated by the vegetable component, at that time still comprised largely of flour-based food including bread, whereas potatoes served as a staple food for the poor only in certain localities. Another important dietary component were pulses and, as a valuable supplement, also other vegetables and fruit.
