>>Indeed,
it is ironic that when the Gezera was first made  it was not accepted
because of the importance of bread to their diet. The  irony is that they
tell you to stay away from carbs like bread if you want  to lose weight. I
guess though that supports the notion. Granted meat was  in short supply
and expensive at times, but potatoes and the like would  have been there.<<

Potatoes would have been /where/?  Potatoes are a New World food and  would 
not have been anywhere in the Old World prior to the 16th century.
