I didn't think I should post the entire review to the list, but I will forward
it to anyone who is interested. Berend was rather disappointed with the book.

The volume contains seven articles that have been given as
papers at a conference organized by the College of Commerce,
Catering and Tourism, the Society of Old Hungarian Culture and
the Department of Medieval and Postmedieval Archaeology, Eotvos
Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary. The articles have been
translated into English by Alice M. Choyke and Laszlo
Bartosiewicz. The book deals with various aspects of the eating
habits of pastoral nomads of the Hungarian migration period
(that culminated in the Hungarian conquest in the late ninth
century) and the Middle Ages. Its emphasis is on what one can
learn from archaeological remains.
