I should have said MOST of Europe and the Middle East. Certainly there were, 
as you have pointed out, isolated areas where it was used relatively early on 
as human food by a lot of people. However, given the size of Europe, I would 
still categorize the statement I made as accurate when the continent is 
viewed as a whole. Either way I know of no period recipes using this grain 
and if it was used in the areas you mention by the upper classes or nobility 
on a regular basis and recipes are available I would love to see them. Thanks 
in advance.
