A really good book (IMHO) on European food culture (not just Middle Ages) is 
"The Culture of Food" by Massimo Montanari.  He touches on the impact of 
famines and prosperity on social stratification, on the impact of Roman vs. 
barbarian cultural models of consumption, and on the social implications of 
humoral theory.  It's a whacking good read.  I don't have my copy with me 
right now; I can get publication info to the list on Monday.
