Thank you, but I have a question:

Milk from what - cows? sheep? goats? I think I know, but don't want to
assume.
So far the indiginous foods list is pretty scarce but growing:
Geese,
hazelnuts, walnuts
crabapples, raspberries, bilberries, blackberries, elderberries, wood
strawberries
wild chives
milk (but not cheese, according to Pliny)
Thanks to all for helping to compile the list!
