I'm going to try to stick to local stuff, but we will see what I can do. 
I can't really afford the stuff at the local upscale natural foods

Mostly grains and produce. Nuts, dried fruit. And rice milk or nut milk. 
Trying not to use soy products.

Giano has a fabulous article on Carolingian food, and I have some links...

There's this:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitulare_de_villis_vel_curtis_imperii

and this:

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/800Asnapium.asp

and this FABULOUS source:

We can't send attachments to this list, so drop me a line offlist and 
I'll send you the article... probably tomorrow or Monday. I'm kind of 
swamped today.
