5'8 was quite large for an average population the middle ages. more so you probably had a great number of thralls dragging that figure down.  nordics eat like, open faced sandwiches, dairy and eggs and not typically this stuff. the grossest stuff they eat are weird gelatinous creations, like pink sausages and "fish sauce" and etc similar to krauts. pickled herring, etc. otherwise it's a very whole-foods diet compared to the image on the right which is very british/irish to me.    it's good too. except for tuscany.
