- W1750290668 abstract "DOMESTICATED MEAT ANIMALS By comparison with food of vegetable origin, meat played only a minor part in the nourishment of the West African peoples during the Middle Ages. It is probable that many tribes ate meat only to celebrate some religious rite or on some equally solemn occasion. This does not refer, of course, to the wealthy tribal chiefs and notables who had meat rather more frequently. The striking deficiency of meat in the daily fare of the population can be demonstrated by the fact that they ate carrion, a fact which shocked the authors of the medieval Arabic sources, as we shall see. But there were exceptions. With some tribes, both game and the meat of domestic animals seem to have occupied quite an important part in the nourishment of the people. This also applies to fish, turtles, etc. which played a very large part in the food of peoples who were not so strictly dependent on agriculture, as is still the case with many West African peoples whose economy is based more on hunting, fishing and food gathering than on agriculture. In general, we can say that agriculturalists ate vegetable food almost exclusively, pastoralists ate much more meat, while the hunting and fishing peoples, who constituted a small minority of the West African population, ate meat and fish as their basic food." @default.
