In 1796 the Ruegen traveller Johann Friedrich Zöllner already knew to tell about eating and drinking, when he got a »Ruegian breakfast« at Stubbenkammer: smoked eel, bacon, salt meat, roast veal, tongue with port or brandy. The contents of the island inhabitant’s pots was modest compared to this at that time. It is known from Moenchgut around 1850: In the morning there was salted or dried fish, already with potatoes, in the afternoon there was corn coffee with bread and butter or lard, in the evening barley soup with herring and potatoes. A feast dish was pancake with prunes. Mostly there was a fresh supper just two times a week. Seldomly there were  vegetable, because »Grönfauder ät wi nich« - „we do not eat green food“-except finely chopped cabbage with barley and buckwheat gruel with some salt meat, this was regarded to be proper. And today?
