Summary/Abstract: Filling a gap in earlier ethnological research on the European diet, this contribution offers a long-term historical perspective, as well as a cultural-historical periodization, of alimentary habits on the continent during last seven centuries. Dietary practice is understood as a cultural system which is dependent on the structure and development of the society as a whole. Hence, the analysis of this cultural system must necessarily take into account its class character: habits and menus of aristocracy, bourgeoisie and peasants have never been identical, but they have always had a dynamic effect on one another. The periodization which the author offers in this article concerns general trends of changes in the history of European diet. It can serve as a model, that is, as a standard against which one can better evaluate practical and regional deviations and particularities of nutrition. The model specifies four phases in. the development of alimentary habits: from the year 1300 to 1500, from 1500 to 1650, from 1650 to 1800, and from 1800 to the year 2000.
