Of the things available to most of us, what are common and the oldest things we might find on a store shelf?

    Around here (Sweden) I would bet a bit that any fish from the Baltic Sea is both common and super old member of the diet for the population around the water. Salmon is also a great contender being found in the rivers as well.

    Any of the easily hunted animals that are still around, don’t know if it’s “common” if it’s seen as a delicacy outside of hunting families though

      I think fish is a likely winner - it’s something we likely hunted and gathered and continue to consume in generally the same format over the years.
