Rye Bread and Herrings

Here are two traditional food items that have been very common for a long time, they are part of the regional cuisine.  Herrings and Baltic herrings fished for food for many thousands of years.  The grain growing appeared in the Gulf of Finland around 2500 BC.  The craft of grain farming came with the war ax tribes at that time.   The Ingria-land people of the Gulf of Finland would most likely have used natural grains for food long before the migrating tribes came initially along the Gulf of Finland from the west.
