Yabbut - adding bacon (or salt pork as in Habitant) makes for a complete and
digestable protein. I forget how it works but pea soup on its own (sometimes
all that was available for food in the new world colonies in the winter) did
not provide proper nutrition.

Nah, if your diet is sufficiently varied, you don't need to combine
proteins. Even Frances Moore Lappe, who used to write about food
combining, has said that it's not necessary.


Back in them days, most authorities said that a vegetarian diet was
inherently unhealthy, because of the protein thing. Protein combining
was the only way to get a diet "approved" by the authorities. Even they
couldn't fight a vegetarian diet with protein combining.
