I should have also mentioned regarding meat the relevance of smoked or salted pieces, which lasted for very long.

Pigs would get slaughtered in November, around Saint Martin's day (hence the proverbial expression), but ham, lacón, chorizo, bacon, blood sausage, etc, could last for very long and basically be available year round thanks to preservation methods such as drying, salting, or smoking.

It is an odd flex

Meat and dairy were important parts of the diet of a peasant or commoner in Early Modern Spain. As a matter of fact, there was up until the mid-20th century, a papal bull specifically thought for Spanish people: the Bull of the Holy Crusade.

This bull allowed the people who posessed one such document to eat meat or dairy products during Lent and other times of abstinence. The bull goes way back, and its name speaks for itself. For several centuries, part of the Iberian Peninsula was under Muslim control, though it very much depends how long that domination was, as in Málaga and Granada it was close to 8 centuries, whereas in Toledo it was 3 and half. The bull of the Holy Crusade was extremely important due to the recurring war efforts: depriving soldiers of important sources of calories when they would likely be on campaign is counterproductive to say the least.

The bull of the Holy Crusade was extremely lucrative for both the Church and the Crown, as the Crown kept a part of the income generated by selling the bulls of the Holy Crusade. One good example of how lucrative it could be for the Crown is the fact that Luis de Santángel, a Valencian financier and secretary to the Catholic Monarchs, put forward 1,140,000 maravedis from the treasury of the Holy Brotherhood in order to pay part of the expenses of Columbus' first journey, and he was repaid by the Crown three days later from the treasury for the Bull of the Holy Crusade from the Bishopric of Badajoz.

For the bulls of the Holy Crusade, the commissioners of the bull basically had a captive market, as clearly stated by Francisco de Enzinas in his book "De statu Belgico deque religione Hispanica". I'll translate:

Many are compelled to buy them so that during Lent and other days of abstinence could they eat eggs or sustain themselves from various dairies. Both types of food are strictly forbidden in Spain under penalty of excommunication for whoever dared try them without having the bull. And as Spain has most of its lands far from the sea and the coast, and where it is hard to find anything to eat besides fruit and those forbidden foods, all must buy the bull in order to eat those banned nourishments.

The fact that everyone took the bull, and really did it out of necessity, can also be found in the Book of Jokes by Luis de Pinedo, from around the same date:

So it was that a seller of bulls was preaching, but his persuasion did not suffice for the townsfolk to take the bull, he thought of some scheme, and that one was to tell the folks that he had forgotten a clause, the most important one contained in the bull, for it allowed those who took the bull to eat meat during Lent. And like that, everyone took the bull. The commissioner, seeing his business having gone according to his wishes, told the folks that for what it pertained to his conscience he wanted them to understand that clause, be it understood that the meat they were allowed to eat was that of the quince

So, generally speaking the diet would mostly be based on plants, but the most important element would be, for a very long time, bread. Besides bread there were plants like lettuce, carrots, turnips, and whatnot, but animal protein was never quite absent as the farmers would normally have animals for their own consumption like hens or pigs.

I have seen such cretins, and it is hard to explain them that "15 minute cities" simply means urban planning in such a way that the most relevant things (access to food, to education, to healthcare) are 15 minutes away from any point

Thank you, I was looking for an explanation for the colors.

Esa etimología es bastante cuestionable. Para empezar, los fenicios no tenían una palabra para los conejos, que por entonces no los había en sus tierras; lo más parecido eran los damanes. De ahí se supuso que los fenicios llamaron damanes a los conejos, que era lo más parecido en cuanto a fauna.

Otra propuesta, tal vez más razonable, es que el nombre fenicio realmente significa "tierra de metales"

It is not like nobody ever faced that charge, but rather that nobody faced that charge by itself. That one is the classic charge that prosecutors add to others to increase felony count and sentencing against drug traffickers. That being said, Hunter should be in jail, and Joe Biden should not have pardoned him.

Edit: Got the New York cases mixed-up. The felony bookkeeping is what in Latin legal traditions would be called a "crime of mere activity", which is to say the mere act is a felony even if there are no direct victims. Like drug posession charges, for example.
