Hi Huguenots were, of course, a diverse group and able to finance wars etc in France, However, once they became refugees in foreign lands, there must have been a substantial minority who found themselves in "reduced circumstances", or who felt, at least, that they should be more frugal in order to conserve their means. Anyway, we need to ask Hanne Thorup Koudal if he thinks that the Huguenots in Denmark were following some French regional diet in which vegetables played a major role,or if they were being frugal,or if it was a little bit of both - whatever the answer, some of them seem to have achieved an enviable longevity!
