I was going to say that as well. Colder climates tend to be rich in meat, dairy, and protein. It's a preference that's built up over thousands of years. Along the Mediterranean though you'll see a lot more vegetables. Nomadic peoples also tend to have a meatier diet (of either beef, lamb) since farming requires a sedentary lifestyle.
