Especially in middle age European culture , everyone was beleiving that there is a land called Cockaigne which their citizens living in abundance and luxury.
According to legends, there were wine rivers, houses made from pastry, streets furnished with pastries in the cockaigne. Grilled women were inviting the men to come and eat them and food was raining above the sky.
