Detailed Solution

The technology which transported perishable foods over long distances was because of refrigerated ships.
Meat was an expensive luxury that the European poor could not afford. This needed the development of new technology, especially refrigerated ships, which allowed perishable foods like meat to be transported over large distances. A refrigerated cargo ship is often used to transport perishable cargo, such as fruits, meat, vegetables, dairy products, and other items that require temperature control. Animals were slaughtered for food at the original location — in the United States, Australia, or New Zealand – and then shipped to Europe as frozen meat. In Europe, this resulted in decreased shipping costs and lower meat prices. In Europe, the poor could now eat a more diverse diet. Many, though not all, could now add meat (along with butter and eggs) to their usual routine of bread and potatoes.
