Herring, types of cod, types of deer I reckon, types of cheese, cabbage, some other root vegetables I think. Maybe pig is allowed since it's probably from the Eurasian steppe (according to the first article on Google I found)?
It's not a lot since we've decided to go with the ethnonationalist definition of Europe as being "England, scandinavia, Germany, most of France, bits of Italy and the north of Spain" which doesn't really describe a large geographical area. It's also a definition thats mainly held by white supremacists.

Maybe pig is allowed

Idk about the original pig, but Berkshire pork is mostly from Chinese breeds

Yeah and there's loads of wheat that's from European breeds, but that doesn't count because 10.000 ago they weren't there. Your criteria only cares for where the original was (Pangaea)

fug, accidentally deleted my comment

anyway no, the stuff in the OP is all from the last ~1000 years
If you go back to 10,000 then yeah almost nothing at all is from Europe

Also all the european breeds of wheat are named european names so that's a moot point
