Largely a herbivore? In all my reading they seemed to have been omnivores with an occsional human for antipasto.

Generally, they are thought to have been herbivores--based on teeth, mandible, and skull morphology, as well as isotope work (generally low 15N)--although some researchers think that some populations (Romania?) might have become omnivorous when stressed. That is still debated, however.
