AnswerMeat, and lots of it! This was the mainstay of their (rather unhealthy) diet. They also ate expensive items such as imported fruits and sweets. AnswerThe rich ate lots of meat and hardly any vegetables. Most of the food was usually for decoration e.g Skinning a peacock then roasting it then putting it back in its skin and feathers. The rich drank wine and ale but no water because they thought since the peasants drank water it was inferior and they didn;t want to be like the peasants. One meal could have up to 30 courses. There were no potatoes at that time. They ate pies, roast meat, stew and pottage, fish, poultry, tarts, soup, fruit and biscuits. The fruits that they had were apples, Pears, peaches, plums, dates and figs but no Oranges.Meat: deers, boars, hares, rabbits
Fish: eels
Poultry: Chicken, finches, duck, geese, swans, doves, peacocks, quails and heron.
Stew/pottage: Vegetables+herbs, meat or bacon, poultry, fish, oatmeal and other grains
Rich people generally ate more meat than poor people did. This was often because the landowners would not allow the peasants to hunt on their lands.
a lot of roasted meats.... rich people used what are today common spices like cinnamon, saffron, nutmeg, peppercorn & salt. spices were so expensive for thousands of yrs explorers were sent out for them & pirates raided the ships -- people lived & died for spices -- entire economies like Venice Italy were run on them. bread stuffings were used a lot & fish sauces were common. food would often go bad & food poisoning was not uncommon. vegies would be boiled or thrown into stews. pies filled w/ everything from meat to pastas to fruits were made...exotic prepartion was key for rich people. turduchen is supposed to have originated from a medival recipe... its a hen stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey & roasted....breads were also important....
They would have pottage which is like modern porridge. They would add vegetables and salted, dried, or pickled meat to it to make it more hearty. They would then have hard bread and hard cheese or whatever fish they caught that day. They did not have any access to spices so their meals were very boring and plain. To drink they would have ale.
Well, to start with they had a roasted peacock. Then came the cockentrice. A cockentrice is a half-pig half-chicken sewn together. To end the first course they ate a cooked swan.
they would eat white bread with cheese, crackers etc things like that I got a list from school what they eat: white bread, pork, geese, veal, whale, eel, stuffed chicken, fish pie, wine, sheep, rabbit, sugar, honey etc
they ate very rich things.they ate bettet than the surfs and any other classes in the medieval pyramides.
They ate pottage they ate two times a day when they go to work they get up at three in the morning and get out a seven in the after noon.
