They ate many of the same foods people eat today, except that they had to grow their own wheat and other grains, and grind it into flour. They grew many kinds of fruits, and vegetables such as carrots, peas, and beans. Beets were grown in some places to make sugar, the other sweetener being honey from both wild and domesticated bees. Most of the meat was wild game, except where there were large herds of pigs or cows (cows were mostly for dairy products, or as beasts of burden). Chickens were already a staple of the European diet during the Roman Empire.

They did not have squash or tomatoes, as these were brought from the Americas in the 1500s.

I thought that at banquets and such they ate meats like pigs and such. Fruits and vegetables, drank wines and ales from their cups.
