Rich Tudors ate vast amounts of meat. However they rarely ate vegetables. Rich people were not necessarily well fed because they ate too few vegetables. Poor people ate plenty of vegetables because they had no choice! Vegetables were cheap but meat was a luxury. Tudor vegetables included cabbages, onions, cauliflower, cucumbers, leeks, lettuce, spinach and turnips.
Middle Ages food for poor people revolved around barley. Barley bread, porridge, gruel and pasta, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Grain provided 65-70% of calories in the early 14th century. Middle ages food for rich people included wheat and meat. Both of these items were expensive and prestigious. Wild game was common, as was pork and chicken. Beef, which required lots of land, wasnât very big yet. Vegetables were considered peasant food. So along with their grains, peasants ate cabbage, beets, onions, garlic and carrots.
