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.
The peasantsâ main food was a dark bread made out of rye grain. They ate a kind of stew called pottage made from the peas, beans and onions that they grew in their gardens. Their only sweet food was the berries, nuts and honey that they collected from the woods. Peasants did not eat much meat.Many kept a pig or two but could not often afford to kill one.he plates used by the Normans were made out of wood. Sometimes they used large slices of day-old bread as plates for the meat and sometimes they ate out of bowls. Although they had knives and spoons, there were no forks, so people used their fingers a great deal.
