The Diet of a Medieval Millionare vs a Medieval Peasant...

Food for the European Middle Ages was not very different from what we eat today. Meats like beef, pork, lamb, and venison were available, along with fruits and vegetables, dairy products, eggs, fish, bread, and ale. Those who could afford it might enjoy the delights of imported foods such as pomegranates, sweet Mediterranean wines and expensive spices from the Middle East, such as cinnamon, and ginger.
