Food in Medieval Times,What People Ate in the Middle Ages
Meat and Drink in Medieval Times
Pork was the most common meat served at great tables in the form of hams, sausages and black pudding. Prior to food preparation the underside of the pig's tongue was inspected for white ulcers. Such ulcers were believed to be a sign their flesh would communicate leprosy to those who ate it. Kid was more appreciated than lamb. Unscrupulous butchers would attach the tail of a kid to a lamb in order to deceive the customer into paying a high price for a less expensive meat. Geese were so highly prized that flocks of them were driven to feed in the fields like a flock of sheep. Game birds such as the heron, crane and crow were considered delicacies. Also eaten were peacocks, hedgehogs and squirrels. Venison was reserved for kings and the rich.
