What kind of utensil's did the medieval times use?
Medieval people used spoons and knives, but usually only used forks for cooking. The fact is, however, that they ate a lot of foods with their fingers, including foods we would not eat that way, like stew and soup. They often went without a bowl for the soup, spooning it instead onto a thick piece of stale bread used as a trencher. They took what soup they could off the bread with a spoon, and then ate the rest, soup and bread, together. Wealthy people had plates, many poor people did not and ate directly off the table. Cups and knives were considered common to the people at the table, so two or more people might share the same cup. There is a link below.
What do villagers eat in medieval times?
Medieval villeins ate coarse black bread mostly. They also ate wheat and barley because they grew that on their fields. Everyone drank ale or beer, even the children. They also ate the meats they had around them such as pork, beef, chicken and lamb. If you were really naughty, you got go fishing in the forest for fish to eat and you could also hunt for rabbits, etc. But, if you were caught, you would be punished by your reeve and these punishments could be as bad as the food taken off you or the chopping off of your left hand.

How has mealtime etiquette changed since medieval times?
Medieval people were guided by a desire not to act proud and to be clean. Through part of the Middle Ages, noble lords and their servants all shared meals at a common table. Since they did not know anything at all about how disease spread, their cleanliness did not prevent them from using common eating utensils and cups. They often ate with their fingers, but they considered it to be polite to cut each other's food. Plates and bowls were not always used, especially by poor people, and food was eaten directly off the table. Sometimes people ate from a common plate or bowl, around which they gathered, but it seems most often stale bread was used instead of a bowl for an individual. The bread was broken, scooped if necessary, and made into a trencher, which was then filled with soup or stew, which was eaten from there. When the soup or stew was done, the bread, which was now a wet sop, was eaten. Medieval ladies of some times and places were very interested in appearing delicate and refined. When certain types of foods were being served, they sometimes retired to another room while men ate so they were not be seen with greasy fingers. Later in the Middle Ages the idea of a common table was abandoned altogether and servants ate at a different time in a different room from their lords and ladies. This was condemned by the Church for a while, but became the norm anyway. There is a link to the etiquette section of an article on medieval cuisine below.

In medieval times did they have lunch?
People ate meals pretty much as they do today, with one important difference. It was recognized that laborers needed to have food to fuel them in their work, so the peasants and other people doing physical work ate breakfast in the early morning. Gluttony being a sin, wealthier people refrained from an early morning breakfast; possibly they also wanted to show off their lack of need, even though pride was also a sin. So normally, wealthy people ate only two meals (but rather nice ones), and poorer people three or more.
