The foods available to bishops in the medieval period were the same as those eaten by other wealthy members of society, but we can be sure they had far more food than many other people. They held large areas of farmland and lived very well from its produce; they also received a proportion of tithes gathered from all the manors in their diocese - these included large quantities of cereal crops ("corn" in English).
Many surviving Anglo-Norman documents help to form a detailed picture of the foods available to a bishop; one is the "Winchester Piperoll" of 1208 to 1209, an account of the produce from just part of the farmlands held by the Bishop of Winchester at that time, prepared by his chamberlain (William fitzGilbert), his reeve (Jocelyn) and his cellarer (Aylward).
The piperoll mentions many casks of wine, large numbers of kitchen and dairy servants and farm workers, bread, mixed corn (cereal crops called maslin), wheat, oats and barley, beans, peas, vetches, pigs, goats, oxen, cows, sheep and lambs, cheeses, chickens, eels, sides of bacon and sausages.
