Best Answer

Poor people did not eat as much as rich people. They didnt have meat all year round and some times had to scavenge.

MEAT

Poor people would eat chickens which they could rear themselves, beef from the local market when they had the money, and rabbits which they could catch for themselves.

SWEETS

Poor people used honey as a sweetener and kept bees to make the honey insted of buying.

VEGETABLES

They could afford theses if they grew them and so they grew a lot and of all kinds from carrots to peas.
