Best Answer

The biggest difference between today's food and that of the Middle Ages is that we have a number of crops came from the New World and were unknown to medieval European people. These crops include potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins and similar squash, such New World beans as kidney beans, American corn (maize). Medieval people also did not have turkeys, for the same reason, but they did eat swans and peacocks.
