Did the people of medieval England drink tea at any time of the day?
Tea wasn't imported until 1690 (long after the middle Ages had ended) and wasn't a common drink until 1750. Its use was overshadowed by Gin, arguably caused by increased taxes on brandy, etc., imported from Catholic countries. In medieval times ale (fermented malt and water held on the hops) and small beer (as ale made by adding more water and boiling it up with malt a second time, cooling then adding fresh yeast and leaving it again) were the drinks of choice.
Did knights serve kings and serfs?
Yes according to the vows he made when he was dubbed a knight had to serve is liege and the peasants as well. he would more respectful to his king of course. This doesn't relate to this question but a ton of the medieval food quetsions are really of the mark. They didn't eat what they had for breakfast for dinner. it was mostly the same but it had something else as well. Eg apeasant had coarse (thats spelt right) black bread and ale to drink for breakfast and for dinner pottage, coarse black bread with ale to drink. Wikianswers should really get some history books out and check the answers
Who ate healthier Nobles or Peasants?
I think that peasants ate healthier than nobles. Nobles ate a lot of meat and drank ale and not a lot of fruits and vegetables whereas the peasants all they could find was fruits and vegetables. when the nobles ate the meat it might have been salted to make it last longer so they also ate a lot of salt and we all know that too much salt is bad for you. but it wasn't just salt and meat with fat it was also honey. people in medieval times even put honey in water to sweeten it. so my answer would have to be that peasants ate healthier than nobles and sometimes even lived longer.
