Non-nobles ate huge amounts of bread (the staple food). Cheese, eggs, milk, butter, buttermilk, curds, fish, beans, peas, cabbage, leeks, onions, oatcakes, honey, vegetable stews called pottage, herbs, fruit and nuts formed most of the remainder of the diet. Meat would be a very rare treat and normally a very old cow or goose that had stopped producing milk or eggs.
Nobles hunted and ate anything that moved or could be raised and farmed by their peasant servants: venison, beef, mutton, lamb, pork, fish, rabbit, goose, wild boar, swan, peacock, hare, pheasant, quail, grouse, pigeon, eggs, and common small birds such as thrush, blackbird, sparrows and so on. Vegetables were generally considered unclean, but some were certainly eaten, along with fruit such as apples, quinces and Pears.
It is a fact that medieval status is preserved in the English language today: the poor people who spoke Middle English called the animals they looked after by their English names cow, pig, deer and sheep , but the Anglo-French nobility called the meat from these same animals by their Anglo-French names: beef, pork, venison, and mutton.
