this is a good question,so think about it,think about the era and then think about your own time,their were no way of keeping their food cold or frozen,unless its winter.so most meat was smoked or eaten in a short period of time.their was no general mills corp. for breakfast food,nor dairy plants for making the many dairy products you have today,so mainly most food came from local farms beef was prized so you did not get much,but some if you lived on the farm.pork and lamb were on the menu most grains were on the menu oats,ryes,wheat,and plenty of corn.ground vegs.such as yams,carrots,beets,parsips,turnips.they also relied on the fruit in the area such as apples,cherrys,etc.some others may improve on this question but this answer will give you a good start on it.o.k.?also you might think about this,you mainly have three meals a day,back then their was no set time for meals you ate when time allowed this custom still go's on today.growing up on a dariy farm,we got at 4:00 a.m. had coffee (8 yr'old) and toast or a roll maybe some hot bread.work too 11:00 a.m. come in the house and have our main meal of the day,then at "supper"maybe soup and a sandwich this was in the 40's and the 50's so you can see some things do not change all that much.
