Monks lived according to the Regula Sancti Benedicti (the Rule of St Benedict) which banned the eating of meat from four-legged animals. Fish and fowl (swan, pigeon, peacock, goose and other birds), fruit, vegetables, herbs and cereal and dairy products formed the major part of the diet.
One 12th century writer recorded a huge omelette prepared for the Prior's table at Canterbury in 1179, made with 16 eggs, chopped dittany, rue, tansy, mint, sage, marjoram, fennel, parsley, beets, violet leaves, spinach, lettuce and pounded ginger.
Fish were raised in fish-breeding ponds within or near the monastic precinct; these often involved very elaborate water management systems.
The Benedictines permitted the use of fat in the diet, since it was not mentioned in the Rule so they assumed it was not banned. The Cistercians took the opposite view: animal fats were not mentioned so they were automatically banned. Benedictines consequently had pastries and pies made with fats - the Cistercians did not.
Meals would generally be very similar, with bread, cheese, vegetable dishes and fish; fruit would be available only in season. Herbs were the main flavouring and condiment.
One of the major causes of complaint in English monasteries was the boring and repetitive diet.
Not all monastic churches were cruciform. The larger churches were cruciform, regardless of whether they were monastic or not, and the smaller ones were in simple rectangular shapes, regardless of whether they were monastic or not.
