In Medieval England, they did not have much in the way of tropical food, and what there was usually had to be imported from great distances. I don't know when the concept of an orangery developed, but it was probably not before the Renaissance, so there would have been no Oranges or other citrus fruit. Bananas and pineapples were unknown.

Foods from the new world had not been brought to Europe, so there was no maize, no potatos, no tomatoes, and many new world squashes and melons were absent. There were no new world beans, which is just about any beans except fava beans.

They did have strawberries, as there were at least three European species, but the stawberries currently grown are North American.

Why did medieval people eat with their fingers?

Basically, it was customary for medieval people to eat with their fingers, just as it is today to eat many foods. The difference is that they ate salad and bits from their stew that way, but we don't. They did not have a concept of germs causing disease, and they did not use personal forks, though they used forks in kitchens and for carving roasts.
