What food was in the 1800's in England?

Answer 1

People ate very much the same kind of food they do now, soups and stews, salads (which they called sallets), bread, roast meat, fish and fowl, cheese, savoury pies, and boiled or roast vegetables. They ate fruit and sugary confections as desserts.

However, New World foods had just been discovered and had not yet found their way into popular menus. Nobody ate potatoes, tomatoes, peppers (capsicum), vanilla, or chocolate. Many kinds of squash and beans had not yet arrived. Also, foods from Eastern Asia were unknown: there were no curries in England then! Or sushi!

On the other hand, they ate many things which seem strange to us. They ate a great many more kinds of fruit, including such fruits as medlars and quinces. Their salads included a great variety of greens, and more strongly flavoured ones, including such herbs as hyssop, mint, sage, sorrel, parsley and cress and edible flowers. Dried fruits and nuts were used a lot in savoury dishes.

Garlic, of course, was not and is not a part of English cookery.
