What food did knights eat between 1066-1485?

Answer 1

I can not say specifically what would have been popular in 1066 but I do know a little bit about medieval England's culinary fare. The only methods of preservation for meat were keeping it a cool cellar (which still did not keep meat fresh that long) or salting it, so meat tended to be boiled or stewed to remove the salty flavour. For that matter, just about everything was boiled or stewed because there were not many cooking options available. If there was a little flour available, a simple "pie" might have been made. A meat pie, that is. Fruit was not popularized in pies until much later by America's Pennsylvania Dutch. Meat pies were pretty much just the same stewed meat with a crust thrown over top. Also, very little was not consumed. Kidneys, liver, tripe, etc.; it all got used.

Answer 2

There were things like crops (plants) and obviously meat. The peasants grew crops and kept livestock. As well as this many farmers were taken to fight William at the battle of Hastings because Harold had no-one to fight as he had just fought Harald Hadrada at the battle of Stamford bridge.Hope this helped
