Best Answer

The food in the 1860's was a very little amount. Some food they would have was dried beef, flour, corn, and rice.

The rich, like today, also would get more/higher quality. Th more you could spend, the better your food. The food most people ate was grown at home. Since most everyone was a farmer, there wasn't much buying or selling but if you were really poor and needed the money, you would sell as much as you could where as the rich, didn't have the need. they could keep what they wanted and sell what they don't. If they wanted a better cut, then they would buy that.

Bacon, eggs, cheese, bread, tea, coffee, pastries, jams, vegetables and fruits also meat varieties. The rich ate very well and wasted a lot of food. The middle class ate small amounts of the above foods. The poor survived on potato peels, drippings from meat juice bread and cheese. ~Amber Cowan
