Rich Tudors ate vast amounts of meat. However they rarely ate vegetables. Rich people were not necessarily well fed because they ate too few vegetables. Poor people ate plenty of vegetables because they had no choice! Vegetables were cheap but meat was a luxury. Tudor vegetables included cabbages, onions, cauliflower, cucumbers, leeks, lettuce, spinach and turnips.
Drinks during the Tudor Times: Coffee and chocolate were introduced from the New World and tea was introduced by Jesuit priest who had travelled to the Far East to England. However, coffee, chocolate and tea were only used as medicines during the Tudor era. The Tudors did not drink their beverages hot.
