Up to the start of the Middle Ages when William the Conqueror and the Normans invaded England, the only real influence of the types of food consumed, were from the Romans. Early Middle Ages food was just the basic, and ingredients were grown right at home. People of the Middle Ages enjoyed to drink, and even though the water wasn't healthy, it was still necessary. Kings, Knights, Lords and other crusaders, who had travelled 3000 miles to reach the Holy Lands, were introduced to different spices, which were added to different cultures. Various goods were exported from the Far East including spices. In the Early Middle Ages era, meat was even considered a sign of wealth. The French produced the first recipe book. "The Little Treatise" was written in 1306. The first English cookery book was written in 1390 called 'The Forme of Cury' which includes nearly 200 recipes, which 196 recipes contributed by the Royal cooks. The different types of foods eaten during the Middle Ages Medieval period including the meat, fruit, fish and bread. In 1328, the amount of food available in the Middle Ages changed.

\nIt depended on where people lived and if they were wealthy or a peasant. Peasants would eat soup or mush for almost every meal a day. Also, they would eat black bread. The soup would be made of scraps of food, usually vegetables like carrots or eggs. Mush was made from some kind of grain like oats or wheat and then cooked in water; it would sort of be called oatmeal today. Peasants hardly ate meat because it was so expensive and rare. The biggest reason meat was rare is because you needed salt to preserve it, and salt was very, very expensive.
\nThe wealthy people ate much better than the peasants. Of course, the wealthier people ate more meat because they had the money for it. But they also did eat peasant food like soups, but the soups had more exotic spices and sugar. They would have large roasts of beef, or pig.
\nFeasts:
\nAt weddings, festivals, and large feasts the food could get interesting. Often they would eat large birds like swans, peacocks, or cranes. After cleaning and cooking the birds, they would reattach the feathers for decoration. This was also a time when lots of meat was eaten such as mutton, chicken, pheasant, venison, rabbit, turkey, and ham. For dessert, there would be fruit, jellies, nuts, and cheese.
\nWhat did they drink?
\nPeople didn't drink water with meals like we do today. The water during this time would have been dirty and not very good to drink, especially in larger towns. Mostly people drank wine or beer. Wine was the most popular in Italy and France, while beer was big in areas like Germany and England.
\nWhat did they eat with?
\nMost people ate with their hands and sometimes a knife. Forks didn\u2019t start to become popular with the peasants but with the wealthy during this time. Usually a fork would just have two prongs and would be used for skewering pieces of meat.

Surprisingly enough, Shakespeare\u2019s\u2019 parents and children were both illiterate. The whereabouts of Shakespeare and what he did in the years of 1585 and 1592 is still unknown but some believe he was a school teacher, studied law, or traveled Europe. Also, his works contain about 600 references to different species of birds. Lastly, some historians think Shakespeare was a fraud because one of the most famous writers in history never received a college education, showed a personal connection to the royal family, and European history and capitals, leading them to believe it might have been another writer trying to hide their true identity.
