Tudor Miniatures
The staple diet consisted of meat and bread and was much sweeter than today's food.
The Tudors consumed quite an unhealthy diet especially the rich people as vegetables were not popular; the rich people thought vegetables were suitable for poor people to eat. A great deal of salt was used in preserving the huge amount of meat they ate.
There was no way to keep food fresh; it had to be eaten in season or pickled. Meat from animals slaughtered in the autumn was salted or pickled for eating in the winter. To disguise the taste sauces and spices were added.
