Facts about Tudor food
• Three quarters of the Tudor diet was meat
• Vegetables were not popular

Scurvy
In the Tudor times hardly anyone
ate fruit or vegetables, because
they ate lots of meat instead.
So there was a illness which went
round called scurvy.
Scurvy means you haven't had
enough vitamin C.
Tudor Meat
Most people ate well. The main part of each meal
was meat. This could be beef, lamb, pork, rabbit,
deer, goat or wildfowl. Rich people even ate
peacock and swans.
Leftovers
In the Tudor times they cooked a lot
of food so there was usually a lot
of leftovers. These leftovers went to
the servants. If there was still leftovers
they would of gone to the poor and the
beggars on the street.
Tudor Drinks
In the Tudor times they
drank red wine but they
made it much weaker by
adding water.
