Middle Ages Food By: Abbey P. The Foods Ate: Every meal that was ate in the Middle Ages was served with bread. The bread was served at the beginning of each meal so they could fill up on the bread. If they would eat the bread, then they wouldn't have to eat as much meat.The people of the Middle Ages used the bread as bowls for the food they ate, so they could soak up the blood from the food and to soak up the broth from the food. The higher class citizens were able to eat more meats because they had more money. Some of the meats that they ate were chicken, pigeons, cows, rabbit, goose and ducks. The lower class citizens ate bread, flawns, and wafers. The flawns were cheese custards and the wafers were a type of cookie that they ate. In the morning, the housewives had to take the bread down to the bakers, and then pick it up later in the day. If the housewives didn't take the bread do wn to be baked, they wouldn't have the bread to eat for dinner.  This was a type of chicken that they would eat.
