Delicious Foods

In medieval Europe they ate exotic foods in the castles.  Large feast were enjoyed by the king and his visitors.  The recipes though were hardly written down because they were often destroyed.  Poor people didn't record them at all, they were just passed down from generation to generation.  Broth was a very common food in the castles because they were easily made and tasty.  Other common foods included jellies; deep fried doughs, like doughnuts; roasted meats, mostly cows, with sauces; pasta; and omelets. 

Foods they don't eat are birds.  They don't eat birds because it is forbidden and their religion does not believe in eating birds.  The only birds they do eat are chicken on a holiday.  The castle life also grew wheat, oats, barley, and beans.
