From what ive heard, in medieval times, people didnt usually eat very well unless they were a part of the ruling class or close behind them.
Most of the peasants had a meager soup like mixture with whatever they could find to put in it.
the price of a loaf of bread was of great importance in france. I forget the exact time period but it was one of their revolutions the price of bread sparked revolt - im fairly sure that for a long time before that bread was a major portion of a peasants diet and so its pricing was very important to the majority of the populace.
