Q1: What was one difference between the food of the poor and the food of the rich? Is this difference still true today?

[Answer]

There was no shortage of food during Tudor times - if you could afford it.

The wealthy had a wide variety of foods, made more attractive with spices from overseas. Meals would contain many courses.

The poor sat down to eat a single course of very simple food, and not much of that if the harvest had been poor.
