  5. General EatingHabits • Whilegrainsweretheprimaryconstituent of mostmeals, vegetablessuch as cabbage, beets, onions, garlicandcarrotswerecommonfoodstuffs. Many of thesewereeatendailybypeasantsandworkers, but werelessprestigiousthanmeat. Thecookbooks, intendedmostlyforthosewhocouldaffordsuchluxuries, whichappeared in thelateMiddleAges, onlycontained a smallnumber of recipesusingvegetables as themainingredient. Thelack of recipesformanybasicvegetabledishes, such as potages, has beeninterpreted not tomeanthattheywereabsentfromthemeals of thenobility, but ratherthattheywereconsideredsobasicthattheydid not requirerecording.[50]Carrotswereavailable in manyvariantsduringtheMiddleAges: amongthem a tastierreddish-purplevarietyand a lessprestigiousgreen-yellowtype. Variouslegumes, likechickpeas, fava beansandpeaswerealsocommonandimportantsources of protein, especiallyamongthelowerclasses.

  6. Fruit • Fruitwas popular andcould be servedfresh, dried, orpreserved, andwas a commoningredient in manycookeddishes.[36] Since sugarandhoneywerebothexpensive, it wascommontoincludemanytypes of fruit in dishesthatcalledforsweeteners of somesort. Thefruits of choice in thesouthwerelemons, citrons, bitter oranges (thesweettypewas not introduceduntilseveralhundredyearslater), pomegranates, quinces, and, of course, grapes. Furthernorth, apples, pears, plums, andstrawberriesweremorecommon. FigsanddateswereeatenalloverEurope, but remainedratherexpensiveimports in thenorth.
