Queen Elizabeth I was such an influential person in the world during her lifetime that the period of her reign is called the Elizabethan Era. Some of our most famous art and literature come from this era of history, and English explorers traveled the globe, spreading their influence and bringing back new discoveries. With all of these innovations, life in England during Queen Elizabeth’s time was a golden era that would impact our world to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Food<\/span><\/h2>\n

People in Elizabethan times ate similar meals to what we enjoy today. Many people had to be awake before dawn, so breakfast was a quick bite for servants and farmers. The midday meal was called “dinner” and might be eaten on the go, though those who could afford to stop working to eat at home would do so. The evening meal was called “supper” and was eaten at home. For all but the very poor, supper had many dishes. The wealthy partook of savory meats that were smoked, boiled, or even fried. Less fortunate people still ate very well but ate more vegetables and got their protein in the forms of milk and cheese. Spices were very important because they kept the food from being bland. New fruits and vegetables from the New World also found their way onto Elizabethan plates.<\/span><\/p>\n
