I think I would never want to eat… I find it really… that medieval people would eat…
I regularly eat…, such as… I also use…, for example… Occasionally, I eat…
I have never eaten…, and I think I would like to try it. It is said to be…, and I wonder…
I think I would never want to eat birds like storks, swans or singing birds such as larks. I find it really strange that medieval people would eat these birds on a regular basis, while they have a totally different status today: people feed them and care for them rather than treat them as a potential meal.
I regularly eat a lot of the vegetables which were also popular in the Middle Ages, such as carrots, onions or beets. I also use plenty of spices with my meals, for example black pepper, cinnamon or ginger. Occasionally, I eat fish like trout, but that’s not my favourite food.
I have never eaten any kind of game, and I think I would like to try it. It is said to be good, lean meat and I wonder what it tastes like.

Exercise5
Study the mind map above. Type in the missing letters to fill in the gaps in the text. As with many other historical periods, what medieval people ate largely depended on their social status. Peasants’ 1. sTu uzupełnij were based on cereals and grains, mostly 2. bTu uzupełnij or 3. rTu uzupełnij. They ate a lot of 4. pTu uzupełnij, a kind of stew made from 5. oTu uzupełnij and vegetables. Most people preserved foods that had been salted or pickled, such as pickled 6. hTu uzupełnij or 7. pTu uzupełnij from pigs, which were cheap to keep as they were able to fend for themselves in the forest. Peasants were forbidden to hunt animals such as 8. dTu uzupełnij or rabbits that lived in woodland surrounding most villages, as they were considered to be the property of the lord. In contrast, a nobleman’s diet consisted of freshly killed meat, for instance 9. gTu uzupełnij, and river fish like 10. tTu uzupełnij or 11. bTu uzupełnij. Their dishes were heavily flavoured with valuable imported spices, such as 12. pTu uzupełnij or 13. nTu uzupełnij. Banquet tables were decked with spectacular dishes, for example roasted 14. pTu uzupełnij adorned with their own feathers and dried fruit like dates. All the dishes looked very colourful, and many of them were dyed to achieve this effect, for example by using 15. sTu uzupełnij for vivid yellow, or sandalwood for red.
