Food founded in England
Changes in diet over the Years
Britain is an island between the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
No one in England lives more than 120 km (75 miles) from the sea.
For people living near the sea, fish and shellfish have always been
popular foods.
Away from the sea, people first ate wild animals, but then hundreds of years ago they
began keeping sheep, cows and chickens on farms.
Farmers have grown fruit,
vegetables and cereals (for bread making) for centuries too.
During the Middle Ages (11th to 15th Century), Ships brought sugar, nuts and spices
from far away.
The spices were often used to hide the taste of the food which was going
bad! When sailors went to foreign places they bought back more kinds of food.
When fridges and freezes were invented, people could keep food much longer.
What food was "invented" or discovered in England?
1762: The sandwich was invented in England.
