Food
The food that the renaissance ate depended on whether you were wealthy or a peasants. The peasants ate soups and bread and they even ate vegetables such as carrots and eggs. The peasants didn't really seat meat because the meat was really expensive and rare. But the wealthy people didn't eat like the peasant they ate really expensive meat but the peasant and the wealthy people did have something in common the both ate soups but the wealthy people had more flavor to it.
Clothing
The type of clothing really depended on what you can really afford it. Here are some examples of what the rich people wore back then. The rich men wore colorful tights a really nice shirt and a nice coat. The rich women wore long dress and a nice fur coat. The peasants women wore long dresses but they were really dirty because the dresses were dragged on the dirt and water. The peasant men wore faded clothing.
Language
The language of the Renaissance was a really fancy talk. Here are some examples of some words they used back then.
