What inference can be made about the availability of food, based on this passage?
There was plenty of food in Elizabethan England.
There was never enough food in Elizabethan
England.
...storage of food is most important. The principal rule
is to have separate places for different types of
commodity: dry things can be kept in a pantry with bread
and dry linen; wet things are normally stored in the
buttery. Wine and meat must be kept apart, and cellars
should be avoided on account of their dampness. Meat
should be seethed in summer to keep it fresh, then kept
in a cool cellar, soaked in vinegar with juniper seeds and
salt. Most yeomen will have vats and presses for making
cheeses-a valuable source of protein in the long winter
season. Similarly, most livestock owners have troughs for
salting meat or allowing it to steep in brine.
