Apples varieties that could be stored for long periods like the “Arkansas Black” were more popular back in the day than sweeter and aesthetically pleasing varieties. There were many fruit varieties popular back then but not as much now. Fruit trees were a real cash crop in certain regions.

It’s true that porridge was popular back then but watching historical cooking videos it shows that these were all common staples as shown.

In reality the major causes of death was dysentery, measles, and other varieties of infectious deseases.
