What food and drink were eaten in Victorian times?

Answer 1

Water, milk, broth (a weak vegetable soup, maybe flavoured with a meatbone), beer.

The beer wouldn't have been the kind of beer we drink, but cloudy and weaker. Water was not always safe to drink in medieval times, especially in urban areas.

Answer 2

Most of the drinks known today were also known then. Rich Victorians would only occasionally drink beer, beer being considered a drink for commoners; but coffee, tea, wines, and spirits like brandy, port, liqueurs and whiskey were regular fare. Rich Victorian ladies were supposed to stick to non-alcoholic beverages and wines (and the occasional liqueur).

Water - other than for use in tea and coffee and the occasional lemonade - was not a common drink in upper-class Victorian circles.
