Click through to the page on medieval diet and it presents a two-meal structure based on grains and alcohol, with the main meal around noon and a lighter one in the evening. Which is about what I’d have thought. Also some interesting moralism around meal timing.
Though it does say that snacking was common (if disapproved-of by the church), so I guess my wild-assed guess there was wrong.
My point was that the technology of the time did not prevent snacking on prepared food. Not that people actually did so. Probably should have actually said that instead of just giving a bare link.
