And our peasants' "better food" was being exported too, you know?
And later, since more or less end of feaudalism (it took longer here), workers would strike and rebel demanding bread (in literal bread riots), and this wasn't because they were so bored of meat, but because (dark) bread and some kind of thin soup was all what they were eating in order to not starve. And this was the case of pre-20th-century England too, where since industrialization and capitalism (and potatoes) have arrived much earlier.
