What did the colonists eat for supper?

Colonists' supper varied based on their region and social status, but common foods included stews, roasted meats, fish, vegetables, and bread. They often consumed seasonal produce like squash and beans, along with grains such as corn or wheat. Meals were hearty and often accompanied by cider or beer, as water was not always safe to drink. Preservation methods like salting, smoking, and pickling were used to store food for the winter months.
