Did you know that before the 19th century, lobsters and oysters were poor people's food in London and elsewhere? People literally fished them out of the Thames and sold them on the street

In historical London, diets varied notably by class. The poor and working class often ate bread, cheese, and cheaper meats like stews, with oysters and lobsters being affordable seafood options. The middle class consumed more meat, potatoes, pies, and occasionally indulged in imported treats such as sugar.
