What Food Did The Victorian Working Class Eat To Survive?

Near the start of the 19th century, it is estimated that two-thirds of England’s population lived in poverty. At the end of the Victorian era, this figure was still very high, at over 25%. Only one to two percent of Victorian England belonged to the upper class, while 15% were in the middle classes. Which means over 80% of people in Victorian England were in the working classes. The quality of food for them was poor and limited in terms of quantity. To have daily nourishment when money was always scarce, they used creativity, imagination and all of their available resources. So, what food did Victorian working people eat to survive?
