The English were famous for their love of beef.

It formed one of the main parts of the mens' diet on the Mary Rose.

Each man got about a kilo of meat every day.

The meat was salted and packed in barrels so it would last a long time.

Barrels full of cattle bones where found on the orlop deck of the Mary Rose.
