(Just for you Argali)

This will be split up between the classes like the fashion post.

Xin is a huge nation home to many different environments and peoples. They have also over time imported foods from the west and south.

Lower classes:

The Lower classes generally eat a diet made up of mainly Rice with some sort of meat (Chicken, duck, mutton, and other cheaper meats.) Some also have access to other grains like wheat and barley and some vegetables like carrots, yam, and eggplant. Some also have access to fish and other sea creatures.

Common treats would be Shaobing and berries.

Middle classes:

The middle classes have a healthy amount of rice and grains alongside more expansive meats like pork, duck, and crabs. They also have a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Common treats would be some imported desserts from the west and other types of pastries.

Upper classes:

The upper classes eat what they want when they want. They also have access to the finest foods and the largest quantities. They eat all five of the grains. They also have access to the finer meats like goose, pheasant, and expensive fish. They also import goods from the west.

Common treats would be pretty much anything the individual wants.

Some foods are available to all classes like Chicken and beef as well as other food items like Bamboo shoot stew, Beef and chicken stew, and loads of vegetable stews.

Berries and grapes are a favorite food items for all classes. (Grapes used to have to be purchased from the west until a few traders smuggled in some vines.)
