2. To start: from the modern day clothing to how the food is prepared in present day
...nothing was the same.
There was no TV, microwave, fast food, telephone so to get information or food it took a while.

3. chocolate was considered a luxury and only royalty could afford it.+

4. How the food was prepared?
Food was prepared from scratch: In order to make bread, you have to go out get the grain, grind it to make flour, the get the other ingredients from your farm like the eggs, and milk. Mix it together until it makes dough and then bake it. ( a long tedious process) +
Get ya bread up=

5. Hygiene There wasn’t any.
Bathing was actually considered unclean therefore causing a lot of problems with bugs and lice (go figure)
What do you mean you bathe everyday?

6. Fashion
Clothing was absolutely gorgeous (for the rich) because the clothing was made from stains, silks, lace, furs, and jewels. They wore corsets on a daily basis.

7. Food Chocolate and sugar was not popular at all.
The French were heavily influenced by the Italian cuisine however in the 17th century a new cuisine was developed for the French.
The cuisine conspired of wine and cheese.
As the time progressed the French baguettes, croissants, mousse au chocolat, é clairs, d'oeuvres, coq au vin, hollandaise sause. And usually food that was rich and creamy. What a time to be alive.
