Most of the people did not mention one of the staple crops the Roman introduced to Gaul and Londinium, Barley also one did mention Oats, in Mideveal Time this was used for breads, soups, porridges and other baked goods and cakes.
Friuts and Honey were added to make sweet breads and somehting like the Scottish Oatcake available now, as yeast was used for both bread and the brewing industry, barley has played an important part in the food history of Great Britain.

Breads, Bean Broth, curds and cheese.Milk and ale to drink.
Cod in 1490's from Newfoundland.
Sir Frances Drake brought back potatoes in 1500's from Cartegena in Spain. Oh and cabbages were introduced by the Romans! Interesting fact- the first fast food was the sandwich so the Earl of Sandwich could carry on gambling while he ate!

I heard people used to eat parsnips before potatoes were introduced. I don't know if that's true, though. But it's actually nice when roast. I don't like it boiled.

Potatoes simply replaced some of the bread in the British diet. So, the answer to your question would be 'various types of bread, depending on the flours that were available to people in different areas, and how much money they could afford to spend.'

Well--about a few hundred years before potatoes were invented-they ate passing animals like horses and foxes, usually with chips.
Later on, when e numbers were available the North/South divide happened when north people ate black pudding and tripe cooked in dripping---and south people (as they were called) ate much more refined meals like KFC and Wimpy (not sure what they are).
I hope this information is not too technical.

Potatoes pretty much took the place of bread on the plate.

As a cheap, staple source of protein, which our ancestors could grow easily around their cottages, to keep starvation at bay - you and I probably owe our very existence to the humble broad bean.

At that time in history, probably anything and everything. Bread was most likely source of carbs.

Pies. Meat pies like pasties. They probably eat porridge, like oat meal and bread. Remember, they allegedly invented sandwich.
