The purpose of this paper is to make some remarks on the task and method of the history of diet and to present an example of a diet in Provence, a region of southern France, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Food is not only the physiological basis of man's existence, but also a daily expression of a society's culture, in which are reflected economic, social, cultural, climatic conditions of life. So a historical study of diet must analyze a daily diet of people in the context of the living conditions, investigating in diverse aspects its "regime alimentaire". As for the method, three lines of approach may be considered: sociological (psycho-sociological), economic and nutritional approach. In the first approach, one may consider a diet in (psycho-sociological) aspects such as values and symbols of food, racial likes and disliles, table manners, differences of eating habits according to social groups, etc. In the economic approach, one may know how much food wnuld be in disposal of the people in a place, referring to the conditions of production and trade; on the other hand, one will analyze food consumption in terms of domestic economy. In the third approach, one reveals the nutritional characteristics of the "regime alimentaire" and analyzes the effects which it will have on man's health. Combining these three approaches, one can understand the conditions of food life. In this perspective, a case of Provence in the late Middle Ages is studied. First, one considers meat supply and consumption of a city; then a diet of a family and the "regime alimentaire" are referred to in relation to the meat consumption. Finally, this paper points out some characteristics of a medieval diet in Provence.
