Slaves were usually given a months worth of food at a time and had to ration it throughout the month. Their food usually consisted of cornmeal and some sort of meat. Since meat has to be refrigerated to be kept good, slaves would either eat it all at the beginning of the month or try to eat the rotten food throughout the month. Most of the meat would end up rotting, so most slaves would only end up with their cornmeal, and if that was gone they’d starve. Slaves were fed at least once a day and were rarely offered another chance to eat that day.

Slaves were given a short amount of time to make and eat their food at the beginning of their day. They would then go to work and were rarely offered a time to eat and prepare food for dinner. The slaves were not allowed to eat other than their allowed dining times. Any time a slave was fed they would always prepare it themselves.

How did food differ from Slaveholder to Slaveholder? 

# data[].attributes.body
Most of the slaveholders would give their slaves food on a monthly basis to ration out, but some would give their slaves food a weeks worth to less to ration through the week.  Each Slaveholder had different ways of “punishing” their workers and most of them (the really mean ones) would give their slaves hardly enough food to survive, and at times even nothing at all.
