Much like today, that's dependent on your current liquidity... I'm sure you could pop by the nearby inn or market and grab whatever striked your fancy if you could afford it.

Even a king couldn't get sound nutrition by today's standards throughout most of history, simply because of availability. There just weren't much of any fruit and vegetables in the winter. Even when I was poor I could still get mixed frozen vegetables whenever I wanted (well, 0700-1900 Mo-Sa) for like 3€/kg. Sure, there's food deserts today, but it surely isn't as widespread an issue as it used to be.

Okay, yes, there's always an edge case.
