Lady Braybrooke's son-in-law, Mr Strutt, is to go to London on the train, so Mrs Crocombe is busy preparing him a picnic basket for his travels. These handmade sausage rolls, accompanied by refreshing raspberryade, will keep him sustained on the journey - and will make an unusual addition to your own summer picnic, too.

INGREDIENTS
For the sausage rolls:
• 350g sausage meat
• Bread dough to make around 12-13 rolls
For the raspberryade:
• 115g brown sugar
• 100g redcurrants
• 125g raspberries
• 4pt water
• 1tsp cream of tartar
• Heated water
METHOD
Sausage rolls:
1. Divide your bread dough into a baker's dozen (13) rolls
2. Make a dimple in the centre of each roll and fill with sausage meat, enclosing the dough around the meat to make a parcel
3. Bake in a fast oven (200-220°C) for 20 minutes
Raspberryade:
1. Place your raspberries and redcurrants in a mixing bowl
2. Add the sugar and bruise together with a pestle or wooden spoon
3. Add enough hot water to dissolve the sugar
4. Leave to infuse for several hours
5. When the fruit flavour has sufficiently infused, add a teaspoon of cream of tartar to create fizz
6. Ladel into bottles using a funnel and seize or muslin to remove the bits, making sure to use bottles that are safe for fizzy drinks

We hope you enjoy the latest episode of The Victorian Way! Here are the answers to some questions you might have about this recipe... What's brewer's yeast? In 1881 there were two types of commonly used yeast. One was brewer’s yeast, sometimes called barm, which was the froth taken from the top of beer when it was brewed. It was quite weak and not very reliable. By the 1850s a new type of processed yeast was available, known as German yeast or compressed yeast. It came in blocks and is usually sold as fresh yeast today. You could use a sourdough bread dough, but it was rare in Victorian Britain and regarded as 'poverty food.' What is lardy cake? Lardy cake is a bread dough based cake which was very popular in the Midlands and western East Anglia. What's a baker's dozen? A dozen is of course 12 of something, but a 'baker's dozen' refers to 13. A leading theory for this is to do with the size of loaves. In Medieval England, bakers found to be selling undersized loaves could face fines or even flogging. So it's thought that many bakers supplied an extra 13th loaf with their dozen, just to be on the safe side - hence, Baker's Dozen. How did Mary-Ann glaze the rolls? A common way to get a nice glaze on bread rolls is with an egg-wash. Just brush on a mixture of egg and water before baking. Alternatively you could use milk or cream, butter (or margarine) or simply a brush of oil. Can I visit Audley End House for myself? You can!

I really does make a difference to have a good relationship with good suppliers. I live near a market hall that was established in the very early 1800s. The quality and prices are much better than what I used to buy at supermarkets. The chicken I buy at my butcher's (established circa 1880) there, is rich with flavour. And the produce I buy at my greengrocer's there, is seasonal, local, and perfectly ripe... unlike the supermarkets' produce, which was shipped in from a long way away, while still unripe.

@trishoconnor2169 Год назад

I actually find it kind of surprising how much this shows a nineteenth-century country manor house functioning in ways I think of as "urban": bread bought from a bakery, and sausage from a butcher's shop, rather than having their own baker to make bread from grain grown on the estate and their own butcher to prepare meat from livestock raised on the estate. I guess you have to go farther back to reach the times when these estates were more self-contained.

@merchantfan 19 дней назад

Butchers have been a village mainstay for a long time, not many people want to deal with all that blood and gore to clean up and the butcher would have more variety than just going to kill an animal (not to mention if you want a cut of cow or pig there's a lot of heavy duty work to cleave the body apart while saving as much meat as possible). Villages also usually had a baker bc ovens were huge fire hazards but I'm guessing back when white flour was a lot rarer it made more sense to make bread in the manor since the stuff from the village baker was probably 'yucky' whole wheat and barley.

@@mynamejeff3545 it's about an hour today from London Liverpool St to Audley end (lovely day out, highly recommend, but clearly I need to up my snacks game next time). One can look online (e.g. National Archives) at Victorian train timetables and the journey, depending on the service, is approximately two hours. After the "Railway Mania" of the 1840s there was a lot of infrastructure build and train travel was considered fairly reliable, especially in the Home Counties. Even tripling that, I think I'd survive with that picnic. Yet, I believe Mrs Crocombe, redoubtable as she is, was preparing for every eventuality by giving one adult man a half dozen large sausage rolls; the same again of sandwiches; about the same of some generous looking biscuits; plus strawberries and cream; two bottles of raspberryade and a bottle of claret from Mr Lincoln for a journey of way less than half a day.

It’s not exactly the same thing…but there was a great show called; *Lords and Ladles,* which had a team of chefs going to these manors and recreating the exact historic menus that were documented/served (typically the menus were for a special occasion). They use not only the exact recipes, but try to always use the same cooking equipment, types of ingredients, harvesting/hunting practices and methods of preparation-even the tables are set in an era accurate way! (And since the items are usually passed down as family heirlooms, oftentimes the tables are set with the very same decor/serving items that were used at the actual event). I wish it had been given far more seasons than it was-but the few seasons we have are still fascinating!!

Life in the Victorian manor seem so normal and peaceful with its own rhythm according to seasons and social obligations; for the upstairs and downstairs. There’s a certain sense of security in the predictable. Changes may seem exciting but know how your day to day goes would make me feel like the world is right.

@idraote Год назад

I think that might be the reason why period romances are so popular. The authors try to convey that sense of order, with everyone "knowing their place" which can be very reassuring.

@spacewolfcub Год назад

Psychologically, even positive change causes stress. It makes sense that some people would find an inflexible structure dictating their days soothing. It would probably contrast horribly with any necessary changes and cause so much distress… Maybe that was why they made “an occasion” out of so many transitions - to help them adapt their inflexible thinking to changes.

she got a 1/2 day off each week. there were no weekends yet. if you weren't gentry or rich, your life was drudgery.

@mynamejeff3545 Год назад

Remember this is a romanticized image of what it was like to live and work in a Victorian mansion: this exact life was infamous for being stifling and mind-numbingly dull for the upper classes, and hard work for little pay for the servants (Mrs. Crocombe has only a half-day a week off, and that's for a comparatively well-respected upper servant). There were a lot more exciting places to be at the time.

@TechBearSeattle Год назад

It's interesting that sausage rolls have been around since at least Victorian times. I'm not sure I've ever seen them made with regular bread dough, the ones I've seen in the UK are more like puff pastry.

'A picnic hamper for one' with 6 meat filled rolls, 8 small sandwiches, cookies, strawberries, cream, two bottles of lemonade and a bottle of wine. For a 2 hour train ride in between two homes with a private chef each.

@Terahnee Год назад

THIS. Hah. I'm like, that'd be a nice little luncheon for me and my family of 4...

@silvasilvasilva Год назад

To be fair, my gran and mother still pack huge amounts of food for bus journeys that aren't even long enough for a toilet break...

@myladycasagrande863 Год назад

Yup, a picnic hamper for one very thirsty and rather hungry man.

@tracy907 Год назад

I was thinking the same. How much food does one man need for relatively short train ride??

@myladycasagrande863 Год назад

Maybe he wants enough to share?

@doodleblockwell2610 Год назад

I live in "New" Hampshire and don't cook as often as I should, but I have been hooked on these videos for years. Mrs. Crocombe is treasure for the entire English speaking world. Well done! It looks delicious. I do hope the man servant is not forgotten by the holder of this magnificent basket of goodness.

@campbellhouse6569 Год назад

My grandmother made fresh bread every morning. Of course, her schedule wasn't busy like mine and life was much simpler. It's good to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life like a picnic.

@dragonlord0666 Год назад

no, your grandmothers day was just as, if not more, busy as yours, she just had it down pat to make it look like she was not rushed off her feet. remember she did not have all the conveniences we have today

I advise you to binge watch "Vicious" episodes. its a british sitcom with sir ian McKellen and sir Derreck Jacobi. its absolutely hilarious. all full episodes are on youtube. Laughing produces all kinds of good things in the brain which is very healthy. McKellen and Jacobi ( Stuart and Freddy) make insulting into an absolute art form.

If you're curious about the history and impact of the railways in Britain, there's an excellent BBC series called "Full Steam Ahead", starring Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn, and Alex Langlands. It starts with the earliest small trains built for mines, and continues to the modern era. And one episode covers the railways' impact on the foods people ate---including at railway station cafés, when trains usually stopped for 10 minutes at each station, to allow passengers to have a very quick meal, or use the loo.

Blame the big corporations that arose during the early 20th century. They encouraged wastefulness and excesses. Took away affordable public transport to force people to buy automobiles, began using forever chemicals in manufacture and did lots of harmful long-term things.

@dawne6419 Год назад

At the risk of bringing Mrs Crocombe's wrath upon me, there are packaged bread doughs ready to bake in the store. We've bought Rhodes yeast rolls and bread loaves as a shortcut (US). In fact, my spouse likes to take the thawed rolls and work them together to make a full loaf.

Mr Strutt must have a healthy appetite indeed... All that food would be enough for the trip and a dinner and that even if you chose to feed your manservant too.

I noticed that Ms. Crocombe has new bowls...though I did prefer the old ones she used. They were chipped yes but that shows they were used so often to make her dishes for Lady and Lord Braybrooke as they were quite popular.
