One of the most patriotic dishes on the Victorian menu, roast beef served with plum pudding was an English staple. It was served at all major celebratory events: births, weddings and - yes - coronations. Join Mrs Crocombe as she prepares this most iconic of centrepieces, with a little help from Mary-Ann.

INGREDIENTS
• A sirloin of beef
• A plum pudding (essentially 'Christmas Pudding' - see video: bit.ly/3HwPsDY)
• Flour and salt for dredging
METHOD
1. Tie up your beef joint tightly with string, so that it doesn't come apart while turning on the spit!
2. Secure the beef joint onto the spit, with the help of a kitchen maid if needed.
3. Dredge the beef generously in flour and salt to help it brown and form a good coating as it roasts.
4. Make the plum pudding and tie up in a muslin clothing with string, before boiling for around two hours.
5. Serve the beef and pudding together with a good gravy made from any juices.

We hope everyone enjoys this new recipe from Mrs Crocombe! As ever, here are the answers to some of your questions from Dr Annie Gray: • What’s the difference between plum pudding and Christmas pudding? Not much! Plum pudding evolved out of the rich, fruited pottages of the medieval and Tudor period, and co-existed with several similar dishes for several centuries. By the 18th century it was established as a boiled pudding, made in a cloth or, as technology and taste changed, a basin or a ceramic or metal mould. You can see lots of moulds behind Mrs Crocombe in our videos: many of these can be used for boiled puddings as well as set creams, jellies and cakes. Plum pudding was invariably served at celebratory occasions, from coming-of-age parties to Christmas. Over the course of the 19th century it became increasingly associated with Christmas and by the 1830s it was sometimes called Christmas pudding. By 1881 the two terms were interchangeable. After the First World War there was a virtual cult of the Christmas pudding, and the name plum pudding started to be lost - however, you can still find the occasional recipe for plum pudding even in the 1950s. See the Christmas Pudding video here: bit.ly/3HwPsDY • Did people really eat beef with plum pudding? Yes they did. Plum pudding was served as part of the second course of an 18th century meal. Meals then were served in a style called à la Française, which comprised three courses, but with multiple dishes in each course, served simultaneously on the table. The second course consisted of poached butchers’ meats (including beef), roast game, vegetables, and substantial sweet dishes such as fruit pies, boiled and baked puddings, and sometimes set creams and jellies. Diners could choose which dishes they ate, and how they ate them. Plum pudding was neither sweet nor savoury: its flavours resemble that of chutney and it contained beef suet, so it was a real crossover dish. It was also a real symbol of Britishness, especially when boiled in a cloth, as was roast beef. The two frequently appeared together in satires, and it’s clear from contemporary writing that they were served together explicitly as a patriotic dish. They are surprisingly good together (especially with gravy). • How would that giant spit have been used? Why can’t we see it in action? As Mrs Crocombe says, roasting in the 19th century meant cooking in front of a fire. Audley End, like any other house of reasonable prestige, had a large roasting range with a smoke-jack built in. This was a mechanism which turned a spit or spits automatically. It consisted of a large fan a little way up the chimney, which was turned by the draw of the fire. This in turn connected via a series of cogs to a chain which turned the spit. They weren’t very efficient, and took quite a lot of maintenance, so were very much a show of wealth. Middle class households might have used a bottlejack set into a separate metal roasting screen instead. By 1881, closed cast iron ranges fuelled by coal or gas were common in new build houses and only old-fashioned (or old-money) families retained the roasting range. Many cooks believed that you could not roast in an oven (technically, they were right, for an oven bakes), and there was a lot of debate over the issue. Sadly, while the roasting range at Audley End can be lit, it isn’t in its original state (it would once have had a boiler built in at the back for providing hot water), and it cannot be used with coal for environmental reasons, which means it is hard to get hot enough to roast properly. The spit works, but is now electric. We didn’t really want to show it to you unless we could show you what it should have looked like, but if you visit Audley End House you'll be able to see it for yourself. • What was eaten at Coronation parties in the Victorian era? Beef and plum pudding, every time. We couldn’t have Mrs Crocombe talk about Coronations, because she hadn’t been born when the last one happened, and the next one wouldn’t be until 1902. However, there were lots of other royal celebrations - there were parties for the birth of the first two of Victoria’s children, and then there were Jubilees in 1887 and 1897. For both of the last two, we have plenty of accounts of the planning and execution of street parties across the country. Invariably, the local butchers provided beef, the local inns and cookhouses cooked it (or sometimes a spit was set up outside with most of a cow on it), and the bakers and caterers provided plum puddings. Tea and beer were served, and people brought their own mugs and eating implements. The royals and their invited guests had big celebratory meals of their own, but there were no specific coronation foods at that level of society.

@English Heritage c/o Mrs Crocome - Yes, I am indeed a peasant, so let's get that out of the way. But I am a non-meat eating peasant (as you so kindly pointed out in your presentation - we cannot afford meat >_< even if we wanted it), so is there some good substitute for suet to use in plum pudding for us veggy-tarians? (I am aware that the taste will differ somewhat.)

@BrentLm Год назад

you can find veggie suet in some areas. you could freeze vegetable shortening and grate it. if you go that route, you will need to keep everything (bowl/plate and grater) cold. you might need to do it in stages if it's warm and the shortening starts to thaw. also, you will probably want to pop the shredded shortening back in the freezer to firm up a bit before using it.

@@raraavis7782 but think about it-i read a book years and years ago about a man who could see the future and was shocked that a mere loaf of bread was sold for the price of a week's wages 😮 If you think about what we pay now for fancy loaf (I pay $3.49 for the one I like if I don't feel like baking my own) from $1.50 to $6.99 for very fancy sourdough around here. That would have been a whole week's wage, if not more in those times. I have to also say that we are doubling our garden this year and we are buying another chest freezer. We calculate the cost of the veg we grow and buy meat with it in summer. We filled the freezer last year with garden produce and meat caught on good sales. I can and dehydrate veg too. Before prices went bonkers I was playing round with growing mushrooms on logs out back so far the oyster mushrooms and shiitake are doing very well.. and hopefully will continue to go for another 4 or 5 years. We don't often eat a lot of beef tho. That sirloin made my stomach growl lol.

@LaraPL Год назад

This is the sad truth of the present. Food has gone up by at least 100%. I can't remember the last time I ate beef. I pay the same for really basic food as I used to for specials. And I am middle class. I prefer not to wonder what people poorer than me eat :( My mother, who remembers the times of communism, here in Poland, says that we eat almost the same as then, only then we had money, but there was nothing on the shelves in the shops, and now the shops have everything, only we have no money.

@raraavis7782 Год назад

@@LaraPL Time to bring back backyard chickens and veggies instead of flowerbeads. Wish, I had the option. But I live in a tiny appartement. And unfortunately the people who can afford houses and gardens are often not the ones, strapped for cash. There's a lot of potential for home grown food, to supplement store bought. But it would take a major shift in people's attitude, to make that happen. After 50 years of tidy, carefully manicured lawns, people see gardens as purely ornamental now. Not as a place, where food could be grown. And of course, it's not as easy as just planting something and *boom* you got a great harvest. It takes knowledge and experience and sometimes luck (as far as the weather is concerned). And you have to have the time and energy. Also a problem for many. Especially since kids aren't used to doing much in the way of chores anymore.

@Emeraldwitch30 Год назад

Ive been to Williamsburg here in the the US and they have little meat turning things that could be cranked up and would run for about 20 to 30 minutes to turn the spit. The cooks there explains that usually one of the youngest household maids or family children was in charge of watching the spit and cranking it back up every time it ran out. It was pretty cool to see in action but I was a chef for years when younger and ive always lived seeing how things were cooked throughout the ages. Even as a child in girlscouts(they no longer do these im told) we had an overnight campout and cooked over a fire but we also took 2 chickens and a couple fish and wrapped them in burdock leaves and then smeared them with a thick layer of clay and then were buried in the coals to cook. (Separately tho not one big bundle. Lol ) every so often the adults helped us put more coals over. That chicken and fish turned out really good.

I thought how brave she was to move to America being she was an only daughter moving away from her family. My grandparents owned a farm and her two brothers worked the farm with my grandfather. But my fondest memories were spending time with all my cousins and learning how to ride horses English style, and having this dish on Sunday dinner with a trifle for dessert. 😊💗

I like how they make it seem she's cooking in daytime with the birds chirping, but clearly it's dark outside the window.

It's been a while since I heard the phrase, "For this recipe, you will need" It sounds nostalgic

I agree, nobody wants their beef flaps all over the place during a spitroast

We have our Miss Crocombe telling us all the stuffs relating to roasting beef and all that. And then there's Mary-Ann about to either commit a murder or enter a jousting tournament.

I guess roast beef and plum pudding are like pork chops and applesauce...it's a weird combo, but it works!

Press F in the chat for Mary-Anne.

Timestamp 7:09 says "time to serve" but I'm pretty sure Mrs Crocombe SERVES during every second of every video 💅

Wonderful! So happy to see Mrs. Crocombe!

@amikireicraftstore Год назад

This is so relaxing to me ♡ Mrs.Crocombe witty comments and today literally roasting beef make my day any day ♡

@ColinsTravels Год назад

2:34 - 3:20 gives me Hyacinth (of Keeping Up Appearances) vibes! I love the shade Mrs. Crocombe gives!

@jeraldbaxter3532 Год назад

I've often wondered what it would be like if, in some imaginary realm, what it would be like if Mrs. Crock be and "our Hyacinth" should meet.

@ColinsTravels Год назад

@@jeraldbaxter3532 someone should make a show out of that!

@scotify4247 Год назад

I'm so in love with Mrs Crocombe.

@anayelisoria37 Год назад

I need a crossover between this show and The Mandalorian, so I can say "This is the Way... the Victorian Way". (sorry, I'm insomniac)

@AlbertaRose94 Год назад

No need to apologize. I’m awake at 11:35 pm but my husband is sound asleep. I do my best not to ask this but could you give this a like so I get a notification and can inflict, I mean share, your comment with my husband?

"Our overs have turning tables inside them" damn called us out fellow poors 🤣

@scraperindustry Год назад

"Roasting is one of the most prestigious ways of cooking meat. And when I say roasting, I mean cooking in front of an open fire, not putting it into an oven and baking it." Oh yeah? Well, I make mine in an air fryer! Take that Mrs Crocombe! :))

@madabbafan Год назад

An air FRYER you say? For that there is no punishemnt too severe therefore you will be turned into sausage rolls for lunch in the servants hall. That will teach you.

@Wosiewose Год назад

What size of roast, what temperature, and for how long?

@journeyofamidwestquilter Год назад

"Most people can barely afford meat, let alone beef!" Wow, if that's not 2023 in one sentence, especially in the US, and I imagine in other countries as well!

@krysab6125 Год назад

Sadly still true in the UK, 2023 😒

Here on the Mex-US border we buy Mexican beef -- either imported or we buy it across the border ourselves. It's much cheaper and tastier than the American counterpart. I feel bad for those outside the region, though.
