4:10 I can't believe after 59 years I have realized where the word stores come from, like grocery stores,clothing stores, furniture stores, any stores. An old dog can learn something new every day! Thank you Real Royalty!
Erin Norquist this series has been so fun to binge watch! I’ve been pretend vacationing with them, all the joy of travel, none of the fuss of packing and unpacking. I’m having so much fun with all the history and the dishes.
This reminds me of the cabinet pudding my grandma used to make: she used old bread, raisins and the egg milk mix. Then the pudding was filled in a special pudding mold (which I still have today) and steamed in hot water. The pudding was popped out and served with a zabaion made of white wine and egg whites. For children the zabaion was replaced by vanilla custard. Yummy...
I found this series, quite by accident, and I'm SO glad I did. I LOVE Tim & Rosemary. This series is FANTASTIC !!! They sure did eat vast amounts of meat & game. I, myself, very rarely eat meat & I know some folks will laugh at me, but I CANNOT stand the thought of hurting an innocent animal. Please, people, do not write me ONLY to laugh & poke fun. I've been this way ALL my life. I would really love to see one on vegetables !!
BootsNsaddle there was a video on pastry that had asparagus in it. Naturally I can’t find it now. I understand your point of view and don’t disrespect your decision. Everyone deserves to live happily as long as you don’t harm other people. Have a lovely day you fantastic human. Love from America from a not crazy person. 😉
@@mza2195 ""Asparagus in a pastry", Now, that sounds FANTASTIC !! I, also am in America. Texas, to be exact. I don't think we are at the hub of exotic cooking, LOL. My weakness is pastries, NOT anything sweet, but something with a bit of a crust. Another one of my idiocracies(?), I suppose. No meats & no sweets. I've just never had a craving for sweets, except a "Butterfinger", maybe 3 or 3 times a yr.
BootsNsaddle I have quite a few friends in Texas! I’m in California and while some people are all about creative food I’m a pretty simple girl. Except for Korean food, my Korean half will go happily feral for my comfort food. My husband and kids look at me funny when I do my “happy food dance”, but I don’t care. Lol. I used to love sweets, but I just lost the taste for it. Better for my butt! A butterfinger sounds good though.
@@mza2195 "Feral"? Only 'feral'?? Why.......I go absolutely rabid over anything within a 'pastry' or a noodle or a dumpling. Chicken pot pie? Keep the chicken, and hand that crust, right into my little fat paw, LOL. Did you say 'noodles'? The large, wide, buttery kind ??....in a sauce ?.......browned in the oven, with a slight crust ?? Then, you best hand them over....the ENTIRE pot of noodles, if you please. Mz A, some folks rob banks or jewelry stores. Me? just give me those damn noodles or whatever you're baking that has a crust. WOW, one of my best friends was from Korea, her name was Cho.
I know I am late to the game finding the series but so happy that I did and I do have to say this one I find to be my favorite only because the laughter the playfulness the camaraderie was so genuine and authentic and a much more relaxed atmosphere than some of the others and I find I enjoyed it above all the the rest because of it! Bravo!!!
Love these episodes.....I would like to know how many of the dishes had to be made to accommodate so many people. For instance...how many of these puddings were made for a typical dinner with guests.
@ Margaret Palmer ......... I also am of that mind. I would like to know WHEN & HOW such preparations were started, how many folks were needed, what their schedules were like. Though I'm quite certain these folks most likely worked 24/7 or most certainly, 18/6 or even less.
It’s amazing how some of these dishes are very inexpensive to get the ingredients. The only issue is that many are/were very labor intensive to put together. Aspic for instance was replaced by powdered gelatin decades ago and made jello from a high end dish to something institutions can serve.
I am going to play the pudding part of the video and write down the recipe with the measurements that were given. I believe the correct amount of every ingredient is spoken out loud in this part. For the sauce though, I think I will have to guess at the amounts for the ingredients that were mentioned. I look forward to trying this recipe.
@@jeanninegodwin2285 Yes, your right. The ingredients for the steamed pudding are said out loud. How long to steam.... the sauce too? Good Luck 🍀 Love Rosemary and these videos.
That's a very misleading joke, for "real" as "royal" is an adjective and "real" as referring to reality is a noun. Also: the translation for royalty is "realeza", and for reality is "realidade".
@@JeSuisAsra, you are right. I was thinkink about it after I wrote this, and these questions came to light. So, the 'joke' worked in my head once, but is not a usable joke.
There may have been a lot of alcohol put into that sauce, but by the time it was done cooking, it would have all evaporated off. The actual sauce, as served, would have had only a tiny trace of alcohol left. So while it would have tasted of the booze, it wouldn't have had any of the kick.
17:10 that's fascinating that they did the whole 3D painting effect back then too! Or maybe I'm just noticing that now and they always did something like this to that effect at that point in time 🤷.
Finally, allowing us simple Bourgeois ppl a glimpse into royalty ...but the understanding that they still had archaic needs, eating, illness, wants and desires,appetites, favors, and cheating spouses...but really that stripped down of their crown and jewels 💎, they were humans first! They were born, they lived, and they died. Death is the gr8 equalizer. It comes to us all!
Unless it’s regular ol’ Jello, I can’t deal with food that jiggles. Makes my stomach flip over. Blame my aunt. My uncle was an engineer, so we had to have every new gadget/technology which came on the market ASAP. We had one of the first commercial microwaves back in the 1970s - huge, scary thing. We lived on the coast of Lake Michigan, thus had a lot of Chinook Salmon & Lake Trout in the freezer at all times. They’re big, fatty fish, sometimes up to 50-60 lbs. When we got the microwave, the first thing my aunt did was put a fresh filet on a paper plate & nuke it. Do you know what happens to a thick chunk of fatty fish when that happens? It becomes a hot, JIGGLY mound of steaming, stinky fish. That was decades ago, and I’m getting nauseous just thinking about it. 🤢
WindWoman 3 what a waste of fish. Microwave fish sounds disgusting by the way, I’m sorry you had to see and smell that. I’m nauseous thinking about it.
This was one of the best episodes of this series. I loved the hilarious anecdotes and the "sauce" on the pudding, which was nothing more than a mixed drink. I wonder if alcohol based sauces are where calling liquor "sauce" came from or the sayings "lay off the sauce" or getting "sauced."
Just a plain bread pudding with rum sauce is our standard 'leftover' dessert. It's so cheap and easy and we use every heel from loaves of bread or crusty left over Italian or baguette loaves. We just tuck them in the freezer until there's enough for a pan, we grab a box of raisins from solar general and a cheap bottle of rum, some staple ingredients most kitchens have already and YUMMY night cap!
Lovely story about the purpose build driveway, but I wonder if they might have mixed up the two entrances, because the still existing meandering road is the one that leads to Cambridge more directly, and is also the one that is named 'Victoria Drive' on maps.
The name of that dessert implies that it's normal to go through so much cake and cookies that you always have a leftover to throw into a bowl to make a pudding out of.
When i worked in restaurant ,we baked lot of cakes ,vanilla, chokolate etc on the paper lined oven trays, used cutting rings for what size we needed, always leftover bits for puddings and crumbs and so.
@@wareforcoin5780 That's because it was normal for a large house. The kitchens of mansions and the like were ran almost exactly like a restaurant, so MrPH30 was spot-on. Regarding cabinet pudding itself: this is just a gussied-up version of it. Stale bread, old cake, scraps, etc... were more typical. Cabinet pudding was a frugal dish for the poor and rich alike. Waste not, want not.
@@aprilbennett4161 I'm commenting on the scale of food consumption of a single household. I get that rich people do rich stuff. The dish puts into perspective how much cake rich Victorians went through, is my point.
The kitchens and all around the house made food and items of all kinds for the large farm which the grand house was part of also, and many people there each day of staff and visitors ,so it probably went baking a lot all day,and lot of leftovers ,day old bread ,sponges and lot more.
Is Tim ok? Normally he is more happy happy joy joy when he sees a dish served upon him. Or was he genuinely disgusted? Even Rosemary had a momentary look of concern flashed over her face.
Probably more than we think but less than they should have. They spent a lot of time doing "house cleaning" especially in their kitchens (at least the well off) so it follows that the cooks would wash their hands while working in there, just maybe not as often as we would.
Queen Victoria guuuuuurl you were like the Victoria and David Beckham of your age so of course everybody wanted to get a glimpse at you two. I would have been in front row trying to peak you two.
He likes to scold her to not be so naughty her mission to make him shine .Oh no he loved her both had different way of expressing. That's the beauty of the Jesus match.
I disagree. I'll bet that pudding's delicious. Crumbled cakes and cookies, butter, dried fruit, baked in custard, and served with an alcohol-based fruity syrup - what's not to like?
Were people toothless back in the day where they couldn't eat anything that isn't slimy? So far I've seen gelatinous and mushy textured dishes, nasty! If that's royal food they can have it. Pass me a plate of grilled crispy fish and veggies - something you can actually eat, not slurp, lol 😆
