Here's a look at the Victorian Christmas kitchen. There are instructions on making a wassail bowl at 40 minutes into the 55-minute video:
Please share a post with a drink reference with other participants in Elizabeth's T Stands For Tuesday blogger gathering.

Thanks, I will watch them later, I always wanted to know what goes into a wassail bowl!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a sight to behold. It might have been the best era. Such decor!
ReplyDelete...the Victorian era was an interesting time.
ReplyDeleteI see the lady on this Victorian Kitchen video frequently because I follow her playing Mrs. Crocombe who was the head cook for a real life Lord and Lady in the 1880s. It's on The Victorian Way on the English Heritage YouTube channel. I love reenactments and am curious about how they made meals back then. You'd probably like it. They're not long videos, either.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch any modern cooking shows but for some reason am fascinated by the olden days cooking shows--lol! I enjoyed both these videos. :)
I'll look her up, thanks! It's fun to watch other people in kitchens. I'm such a basic cook that everybody else looks fancy :)
DeleteHoly cow. How could anyone eat so much food? I watched the first video (I'll watch the second one later). It was really interesting, but it's a lot of food. But it does explain why there is a brand called Boars Head of deli meats and sausages...They are yummy. Happy T day Nita. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteI agree that is a lot of food. Have a very nice Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific! Thanks for sharing!

I Loved the videos thank you
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy T
This looks like a lot of fun, I will save them for later for my xmas viewing. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteThe cooking video was fascinating. Amazing to think what they prepared without all the modern conveniences.
ReplyDeleteI love historic cooking information, and I’m kind of a stickler for accuracy when authors are writing historic fiction. I’ll have to watch those videos soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Christmas… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
They really indulged in all that food - I can't imagine that they were able to eat all of this. What did they do with a leftover food? Throw it away? Gave it to the poor? The last would have been appropriate given how many people had to live in that era. - I wish you a peaceful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI hope to come back and watch the videos later Divers.. thank you for them.. This is the first time in a while Norton has allowed me to visit your blog. I've missed you!!! Merry Christmas and Happy T day! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteKathy in Ozarks let me know Norton had flagged my blog. I appealed and they changed their setting. It'd still be blocked without me knowing it if she hadn't clued me in.
DeleteLooks like a lot of ingredients.
ReplyDeleteThe Victorians transformed Christmas didn't they, and many of the traditions can be seen today 😊. What a feast! Happy T Tuesday and happy holidays! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteSuper interesting! I would have had to stop at course #3 as I would have been full. Of course, I would have skipped a few of the things. I am so glad you included these! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas, happy T-day and hugz
ReplyDeleteGoodness, no wonder the queen put on so much weight. I watched the first video and will watch the second one later. Thanks for sharing these videos that include wine and wassail with us for T this Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI am off to watch both of these now. They look very interesting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Tea Day and A Merry Christmas,
Kate
Very interesting about Queen Victoria and Prince albert and the traditions they started! So educational! Thanks for sharing. I also have watched most of the Christmas pudding one, will watch the rest later. Happy T Day!
