      I mean, eliminating animal product consumption as much as possible is the most humane thing. But if you're gonna eat meat, wild animals have led much more humane lives than the animals you buy at the grocery store. So hunting/fishing (for food, not trophies) is actually be the most humane meat.

    I deadass expected rabbit's feet tp be stuck in at the end for "decoration". But I guess since this is for servants, they are not worthy of such extravagance.

      Unless you were stacked with money, back then the average person would have 2 or 3 outfits, maybe a 4th if they were really lucky. Clothes were all hand sewn so it would take days even for a more experienced sewer. And with most of the family needing to work to survive that gave little time for it.

This series reminds me of my life and youth from those years. Nowadays there's hardly a market for antiques.

How many days off a week? how were they treated by those above stairs and by Mrs Crocombe and Mrs Warwick, the butler or other staff?
