      I don't know if I would go as far as to use venison (not really that fond of the taste) but I wonder if I could do with beef. You know, now that I am thinking about it, maybe I will do it with venison. Being in Texas I have a sister who's freezer is filled with venison. Also, I have always wanted to make a medieval dish. I am just so fascinated with this period in Great Britain's history. This Christmas it will be on our Christmas table , don't know if anyone will eat more than a taste but that's alright. I can at least mark it off my bucket list!❤️

      Mince pies still have the meat 'throwback', in the form of suet. More recently the suet can be vegetarian 'suet', but up until only 10 or so years ago, animal suet was the norm. As a non meat-eater here in the UK, I still have to check the ingredients list on ready made mince pies, just in case.

    The stillroom was such a *fascinating* part of pre-21st century homes; it wasn’t actually _just_ about distilling, but also other kinds of preserving- in fact, Kathy’s marzipan would have been made there - it was where some of the house’s most expensive ingredients were stored; spices, sugar, imported things like foreign fruits & nuts, & so on.

    When you boil a pudding or anything that is going to take a while, always keep a 2nd pot of water boiling to replace what evaporates from the cooking pot. Adding cold water to a cooking pot will reduce the temperature too much and could ruin the food.

  • @bonniegarber9915

    I believe that is why they started making walled gardens during that time of cold. The bricks would absorbe the sun's heat and extend it through the night. Fruit trees were made to grow along the walls. Giving a longer growing season. We should take heed of history because we are already into this next cold period.

      There's actually a reason why the majority of recipes are boiled. Up until the invention of the gas cooker, there was no way to regulate temperature when you were cooking (your best way of cooking was create a flame and hope you dont overcook anything) so boiling was the easiest way to cook something at a consistent temperature

      I always throw any berries that are shriveling in my fridge into my beef or lamb stock for stews. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries all add a deep rich color to the stew with some gentle acidity and the slight sweetness they give isn’t detectable in the final stew; it just balances the saltiness and meatiness. I strain out the solids from the stock and then re-add the meat with “proper” stew veggies like roast root veggies, squash, onions, mushrooms, etc.
      I also save apple cores and peels with veg scraps for stock.

      It was mainly in India but don't forget there were many different country's, I believe manila was occupied by Spain and as Spain was fighting with the French at the time, phillipines was a target.( And England has never got on with Spain anyway) The east India company used to scour Asia for new ventures and money making opportunities. so Britain controlled manila for a time Also as the empire was the most vast trading exchange and even country's that the British didn't get spices from directly it could have been indirectly traded. For example we obviously had meat but it could still be imported from Australia which took months by ship so you wouldn't expect it, but it was all about wealth and showing how rich you are by securing various different items. Further the better. but yes manila was controlled by the British.

    Looks like English pudding is sort of like our American dressing or stuffing most made with bread here and other bits of things if you desire but mostly bread and spices and broth then baked… or instant like Stove top Stuffing mix

    I use pepper in my medieval gingerbread and it adds a definite medieval edge ... the spice isn’t as pokey as pepper usually is when it’s mixed with honey 🍯.

      @stanlygirl5951 2 роки тому

      I use just a small pinch of cayenne and another of white pepper, then lots of ginger. Makes it nice and spicy. I do prefer using dark or blackstrap molasses instead of honey, though.

    We have a fabulous book (dating from the 1970s) called “Seven Centuries of English Cooking”, my Mum used to make the exquisite Honey & Saffron Quiche from that book at Christmas time. Can’t quite remember but in the book it appears in association with Henry VIII … either a marriage or coronation 🤷🏼‍♀️
