    Mrs. Crocombe does not approve of unannounced dinner guests. Considering how labor intensive cooking was at the time, however, I really can't blame her.

      Anyone who serves as a cook, even if it's just cooking for your own family, knows how aggravating it is to have unannounced guests just showing up for dinner. You have to start preparing more dishes--as quickly as possible--when that happens. Not to mention that sometimes we just don't have enough ingredients to make more. This happened to me on occasions, and I DO NOT appreciate it.

    • @MidoriNekoChan

      Not just time and labor intensive but also there was a limited ability to store leftovers, so it wouldn’t have been economical to habitually make more on the chance there might be more diners.

      ​@@nathancarlson7878 Being "In Service" was not slavery. There were tiers of servitude - classes, if you must. The young man that brought the apples was the Third Gardener and he wore a tie. He would have had a decent wage and housing on the grounds, probably a private room and a scullery maid to clean his chamber pot. In the house, Mrs. Crocombe was the boss of the kitchen, probably a step higher than the Head Gardener since she was in the manor, and she was allowed to be married - that was quite a thing. Mrs. Crocombe is not rich - the people she served were. Her cool demeanor was meant to keep the classes in place and let them know that with power came privilege.

    @nathandavis3002 5 років тому +4

    Just made this. Its wonderful, not just to look at, but to taste as well. I added a bit of gelatin to it because I was afraid it wasnt gelling enough but in hindsight that probably wasnt necessary because mine it ended up being even a little firmer than I intended (though i didnt find that to be a problem in any way). I decorated it with almonds (I feel mrs crocombe would not approve of anything less) and candied mint leaves and juliened lemon zest, both of which i made by brushing them lightly with egg white and then tossing with sugar, letting them air dry afterwards for several hours. They turned out delicious and nice and crunchy, not to mention a beautiful garnish. By far the hardest part was getting it out of the mold. i recommend a thin metal one rather than a ceramic one as shown in the video; easier to dunk in hot water to free the edges from the mold. Also required much wiggling and a little bit of manipulating with a finger to break the suction. If you dont have a vintage jelly mold, i suspect one could also put this in a simple saucepan, the result would be a far simpler shape but would, i suspect, have just the same impressive quality.
