      Prussian blue is an antidote for some heavy metals poisoning. "According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, an adult male can eat at least 10 g of Prussian blue per day without serious harm." Eat away! (On a serious note, please don`t eat paint, it`s not worth it).

      @@Just.a.person59 sherbet is fruit based and not creamy, though it has milk. It has no egg in it. Home made ice cream usually started with a custard made from cream, egg yolk, sugar, cooked on a stove, then cooled. Flavors were added of any kind, from fruit to vanilla and chocolate. It was much creamier and smoother than sherbet. There was no ice in the ice cream. Ice and salt were put around the metal container holding the custard mix inside a wooden bucket. You then turned a crank constantly to churn and freeze the ice cream. It was a lot of work but so worth it on a summer evening.

      You don't put and eat entire beetles, you need to extract their colouring and then remove the actual bodies. That's how you get almost everything else you eat nowadays red too, as a matter of fact. This food coloring being 100% natural is actually better because it doesn't contain any toxic chemicals.

      @@jwenting So the black plague bacteria are. Or poisonous mushrooms, and hundreds of other things made by nature that could kill you in a nick of time. Or in a very slow and painful manner. Or in a very prolonged and silent one. Cochenille beetles are not one of them. The most unpleasant trait they possess is the chitin shells that are really unsavory and hard to chew, rendering them unfit for consumption. Like pretty much all beetles and other insects covered in chitin (still not a turn off enough for some nations, but yeah). One doesn't have to be a scientist to find out, they just need to know how to use google. Also, there is a good reason why the aforementioned things aren't allowed to be flavouring and/or coloring food while cochenilles are. Unless you don't believe in governments actually not wanting to kill off their voters and taxpayers on the spot, but then no scientific evidence might convince you otherwise.

      I grew up in South Georgia back in the 40’s and 50’s. I actually remember there were still a few big ice houses around. They were big, dark, mysterious looking warehouses. I recall seeing some big pieces of burlap; I think they wrapped the ice in that to keep it clean and maybe to slide very heavy pieces. I suppose because ice machines were still uncommon and while people at home could use these awful metal ice trays with hand cranks for beverages, businesses had to purchase all their ice still, as did anyone wanting to make ice cream or holding a big party. No idea where the huge chunks originated but I am thinking they would have been transported in special train boxcars. The warehouses were always near rail lines.

    I understand this is about Queen Victoria, but I was hoping for a glimpse of Bess of Hardwick's portrait. She's the Elizabethan forebear of the Dukes of Cavendish, and built Chatsworth. She's a favorite of mine.

      I learned recently that gloves are going out of fashion, since you're actually in danger of doing more damage with a pair of gloves on, as opposed to using only your hands and being fully dextrous with no danger of material scraping the pages or damaging the paper.

      The lead in pewter isn't a problem unless you're using it for acidic substances. I assume they avoided those when making these, not only due to the lead, but to prevent the cream from curdling
