    Mrs Crocombe is making Roly Poly Pudding with bacon, onion and mushrooms. The servants are in for a treat!
    INGREDIENTS
    200g plain flour
    75g suet (vegetarian alternatives are available)
    A generous pinch of salt
    Cold water
    Bacon or ham
    1 small onion
    Mushrooms
    METHOD
    Combine the flour, suet, salt and add a small amount of water a little at a time until you form a dough which is supple but not sticky. Set aside in a cool place.
    Dice finely the bacon, onion and mushrooms and mix them together.
    Roll pastry out with lots of flour. Spread with filling leaving about 1cm at the edges. Seal the pastry at the ends well, and at the long join, with a bit of water
    Wrap the pudding in a clean cloth which has been well floured.
    Put it in a pan with boiling water and leave it for upwards of 1.5 hours. It is fairly forgiving, and can be left for an extra half an hour or hour without much of an issue.
    Leave the pudding to cool, then carefully unwrap it. You can then slice it and eat as is, or fry in lard for extra flavour.

      Well at least that is more acceptable than that traditional dish which has been given the name of Spotted Dick.
      Interesting isn't it that Britishers did not bother much about the implications of this word but an American friend of mine pointed it out giggling uncontrollably.
      I had to tell him mayhap a trifle haughtily to Grow up which set off another round of hysteria in him, that he belongs to a Juvenile immature nation which is obsessed with inflated and protuberant body parts and other body functions and that is why any sort of innocent word would for him and his equally mentally arrested friend circle would always have double entendre connotations more often obscene than not.
      Like any other spoilt brat he got deeply offended- visible sign Donald Duck beak- and is not speaking to me That doesn't bother me much. The only problem is that I cannot eat Spotted Dick anymore.

      Apparently the reason for that is with wood & coal fired stoves you could never be sure of consistant oven temperature, but if you boiled it, you could, which is why they boiled everything back then, to make sure it was cooked through. Check out the historical cooking show Lords and Ladles, they go into this at length.

      Food for Upstairs seems to focus on presentation, delicate flavours, and expensive ingredients - it's for people who have hours to spend eating dinner, want to flaunt their wealth, and don't have to do hard physical work on their feet all day.
      Food for the Servants' Hall seems to be primarily filling, flavoursome, and usually suited to being eaten quite quickly (I think they'd have to get back to work fairly promptly, and might be called away if Upstairs wanted them for something).

      If we're being historically correct, remember the servants worked very hard labor jobs.

If this were made in modern day, you'd be totally correct.

      @@gracefuller9554 Very true. The whole point of the "pudding " process is to make it, wrap it up, and set it to boil on the back of a range for an hour or two. Sort of a "set it, and forget it" form of cooking that allows you to make something good, while freeing you up to do other things in the kitchen without worrying about ruining the dish. Baking, especially back then, is a trickier process, and you could easily burn something if you don't keep an eye on it.

You can fill them with just about anything but our family favourites were either sausage meat, sage and onion or Sunday roast left overs (including left over roast and green veggies and topped with any gravy left over from Sunday roast) for savoury and jam Roly Poly with warm custard or sweet white sauce for a dessert one.
    I've been diagnosed coeliac so I'll be trying it with gluten free flour so I'm not sure how it will turn out, but here's hoping. I may try adding an egg to the pastry (my nan sometimes did that anyway for "extra goodness") to help bind it and see how that goes.

      If you can afford bacon and cheese, you’re a few levels above broke. Yay!

    I've not seen a savoury roly poly before even though I'm British. Have to say I think I prefer the sweet variety with jam topped with custard, but I might give this a try one day.

    • @kshaw2307
      @kshaw2307 6 років тому +7

      I am also British and me neither, but looks like it could be a good meal when money's tight. Shows how traditions change. Think I would fry the filling a little before putting it in the pastry.

    • @arrowleaf
      @arrowleaf 6 років тому +7

      Yeah, I would probably do the same with frying. As it was a meal for servants (in this video at least, and I assume that was based on this being a dish for poorer people) I reckon they probably wanted something filling, and probably rich tasting, which I think this would be and probably something that could be thrown together while cooking the Lords/Lady's meal. I do love this channel for making these videos, I've been going through Mrs. Beeton's book and reading the recipes in there is interesting but seeing them come to life is great.

      Hey im Australian but my grandmother is Scottish and she use to make savory rolly polly all the time when I was a kid. Maybe it is more of a older generation food
