"You really have big teaspoon."
I love that the host called out the chef for being way more generous in using the ingredients than she described.
Jan Leeming is queen. So elegant and outrageously posh.
Her 80s hairstyle is more luscious than my life
"so we're just going to put a little drop of uhm...(glug glug glug glug)...wine on that" 15:09
lol I was just about to comment that! She did it twice too!
if thats just a drop I'd love to see her other measurements.
“Just a drop of sherry”
*continues pouring for 20 minutes*
When ever I see these obscure festivals I have to remind my self they
aren't showing all the people getting smashed off camera.
Beautiful! There are many of us that celebrate "May Day" too💜
Guess the Queen isn't eating any of it.........garlic!!😂🍀
Merry Beltane!
The Host likes to eat fowl....
She doesn't want to prepare it though.....😂😂😂🍀
I think I'll have a go at baking that restoration pie ☺
Did they really have all those spices and fruits back then?
Why would they not? They grew in the same way they do today!
(And fish sauce?....)
Ships.......
@@spinozareader Garum.
Currants, chestnuts, English walnuts, cinnamon, sugar, salt, nutmeg, milk, butter, meat, for mince pies, and all the ingredients for plum pudding -
Plus teas, chocolate and coffee, all imported from Africa and India . . .
8:08 a 'little' drop
9:40 Appearance of the handsome man in the thumbnail.
Yes
Whatever the Jack-in-the-Green may look like, it has no 'pagan overtones' - its first appearance being in late 1700's London.
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and Twenty black birds
Backed in a pie....
Almonds in meatballs....
Me a italian who lives in rome: excuse me?.... O.e
Olive oil not lard?
....And the crawly bug makes it's appearance at 4:22. Ew. I guess he didn't like the garlic.
But it's September
Thai fish sauce? I thought they were making historically accurate dishes. This reminds me of the chef who made Pomme D’or with pork instead of apple. Pomme means apple.
Making 'disguised' foods *was* historically accurate, & very common- disguising minced meat as fruit was popular, & making marzipan/ sugar look like things like bacon, or flowers was another trend...
Thai fish sauce is the closest thing we have to roman Garum.
Yes, Garum is quite similar to fish sauce anyway, and making it from scratch is... not advisable.
Bogie man is from bogs. Leathery mummies were found from early times and they were the "bog men" hence "bogie man". So I thought. Green men are confused with that, I suppose. Or maybe I am confused! I do know that the idea of the Bogie Man thrives in America even yet.
Growing up I was never told of “the” boogie man, but rather usually heard it used as an idea. Some sort of scary trope.
This is mainly about cooking and very little history.
And I must have missed the pagan connection.
There is no pagan connection.
It seems as though the ancient Romans ate quite well. The wealthier ones anyway.
My Best. Out.
Professional? Nail Polish, rings.............um, no. Working chefs don't wear either, sorry. Disgusting. Dirt gets under long
nails and can't be seen. Dirt gets under rings too.
So they made a little bit of food. Did they actually feed all the Morris dancers?
Yeah, they should've been wearing gloves, especially a guest ...and gotten rid of the bug that crawled out right after she'd added the garlic.
Did they have fish sauce during the Roman times? Really?
Of sorts. It was called garum.
This is too Hwhite, waa waa waysis 👶 waa.
Annnnnnnd her sticks burned anyway, because putting water on sticks that thin does NOTHING. This lady doesn't know a damn thing about grilling lmao.
Women are not supposed to morris dance because traditionally morris dancing is a fertility rite to ensure good crops.
Morris dancing has absolutely nothing to do with 'fertility rites'.
@@Wotsitorlabart you know nothing about the history and tradition of morris dancing
@@tonytrott6318
The earliest references to Morris dancing are from the mid 1400's and it was a dance performed for entertainment at the Royal court (eg in Henry VIII's court) and the upper echelons of society. Later town guilds and parishes sponsored teams and by the 1600's it had spread into the smaller towns and villages with local teams dancing for money.
And there were women dancers - in the 19th century they were dancing at Spelsbury in Oxfordshire and Blackwell in Worcestershire plus at least three further instances in the South Midlands.
Talk of Morris dancing having pagan origins or being an ancient fertility rite is fanciful nonsense.
It relates to guise dancing,which is pagan,and it was only documented in the Royal courts,not invented;a similar dance was performed ‘the devils daunce’,and a similar dance going back to the 12th century the ‘Routs and Reyes’ dance!
@@Wotsitorlabart It is an English folk dance that has different origins & different types of morris dancers.. It was originally used to dance & celebrate the summer harvest to celebrate the warmth & fertility of summer & to bring autumns golden harvest . There are different types of Morris dancers all over the country !! It can go back many centuries .
