@@deecomposed Wow! It's rare to actually learn something on YT. Thanks! Wikipedia: _"Trypophobia is an aversion to the sight of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes or bumps. It is not officially recognized as a mental disorder, but may be diagnosed as a specific phobia if excessive fear and distress occur. People may express only disgust to trypophobic imagery."_
Strong seasoning fell out of favor in Northern Europe because it was said to mask the flavor of spoilage, so someone using chilies was suspected of trying to serve less fresh food than the same dish with tarragon.
@Stella H sodium chloride was a common preservative, in which humans were in symbiosis until they discovered it does more harm than good. But for a dish like this the stuffed goose livers would have been salted if for no other reason than antibacterial. Whether the foie gras was later cooked with a potato to make sure it was sterile is another question which I think quite likely: boiling became a traditional safety measure for hygiene. So a skilled cook would have been able to season any number of potatoes to absorb the NaCl table salt used to preserve the expensive filling. But, who knows, maybe they were stuffing geese on the premises back then, anything is possible.
I swear at some point the english must have plated actual horseshit, dressed it with a jelly made from fish heads and garden dirt, everything ice cold naturally. And they were all trying to out gasp each other in fake amazement.

The clues in the title Victorian work houses!!!! My family were "residents" not sure where you get your info, but it certainly wasn't from History books!!!
I put 30 fkn pounds on this year and here i am still watching food videos. Went from a amazing physique to homer simpson. Well back to my bud lights and nachos.
I read about the young Victoria's exhausting travel schedule as her mother trundled her around the country to show her off to the people as their future queen. The travel in carriages wasn't comfortable either. She came to hate it all and was always exhausted. She just wanted to go home and rest. I hate staying at other people's houses, or even visiting them.......you can't sleep in and you have to get dressed and act like a civilized human being.......
The bonus of it all is she got free food, free accommodation. She probably partied alot at these different estates anyway. So it probably wasnt all bad. I would say the down side to it all is when she had to share a bedroom with her mother the Duchess of Kent, who was incredibly protective of her for years.
@@jamescarlton6016 Once a week visiting all these places might be manageable, but traveling long distances to a different one every day is too much. Then she had to face a huge reception and speeches and a tour of the house and then a formal dinner while so tired she could hardly stay awake. I would hate that.
@@jamescarlton6016 The older princess/queen was a partier. She stayed up late and danced. Albert, however, did not not like the late hours and wanted to go to bed much earlier.
It's gorgeous, but why didn't the men that quarried it keep track of the movement of the stone. It doesn't look like they even tried to match up the patterns on the wall. It can be done and has been done quite masterfully in other palatial homes.

people in the comments saying "haha quarentine made me watch this boring video about eggs and speed forward haha" and im?????? so sad??????? this is so interesting! the little children that got victoria to breakfast???? lovely, when he bowed to the servants? hilarious, how can this be boring? am i really just a history nerd---?
they all know what they’re here for and you don’t have to make a deal of it, there’s nothing wrong in thinking something is eye catching and then expecting that thing
Do you think there was ever a Victorian that took one look at a typical over done bedroom and said that they wanted clean lines and minimalistic look? And were they then shot?😁
Well there have been peasants who were given fancy, scarcely used rooms at inns due to the shortage of cheap rooms, who felt so uncomfortable about being on the decorated bed that they slept on the floor instead.
They would get shot because the upper class would think them weirdos for not loving the very crowded rooms and decor that the upper class had and the lower classes would wish to imitate. Someone going against the norm by having a very minimalist interior would not make any sense to them and they would probably be considered asylum material.
Back then it was less about what individual people wanted and more about what the fashion signified. In the Victorian period, the industrial revolution made it so that regular people could afford to buy items to decorate their house, whereas before they would have had very little, thus causing them to want to show off as many of their possessions as possible.
I love this. Very well done. I've hunted down several locales that Victoria visited, lived in, loved etc but you just don't get to see the kinds of things that are in this video.
I’m 3 minutes in and I must say so far I’m very pleased with this documentary and the two host, they sound so enthusiastic talking about the history which brings more interest to me!
While these documentary makers fawn over the opulence and grandeur of this castle and its contents lets all take a moment to reflect that it was paid for with the blood and sweat of the common people. That's you and I, folks.
party pooper, you gonna go onto modern megamansion house tours and be a downer on how the ever-growing wealth gap permits the top 0.something1 percent to live in opulence and lobby the law in a system that repeatedly shits on the poor with zero social mobility, when people just wanna go 'ooooh big house is big' ?
I just finished reading Lady in Waiting. The author (Anne Glenconner) grew up in Holkham Hall. I had NO idea it was this awesome. (the book is much more interesting than I thought it was going to be--the author was a friend of Princess Margaret and was a Lady in Waiting to her)
Love this show. I think I have watched almost all of them now. So fun to see where Victoria traveled and what she ate. Some of the food looks less than appetizing but it's still interesting to see.
in 2020 rich people would serve a 5000$ burger. Nothing new under the sun, all these extravagancies show us the people cannot find true happiness in wealth or rank alone
I Love You “removing their ability to socially interact at a higher level” intelligence wise? Or how long they interact with others? It sounds really condescending lmao
@I Love You Food is social interaction. I had to be on IV nutrition and have nothing by mouth for more than a year. And not being able to eat or drink makes social intercourse difficult since it almost always in my culture involves eating.
Every village had their pigs, geese and chickens. Turnips, carrots, spuds, onions, cabbages. We have sage, chives and mint growing wild. Peasants were eating quite well.
*Ballettes of Foie Gras à l'Impériale* is certainly not classed as “British” food - this style of cooking follows the French technique and similar things would have been created throughout European high society at the time. This way of eating has long since gone out of fashion which is why something of this nature looks strange to us today; it was basically a “palette cleanser” that helped refresh the senses during grand banquets that often extended to well over 20 courses! Plus Victoria was not yet Queen when the Earl hosted the dinner in 1835, but a Princess. We also did not have “peasants” in England at the time, but those belonging to the lower class. These people would have had access to what we would class today as top quality produce: the freshest vegetables/ fruit/ eggs that were produced locally, meat from animals that were raised “traditionally”, “proper” bread akin to those sold today in artisanal bakeries, “handcrafted” dairy products of the highest quality - everything was produced locally and with much care and attention. I feel sorry for people who have never experienced this way of life; living in a small medieval village in the west of England I class myself as very lucky to have easy access to such produce, and therefore am well aware that British food can be absolutely fantastic.
Adore this series! How many eggs would have been created? Imagining dozens!! And more information about the Princesses performance please. Would she have sung as a soloist for all who had gathered? Remarkable stories!!
@Dr. M. H. I don't know what kind of shit hole you worked in, but my family has owned a restaurant almost my whole life. I can assure you that is NOT normal for a restaurant. Not to mention the majority of most professional kitchens have someone that oversees the it being cleaned on a nightly basis. There is such a thing as random health inspections and they actually happen quite often. Why would you say something like this would be applicable to every restaurant?
@onespiceybbw....Yes! And....I can't stand it when they put their noses so close to the food/ingredient to smell it...and then they proceed to add it to the pot....THAT TO ME IS GROSS!!
Great programme. The possibilities for cross contamination between all those moulds, punching devices, food prep stages, and the handling of the hundreds of components that make up this bizzarre dish, are endless. I wonder how many people this speciality made ill or killed!
I didn’t expect to watch all of this but it made me realize how much food has an influence on culture and lifestyle of a time period. Not only that, but how the aristocracy establishes trends that can last up to 50, 60 years. Really interesting!
People say that no one remembers the awkward shit you do but 200 years later we're still talking about how the host bowed to Victoria's servants.

The clues in the title Victorian work houses!!!! My family were "residents" not sure where you get your info, but it certainly wasn't from History books!!!
@Dr. M. H. @cat That was just great I loved your back and forth lol very entertaining in a sad yet defiant way. :)
Looking at that food like...
Them: "Stunning, beautiful, a vision."
Me: ...wtf that looks so weird, I hate it.
Indeed!!!! give nightmares.😣😣😣
Hello, can someone make me to understand what's going on here?
I know right? It's looks like alien food.
THANKS, I HATE IT 😂
Brits
I put 30 fkn pounds on this year and here i am still watching food videos. Went from a amazing physique to homer simpson. Well back to my bud lights and nachos.
I read about the young Victoria's exhausting travel schedule as her mother trundled her around the country to show her off to the people as their future queen. The travel in carriages wasn't comfortable either. She came to hate it all and was always exhausted. She just wanted to go home and rest. I hate staying at other people's houses, or even visiting them.......you can't sleep in and you have to get dressed and act like a civilized human being.......
The bonus of it all is she got free food, free accommodation. She probably partied alot at these different estates anyway. So it probably wasnt all bad. I would say the down side to it all is when she had to share a bedroom with her mother the Duchess of Kent, who was incredibly protective of her for years.
@@jamescarlton6016 Once a week visiting all these places might be manageable, but traveling long distances to a different one every day is too much. Then she had to face a huge reception and speeches and a tour of the house and then a formal dinner while so tired she could hardly stay awake. I would hate that.
@@jamescarlton6016 Partying while her over controlling mother was beside her? Ok.
@Barbara Mulvaney -- No horsing around with that handsome groom from the stables.
@@jamescarlton6016 The older princess/queen was a partier. She stayed up late and danced. Albert, however, did not not like the late hours and wanted to go to bed much earlier.
I thought that was spaghetti o's in clear jello.
Lol
Me too 🤢

What a fabulous program! I've just discovered it.
I find the alabaster more beautiful than marble
It's gorgeous, but why didn't the men that quarried it keep track of the movement of the stone. It doesn't look like they even tried to match up the patterns on the wall. It can be done and has been done quite masterfully in other palatial homes.
Alabaster. His wife's pretty disagreeable, too.
@Barbara Mulvaney alabaster, like marble, comes in a lot of colours.
“Tis’ fairly pretty”
The most English sounding sentence I’ve ever heard
tiss faerlie puh-ritteh
When part of your home's entry took 20 years to construct you know you're flexing.
I could see Emmy from Emmymadeinjapan make the duck aspic egg dish 😂
If you suggest it, you know she gonna be makin it!
Ohhh, yes. Some need to get her on this. I want an honest opinion of the taste.
Yesssss!
@emmymadeinjapan please make these!!!!
💯
Looks like Cheerios cereal to me...
Good eye, looks gross to me like brains, science project, not something I would want to eat even though I love pate', it just looks off putting.
get in - I wouldn’t want it, though I used to love a good paté. I was really happy to find that lentil paté tastes very much like a more clean tasting paté, even more delicious than the paté I used to love in my younger days. I don’t miss liver or any other type of meat! ☺️
@@lottatroublemaker6130 yay, a vegan
Sean - Plant Based, actually... 💚🌱🧑🎤🍀✅
@@lottatroublemaker6130 which means you're a vegan...
Look at that Kitchen! Even the Ritz-Carlton would be jealous 😲
The menu isn't exactly to my liking, but I can appreciate al the effort that went into preparing it.
For sure!
I'd hand them a box of cereal and a carton of milk and proclaim....'here's your breakfast.'
It very much appeals to me!
Me too. I don't believe I'd enjoy the food but it's so detailed
@Vee Kee the Royal boot!
I'm watching this going, "Who came up with the idea for that food? And why?"
I'm pretty much obsessed with the chef-dude's accent, dripping with attitude 🤣
Yeah he didn’t plant any trees he said I want trees and his “servants” planted trees
It’s insane the lengths people who hosted the royals had to go to. For a 2-day visit? Lordy!
I would assume a nice meal and good clean accomadations for Royal visit.. but they go beyond for them in UK. Glad I am American.
@Dr. M. H. There was an almost religious belief that royalty could heal you and bring you luck and such. Hence the kissing babies thing.
@Dr. M. H. It's no different then the way fans act around celebrities nowadays. Most of them could care less about the majority of their fans and yet they still scream and defend them like mad.
@@YingofDarkness Agree. I can't understand why people think fawning over celebrities and gods as normal and acceptable but doing the same towards royalties, nobility, and the like are considered old fashioned and idiotic.
11:07 "... and then coloured with tiny bits of caution eel." What?
So, you can't use reckless eel, could you?
nice.
@@amandal5545 oh, now it makes much more sense! It bothered me all these weeks, thank you for clarification!
Cochineal, I assume. It's a red food dye made from, well, ground up red bugs. It was the red food coloring of the day though.
@@badmartialarts yes. Someone named @Amanda had written it above, but that comment is deleted.
I find the chef Guy has a very charming way of speaking, voice and accent.
I've seen him on several shows, he's so great💞
no not at all!????????? lol
He is amazing and I would fight in his honor
Coming from a American from Philly specifically, i have to agree 😂😂
I am an historian just as my father was. It always amazes me how historians speak as though they are the people they are speaking of!
I love Tim and Rosemary! They couldn't pick a better pair for the show. I'm binge watching them this weekend! HistoryFlix!
No idea why I read that as 'The Very Elaborate Way Queen Victoria LAID Her Eggs.'
I want to see the sequel "Queens Eggs Hatch on Time" 🤣
Me, too the second!
Ikr
Wow so those rumors might be true
I laughed so much at your comment, probably a little too much 🤣
Beautiful show. Thank you for getting as close to this magnificent and beautiful world as we will ever get. Well done!
"The very elaborate way that servants eventually tried poisoning the queen"
I was astonished to see how the round balls of fois gras were made. All that work gone in a second. Amazing.
Kind of like making egg rolls, you have to chop every item in tiny pieces, seal it up in wonton, etc...and takes a short time to consume one. I would never make these egg balls, they look too gross to eat.
get in And foie gras should be forbidden by law everywhere, it is disgusting to torture geese to make the. sick with fatty liver to consume it... 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Shame on everyone who choose to eat that dish! 😡
get in Good to hear they at least didn’t use actual foie gras in this video!
@@lottatroublemaker6130 That will never happen. Too many $$$$ involved. Foie gras is sold on the black market in countries that have forbidden it. People pay $$$$$ to have it delivered to their door. The rich and famous love their foie gras. I've seen it. You get foie gras dealers like you get drug dealers.
When I die nobody let a middle age man delve into my personal diaries 😂😂
people in the comments saying "haha quarentine made me watch this boring video about eggs and speed forward haha" and im?????? so sad??????? this is so interesting! the little children that got victoria to breakfast???? lovely, when he bowed to the servants? hilarious, how can this be boring?
am i really just a history nerd---?
They came for the eggs, they will watch for the eggs
Honey, its okay. I love history too.
I loved this video!
they all know what they’re here for and you don’t have to make a deal of it, there’s nothing wrong in thinking something is eye catching and then expecting that thing
3am recommended videos: the way a queen has her eggs
Me: 🤷🏽♀️
Me after: 🙂 gunna watch more tbh
Do you think there was ever a Victorian that took one look at a typical over done bedroom and said that they wanted clean lines and minimalistic look? And were they then shot?😁
Well there have been peasants who were given fancy, scarcely used rooms at inns due to the shortage of cheap rooms, who felt so uncomfortable about being on the decorated bed that they slept on the floor instead.
Why would they get shot 💀
Lzy G Ouch
They would get shot because the upper class would think them weirdos for not loving the very crowded rooms and decor that the upper class had and the lower classes would wish to imitate. Someone going against the norm by having a very minimalist interior would not make any sense to them and they would probably be considered asylum material.
Back then it was less about what individual people wanted and more about what the fashion signified. In the Victorian period, the industrial revolution made it so that regular people could afford to buy items to decorate their house, whereas before they would have had very little, thus causing them to want to show off as many of their possessions as possible.
I love this. Very well done. I've hunted down several locales that Victoria visited, lived in, loved etc but you just don't get to see the kinds of things that are in this video.
I’m 3 minutes in and I must say so far I’m very pleased with this documentary and the two host, they sound so enthusiastic talking about the history which brings more interest to me!
Nothing about that dish made me go "ooo stunning" I'd probably throw up 😂😂
While these documentary makers fawn over the opulence and grandeur of this castle and its contents lets all take a moment to reflect that it was paid for with the blood and sweat of the common people. That's you and I, folks.
Nono Yobiz - Well said👍!
Does that really bother you? It's been so long ago, I feel no emotional connection to the people who built it.
party pooper, you gonna go onto modern megamansion house tours and be a downer on how the ever-growing wealth gap permits the top 0.something1 percent to live in opulence and lobby the law in a system that repeatedly shits on the poor with zero social mobility, when people just wanna go 'ooooh big house is big' ?
Who are you calling common, Peasant?!?! Lol
It's cute how you think things are any different these days XD
I thought this was gonna talk about how the queen laid her eggs
That's the same recipe my wife makes for me on weekends. I had no idea it took so long to prepare.
It would behoove you pay more attention. A womans labor of love is incredibly valuable and should be rightly appreciated 💗
I just finished reading Lady in Waiting. The author (Anne Glenconner) grew up in Holkham Hall. I had NO idea it was this awesome. (the book is much more interesting than I thought it was going to be--the author was a friend of Princess Margaret and was a Lady in Waiting to her)
Simply fascinating!
Great upload. Cheers.
Wait so a baby just showed up in the house and they tried to play it off like no one knew who it was? Wow scandal. Reality tv could never
What year was this filmed? The video quality is giving me nostalgia. Was this from the early 2000's or late 90's?
I would say early 2000s. I get what your saying though!
End credits (28:44) show MMX that is 2010 I believe.
R M - You are correct.
No the quality is too good
Wow your a hard one to please...jeez lol
Them: Oh it's beautiful!
Me: *s p a g h e t t i o j e l l o*
Imagine how thin and healthy those servants during that era 😂 this place is so huge and big. Gym wasn’t needed back then 🤣
Thank you from the Southern California quarantine!
Love this show. I think I have watched almost all of them now. So fun to see where Victoria traveled and what she ate. Some of the food looks less than appetizing but it's still interesting to see.
in 2020 rich people would serve a 5000$ burger. Nothing new under the sun, all these extravagancies show us the people cannot find true happiness in wealth or rank alone
Time for a revolution.
Diane Greene so everyone ends up poor?!
@@spencerwilton5831 Let's just call it income balancing.
I Love You “removing their ability to socially interact at a higher level” intelligence wise? Or how long they interact with others? It sounds really condescending lmao
@I Love You Food is social interaction. I had to be on IV nutrition and have nothing by mouth for more than a year. And not being able to eat or drink makes social intercourse difficult since it almost always in my culture involves eating.
The egg recipe starts at 9:50. Have a lovely day u beautiful people!
You can honestly tell by the dude's face he's enjoying himself too much on this commentary.
"You can see everything!" Looks through the most narrow window ever.
Hello, attention please
Is it just me or does that look absolutely disgusting
Right, no seasoning whatsoever
Its probably because I'm Slovenian but it looks delicious
You really can't expect much from British food... If this is what the queen eats, imagine what the peasants are eating...
This was over 120 years ago
Nothing with a side of potatoes.
Check out rate your plate.
Every village had their pigs, geese and chickens. Turnips, carrots, spuds, onions, cabbages. We have sage, chives and mint growing wild. Peasants were eating quite well.
*Ballettes of Foie Gras à l'Impériale* is certainly not classed as “British” food - this style of cooking follows the French technique and similar things would have been created throughout European high society at the time. This way of eating has long since gone out of fashion which is why something of this nature looks strange to us today; it was basically a “palette cleanser” that helped refresh the senses during grand banquets that often extended to well over 20 courses! Plus Victoria was not yet Queen when the Earl hosted the dinner in 1835, but a Princess.
We also did not have “peasants” in England at the time, but those belonging to the lower class. These people would have had access to what we would class today as top quality produce: the freshest vegetables/ fruit/ eggs that were produced locally, meat from animals that were raised “traditionally”, “proper” bread akin to those sold today in artisanal bakeries, “handcrafted” dairy products of the highest quality - everything was produced locally and with much care and attention. I feel sorry for people who have never experienced this way of life; living in a small medieval village in the west of England I class myself as very lucky to have easy access to such produce, and therefore am well aware that British food can be absolutely fantastic.
The combination of the liver and eggs and jelly dnt sound appetizing at all. Only the rich people think these things taste good
Adore this series! How many eggs would have been created? Imagining dozens!! And more information about the Princesses performance please. Would she have sung as a soloist for all who had gathered? Remarkable stories!!
And that woman's sleeves dragging across all the food.
Yea, she is a bit of a klutz I've noticed ..
Or her leaning on the cutting board while doing those little egg cut outs...
Lmfao I kept giggling thru the whole video after reading ur comment
@Dr. M. H. I don't know what kind of shit hole you worked in, but my family has owned a restaurant almost my whole life. I can assure you that is NOT normal for a restaurant. Not to mention the majority of most professional kitchens have someone that oversees the it being cleaned on a nightly basis. There is such a thing as random health inspections and they actually happen quite often. Why would you say something like this would be applicable to every restaurant?
@onespiceybbw....Yes! And....I can't stand it when they put their noses so close to the food/ingredient to smell it...and then they proceed to add it to the pot....THAT TO ME IS GROSS!!
Great programme. The possibilities for cross contamination between all those moulds, punching devices, food prep stages, and the handling of the hundreds of components that make up this bizzarre dish, are endless. I wonder how many people this speciality made ill or killed!
But then again they would have barely tasted it as there were so many other courses.
I didn’t expect to watch all of this but it made me realize how much food has an influence on culture and lifestyle of a time period. Not only that, but how the aristocracy establishes trends that can last up to 50, 60 years. Really interesting!
Alabaster is fancier than marble, really.
Alabaster in Biblical days was considered very valuable/priceless.
Alabaster is cheaper and softer than marble but this wall is beautiful.
How much do you have in your home?
So very cute! Time consuming but, worth the effort to make for special guest! I am considering making for my best friend's visit! 🙂
Let us know how it turned out!! :) have fun!!
That dish would probably make me feel like I was eating a Christmas ornament.
I love Ivan Day, his energy and enjoyment of making food is so influential!
Hello, how are you?
