This reminds me of the cabinet pudding my grandma used to make: she used old bread, raisins and the egg milk mix. Then the pudding was filled in a special pudding mold (which I still have today) and steamed in hot water. The pudding was popped out and served with a zabaion made of white wine and egg whites. For children the zabaion was replaced by vanilla custard. Yummy...

Yeah, it almost sounds a bit stereotypical, but in a very uplifting way given this show was meant to appeal to all ages. They do almost sound like cartoon characters, but that's what makes the show so charming and makes us really genuinely curious about Victoria. It reminds me a lot of when I was a child and story readers and plays would be done in goofy exaggerated voices to keep us captivated. The style may have gone out of favor sadly as we enter the "stoic era" but that's kind of why it feels so nostalgic.

There may have been a lot of alcohol put into that sauce, but by the time it was done cooking, it would have all evaporated off. The actual sauce, as served, would have had only a tiny trace of alcohol left. So while it would have tasted of the booze, it wouldn't have had any of the kick.

So interesting to hear how the Royals went visiting at other castles. Much different than Royals today.

[@MarioMastar]

Yeah, though even I'd imagine back then, you had a reason to show off all this land and wealth when hosting but today, doing that would just make the hosts look pretentious. Like I feel the last thing I'd want when visiting a particular person is a bunch of brownnosers who had thier hand in wall street acting like they deserve some of my time too cause they have an entire bank vault dedicated to them. Like imagine inviting Prince Harry to hang out and then Elon Musk shows up and absolutely destroys the mood.....

[@mkivy]

Finally, allowing us simple Bourgeois ppl a glimpse into royalty ...but the understanding that they still had archaic needs, eating, illness, wants and desires,appetites, favors, and cheating spouses...but really that stripped down of their crown and jewels 💎, they were humans first! They were born, they lived, and they died. Death is the gr8 equalizer. It comes to us all!

[@MarioMastar]

As a matter of fact, a LOT of us today live FAR better than even the royals of Victoria's time. things like central heating and decent meals were considered luxury then, but are pantry staples and expected in even the cheapest of homes today. I like to imagine what it'd be like if a Royal from the past (or any major figure) was alive today and saw first hand how much things have changed, and maybe even if they'd have changed thier minds on some things. But we do have Harry, the closest in line to being King (6th behind Charles and William, and Will's children, both of which had priority over Harry) literally "quitting" being a Royal so he can live in peace with his wife and kids in the US. So if anything, the royal joined US!

Unless it’s regular ol’ Jello, I can’t deal with food that jiggles. Makes my stomach flip over. Blame my aunt. My uncle was an engineer, so we had to have every new gadget/technology which came on the market ASAP. We had one of the first commercial microwaves back in the 1970s - huge, scary thing. We lived on the coast of Lake Michigan, thus had a lot of Chinook Salmon & Lake Trout in the freezer at all times. They’re big, fatty fish, sometimes up to 50-60 lbs. When we got the microwave, the first thing my aunt did was put a fresh filet on a paper plate & nuke it. Do you know what happens to a thick chunk of fatty fish when that happens? It becomes a hot, JIGGLY mound of steaming, stinky fish. That was decades ago, and I’m getting nauseous just thinking about it. 🤢
