Victoria was partially right about the Christmas tree introduction. The British " royal" family was originally German.

[@vixendreamer]

It was introduced by her German grandmother, Queen Charlotte, after marrying George the 3rd and starting a family with him. Victoria would have grown up with this.

Garlic is such a beautiful thing to cook with. How sad he has to alter his recipe and the use of garlic

[@kaylizzie7890]

The queen doesn’t eat garlic during events because it causes bad breath and she doesn’t want to have bad breath when she’s talking to dignitaries.

[@MossyMozart]

@@kaylizzie7890 - She never heard of breath fresheners? I CANNOT imagine any cuisine without garlic. Even when the GI doc made me follow a FODMAP diet for a time, I made garlic oil (simmer garlic cloves in olive oil, then strain the solids out). The flavor infuses the oil but not the problematic carbohydrate, fructan, as it is not oil soluble. (You cannot put garlic into any water-based dish then pick it out as fructan is water soluble and stays behind.)

I love these shows .. if I could time travel I would go back to the Victorian and regancy eras in history. Some of my favorite eras in history.. the ladies dresses and the manor homes are just so beautiful and luxurious and still simplistic in a way that our generations are missing. Families looked after each other , long walks in beautiful gardens .communication via letters reading books instead of watching a tv set all day and last but not least learning how to play a musical instrument or learning how to sing so that you could impress your friends and families with your skills and talents.. also planting your crops and gardens in the spring and taking care of your crops and animal's all summer to reap your bounty in autumn while preparing your household for winter when you would have a winter break and bond even more with your family as you rode out the winters cold .. now days we are lucky to get a weeks vacation and hardly know time to bond with family or enjoy nature and the world around us .

[@hollydaugherty2620]

99% of what you described only occurred in the lives of the upper class. You are heavily over-romanticizing what life was actually like for people then. 😂 Not that they actually tended their own gardens! Or didn’t have family drama like we do today. You are describing a fantasy.

[@annaverano5843]

@@hollydaugherty2620 why do people like you have to always bring negativity to the comment section? I said if i could time travel back to those eras of time .you don't think i wouldn't prepare myself financially so I could live in comfort during my time travels ? I know the history of those times and being born poor back then was not a good time . Time traveling isn't even a real option anyways . Its called wishful thinking.. no need to go all out in vicious Karen attack mode because my comment triggered your inner Karen aggression mode .. good god you people like to create drama over every subject nor can you skip the comments that trigger you .. you just enjoy being miserable and you want to burst everyone else's happy bubble so you can feel some type of supremacy in KZbin comment sections.. lol

[@tamlynn786]

I agree with Holly’s comment, you are describing life for the rich upper class. The working class didn’t have gardens or learn to play instruments. Only the select few had it that good. I’ve always found it interesting how the upper class would have a servant help ‘dress’ them in formal wear only to then walk around in their lavish homes and gardens lol. Most of us now just thrown on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and call it a day.

QUERY 1 - For veggitarians, is there an acceptable substitute for the suet? (I realize that the taste cannot be reproduced, but want I am looking for a viable ingredient for texture and cooking.) ------------------------- QUERY 2 - WHY, oh WHY does the Christmas pudding need to steam for so very long?
