I was thinking the same thing. I need to leave some radishes to grow and make some pods. Also, did I miss something about what the bowl seem to be lined with?
That salad is so exquisitely beautiful. What a work of art! And I’ll bet it tasted luscious! The tarragon and hint of chili would have made for some exciting flavor notes.
I have to try letting some radish go to seed, those pods are interesting. It's always a little sad to see the beautifully prepared food, since Victoria was notorious for gobbling her food which rushed all the guests
For the lazy and cheap replace the dressing with mayo and buffalo wing sauce, and for the meat replace the grouse with McNuggets, and for the leaves replace the herbs with a bag of salad mix. And for that wine on the table replace it with box wine and Coke. Shit will slap just as hard promise you bruh.
9:54 the castle was finished in 1811..?! 39 years before Victoria's visit?! And it took 100 years to build? my god even before the victorian era. Can you imagine people living in that time couldn't imagine things of this beauty, light, and cleanness existed?
they certainly could imagine it, because they managed to build it, and they had a good amount of ancient greek and roman art and architecture to draw upon for inspiration :)
Although another fascinating video im amazed they didnt cut Simon Howard from this as he is currently awaiting his trial having being charged with two counts of child sex offences.
No wonder they needed armies of servants to maintain it all - and had to hire in more for special occasions like Vic and Al's visit. Even these days it is incredibly expensive- which is why they hire it out regularly as a set for films and TV shows like Downton Abbey to make money.
@@lilymarinovic1644 An English House of a similar size (Chatsworth), cost £16.1 million [$22.6 million] in 2018 to run for the “year”. They are *extremely* expensive to run.
Can you imagine the heating bill in the winter today? That said, can you imagine keeping it warm by fireplace in the 1800's? The sheer amount of firewood needed would be staggering.
@@misterslats This is from another of my comments, but to give you an idea just how expensive a building like Castle Howard would be to maintain: an English House of a similar size (Chatsworth), cost £16.1 million [$22.6 million] in 2018 to run for the “year”.
The male presenter with the glasses perched on the end of his nose couldn't be any more stereotypical Brit .... is it twit or twat the correct word? I like him. He's like a cartoon...so cute and made me laugh. Great information too.
You’re the only one who cares that anyone is wearing a wig. As for the salad, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. Even people with immature tastebuds lol.
I might have for the first time gotten sth valuable from this series, and it's the realization that phrenology was most likely invented for the rich and influential (and not very well versed in critical thinking, - you know, just like modern people who stuff the pockets of homeotherapeuts or Gwyneth Paltrow) customers who needed to ease their mind from the slightest shade of suspicion that their children growing up to become useless and antisocial individuals might have been the result of neglect and abuse on the parent's side. Just blame it on the random features of skull shape and facial features - problem solved! No need to blame own parental incompetence and lack of interest in the child's needs of all sorts or the inhumane and toxic pedagogical guidelines of the era, and inspiring the need for the oh so exhausting improvement of parental and pedagogical style. Now Albert brought this tactics to perfection, not only he agreed to blame his son's misgivings on his cranium's structure, he also denied he got it from him. Welp, hypothetically assuming that phrenology was actually accurate, wouldn't it be appropriate to examine Albert's and Victoria's skulls and verify which of them bare the same features as those allegedly causing negative character's traits?
Castle Howard has between 145-150 rooms altogether, so I would definitely say they have more than 32 bedrooms. Although we must also remember that their guest bedrooms are 1. of a very large size (yet will house a maximum of two guests per room), and 2. most come with adjoining sitting and/ or dressing rooms (which are again very large in themselves). That all adds up.
I cant imagine this was in the victorian era.... I've just seen a victorian doc with poor people.. The dirt and the poverty.. Everything was dirty. Even the water. This look like something fr the future with 1000 years compared. How did everything become so clean even for the poor people to be able to have a clean tidy house nowadays
9:11 - ... as every medical doctor or a person with basic common sense and elementary practical knowledge would do, since you're dealing with RAW EGGS, love. Unless you want to give your guests poisoning and a terrible case of stomach ache and diarrhoea from raw eggs sitting in the room temperature for several hours, of course.
I really like history. And when I click on history vids, I do expect the details. But when I click on a video for an historical recipe, I'd like to see the recipe without all the rest. No offense. I'm sure there are people who love the meandering through the recipe. I guess I've just been spoiled by Tasting History with Max Miller. You get the history, but it's mostly history about the RECIPE itself, and doesn't take quite so long when you're interested in learning how to make something.
Then you do not understand what this programme is about (do not be fooled by the title - that’s only what “Absolute History” has chosen to name the upload). “Royal Upstairs Downstairs” is not “only” centred around the recipe, but the *beautiful* historic property (and its priceless contents) that hosted Queen Victoria/ her banquet, the logistics of hosting a Queen and of course Queen Victoria herself. I personally do not watch these videos for the recipe, so I guess everyone’s different.
@@tamaracarter1836 I see where you're coming from, however...if it says "HOW TO...." I want the how to...I don't want an hour of extraneous exposition that has nothing to do with the HOW TO. And yes, I understand what this program is about. I watch it often. I've just never watched a recipe one. I probably won't watch a future recipe one (though I will continue to watch the straight history), now that I know how they go. I'll just request it on Tasting History and hope he does it.
Wish they had MORE episodes ! Tim & Rosemary are fabulous !
I wanna thank whoever is responsible for this Channel because it increases the interest in Victorian England
LOVE Rosemary's laugh!!!!!
I'm fascinated by the idea of radish pods! That salad looks so luscious.

@@eksophia I'm also wondering this. I missed it, I think.
@@eksophia Google "rat-tail radish", it's a variety grown solely for the pods.
@@eksophia gerkins and anchovies, eggs and radishes. Is that what you meant?
@@eksophia I found it. It's butter.
I love this series. Wish they made more.
*Salad:* Is wholesome and healthy. You have all this greenery and delicious vege with it.
*Also salad:* Covered in cream.
AND loads of oily dressing ... at least it is olive oil I suppose.
I like loads of Blue Cheese on my salad, vinegar & oil is a bit boring
it's a salad in that it has veggies in it, but mostly it's meat and dressing. i'd expect nothing else from victorian cooking, honestly
I look forward to these.
Me too!
@@eksophia me three!
I am going to try making this salad one day it sounds delicious

That must be so cool to know so much about your ancestors and walk where they use to live.
I love their chemistry! So cheeky with eachother. Bro called her an Egg. Lmao what?
A "good egg," like in Willy Wonk's chocolate factory.

It actually took more than 100 years because construction started in 1699.
@@tamaracarter1836 explains the renaissance style architecture
@@RoorAlbin Yes, but I believe Castle Howard is English Baroque.

That salad looks like an ancestor of "smörgåstårta" just add layers of bread somewhere.
Is it just me or does it look like the fireplace has a Chanel symbol on 🤣🤣🤣
The reversed “CC” symbol stands for “Comitis Carlioli”, and means the “Earl of Carlisle”. You’ll fine this monogram throughout the house and gardens.
❤️ the videos thank you 🥂🍾
I can't even imagine owning a castle like that!

What is the "filling" that is spread on the inside of the bowl? They discussed everything ingredient but that.
I think it’s butter. To keep everything in place…
Possible butter indeed 🧈
Maybe you would have bread with the salad and bam, there's your butter
@@christopherklein8434 that’s brilliant idea indeed 🧈
I agree. This channel and topics are so enjoyable and informative. Also, while I love the hosts I really also love Ivan!😊
I came to check on the salad, now i speak in cursive.
Of course the visit costs were kept under control…. We are talking Yorkshire here!
I'd like to go somewhere and take a vacation but nothing with such boring but beautiful grounds as castle Howard.
What a beautiful place!! How in the world did they heat it? Need 3 or 4 fireplaces in each room
They wore many layers of clothing, so one fire place per room would have been enough.
Some of those egg garnishes look overcooked with that blue ring.
Who takes care of these castles... And does anyone live there? In docs you always see them deserted but it takes an army of people to keep them tidy
Yes the same family that built it still live there. They are also the ones who take care of it (as it’s privately owned).
Can you imagine the heating bill in the winter today? That said, can you imagine keeping it warm by fireplace in the 1800's? The sheer amount of firewood needed would be staggering.

How can a place that massive only accommodate 32 people? Surely not Maybe 32 guests?
They don’t include various servants as “guests.”
