"Nowadays it's more fashionable not to add meat but we're very traditional here." "It's a good job Sarah let me borrow this large tub from the laundry." DAMN HAHAHAHAHAHAH, I CAN'T 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this series! It would be lovely if you expanded it to show us what life is like for the other members of the estate staff--the boot boy, the head groom, the governess, everyone.
Yes! That sounds dreadfully exciting, I'd love to know how the everyday life of lady's maids and the valet were! Servants in Victorian times are so interesting to know more about, how they did their everyday chores and how they lived.
I enjoyed the curry episode as a big fan of the classic adventure stories set in and the actual history of the British Raj and British South Africa, as well as the outpost cities in China and Tunisia among other places, to say nothing of Australia and New Zealand and their history. Maybe an "abroad" episode with a few Sikh actors for the sepoys or some Zulus and an early "fusion dish" like pav bhaji (curried tomato soup with rolls Bombay-style) or another Anglo-Indian or Anglo-African dish from that setting. Something that would make a history buff and food lover like myself and others proud. :)
Nicely put together. But I have that naughty thought that there should be a disgruntled wash woman in the back with a cockney accent absolutely raving about the amount she has to clean.
pimenel yes hahaha scullery maids...u know I'm really interested in the Victorian era...like how they use the toilet...(ahem...shooting their dung straight to a hole down the sewer) Tudors forr example....and how aristocratic people overworked their maids from dawn till dusk.
"Oi, that bloomin' gov' an the ol' tart oop-stairs wit the valet an groomin'. Leavin' me all down here to do all the bleedin' heavy shite of washin' der' own. Makin' a six-pence a month bread just, an all!!!" XD
I said this in another comment, but will again in hopes you see this. We are on deployment currently and I'm in Saudi Arabia inside medical tent with 15 other nurses and medics. You have brought all of us the most joy and happiness, whilst watching your videos. Please, make more?! We love watching her cooking! Thank you and Blessings to you!!!
Glad you enjoy our videos, Wendy! Thank you for your kind comments. Have you subscribed to our channel to get all the latest videos when they are released?
You should contact Peter Ginn,Ruth Goodman or Alex Langlands and perhaps do a few episodes with them.They have alot of backround being the hosts of various series like Victorian Farm,Edwardian Farm and Tudor Monastery Farm.Keep up the good work and thanks for the content!
Back in medieval times where the mince pie comes from, they didn't really have desserts. Even pastry was discarded as it was just used to house and cook the filling and was often just made of flour and water. Mixing sweet and savoury was really common and it has evolved and what the Victorian's made was an evolution of the original mince pie. Sweetness came courtesy of honey or dried fruits as sugar was not widely available back in medieval times. Along with spices such as saffron and ginger, dried fruits such as figs and dates were the preserve of the wealthy as they had to be imported into the country. Liberally using spices in your food was one way to show your peers just how much money you had. Mince pies have just slowly evolved to include no meat, but they still include suet which is beef or mutton fat. It's nothing to do with poor people mixing scraps, since the poor would not be able to afford fruits, spices, honey etc. Mince pies were definitely something reserved for the wealthy. There may of been variations of the mince pie made by the poorer folk, but they'd be very unlikely to have fruit in them save for maybe some old apples and definitely no spices.
Oh yes I've heard that since they didn't have resealable bags plastic bowls to store cooked meat and fruits they were put into pies. That's innovation! For the winter you could put the pies into a non insulated room as a freezer and just take one out and bake it, scoop out the meat
I have to admit...Ina Garten is my favorite cook and her show, has ALWAYS been my favorite...However, this series, has become my favorite passtime and because of Downton Abby, I have become captivated and fascinated, with English cooking, from that period of time. This show is such a treasure and the Host is so AMAZING. Thank you for posting this series.
5 years after the fact, I LOVE the format of this ep: how the ingredients are presented, how they're described as added, the videography itself. Nicely done!
This has to be the most epic Christmas intro in history - the music, her snipping the holly, the camera pull back as she walks back to the house. This is worthy of our Mrs. Crocombe. Thank you.
My mum's mum (she died before I was born), had trained as a cook in a large country house before she married my granddad. Mum said Nan always made her mincemeat (only for Christmas, of course) with meat. Nan was born in about 1884, in Suffolk. The legend is she worked for the Astor family, but I'm not sure that's true.
If you have access to ancestry.com you can check the census for 1900 and 1910. If she was living at the estate she would be listed as servant under JJ Astor's household.
I love the way she uses modern suet, all nice and neat, when I was young we had to go to our local market and buy beef suet for the Christmas pudding and mince pies and grated the suet by hand. But its so nice to see recipes from Victorian times and how they have changed over the years.
Bubbles yields more juice? I don't understand, the lemon will have the same amount of juice it contains regardless of boiling it or not lemons don't magically have more juice just because you boiled them. It's the same amount either way. Now if it's used to loosen up more juice that's trapped to get more out then.
3 years ago I stumbled across this channel and it sparked a huge interest in history and social sciences for me, today I applied to university for a history degree
I will never understand mince pie. I wonder who came up with it. "nom nom let's make fruit pie and maybe add some nuts and citrus... *sees meat on side table* ooh let's mush that in too!" love the video and it's interesting to watch but mince pies are more that questionable lol
Peasants like mixing up (and recycling) scrap food, I guess (see the original recipes for pastas and pizzas, they used to be made out of scrap) here in our country (and a particular recipe in our city) we have a peculiar meatloaf made of ground beef or pork, raisins, carrots, hard boiled quail eggs, and beaten up chicken eggs
We have a still well loved stew that is made using left overs called "Salcocho". The slaves and servants would take any food item left over from the master's last night's dinner and put it in the pot, that's why one stew can be different from another stew even if they have the same name.
The earliest pies were actually predominantly made with meat. It's the other way around than what you said. In actuality someone saw meat pies and decided to have a crack at it with fruit and see how they went. when we talk about 'pie' in Australia we are almost always talking about meat pies, anything else is referred to as 'Apple pie' or... huh... I can't think of another popular fruit pie in Australia, we just don't have them. Our pies have meat, and sometimes cheese, and it's a sin that you don't realise how amazing that is. I had a cheesy pie for lunch today, yum num
Although I should amend my other comment; our meat pies don't have lemon and candied shit and sugar in them, they're 100 percent savoury. Just beef mince and gravy, sometimes with bacon, sometimes with cheese.
Hello Grace, thank you for the lovely comment. Make sure you subscribe to our channel as we have another video coming out soon and it just happens to be one of the ones you have suggested...
traditionally mincemeat has meat in it but most don't use it any more like suet it is animal fat from the liver and kidney area it is not used here in the U.S. unless you know a butcher.
A lot of people are adding bacon to desserts here in America. I think most people would be confused, but there's definitely a vocal minority. The saltiness plays well with sweet flavors, but I don't go out of my way to eat it. Emmymadeinjapan (RUclipsr) made beef fudge and it looked really good. I haven't tried it myself.
I just adore these videos for so many reasons - the recipes, the "slow food" (which is missing today and I'm so happy to see this) and of course, Mrs. Crocombe is marvelous.
Mrs. Crocombe: it's always pleasing to use something for its specific purpose. Also Mrs. Crocombe: LET ME PUT SOME FOOD IN THIS LARGE TUB FROM THE LAUNDRY
Thanks for these videos. I'm planning on trying to make a traditional Victorian Christmas this year, and I live in Norway so it's not too easy to come by the information I need to make this happen. Your videos along with the Victorian Farm-series have helped me A LOT. So thank you so much, and please keep them coming? :) Also I agree with the comment about Victorian cleaning tips. That would be wonderful if you would look into it :) Cheerio!
PS! As a Norwegian, mince pies and the traditional Christmas pud are very strange things to me. The mixture of very sweet and very savoury is quite an aquired taste, but I grew to like it during an exchange program in England. I made the traditional pud for my friends last Christmas and they found it SO strange, but it was still a lot of fun, since I am a bit obsessed with Victorian times.
Lol, you made laugh my coffee out of my nose, I know that feeling very wel sadly. I did not expect your sort of comment along with this video. but it made my day somehow! have a nice 2018 a less single one!
This is one that I can honestly say I have never seen.... and I believed I had watched them all... I love new videos and catching ones I have never seen... 👍🏾💕
This is one of those dishes that we really have nothing like in America but I’m sure is legitimately delicious. I can’t imagine what mince meat with all the sweet fruit and liquor would taste like but I’d imagine I would really enjoy it. I kinda wanna try making them now
When she dumped all that sugar in it I nearly dropped my tea. I was like woah that's a lot of sugar O.O Then I realized it's a lot of filling so that makes sense.
I love it, I'm so excited my friend Bella and I are coming for a visit some time before Christmas 2020. I do so hope that you mrs. Crowcombe will be there.
My mother made mince meat pies. No meat, but suet, and basically the same ingredients. She would make it in a crock and add brandy and mix it every few days. It sat in the fridge for about a month. Then she made two crust tarts and sprinkle with powdered sugar when baked and cooled. She baked them in tins, brought over from England, some were hand made.
She needs to have her own show. She's practically perfect in every way!
Sounding like a true Mary Poppins fan.
I'd definitely watch it
IKR
Gloriana2012 agreed! I️ would totally binge watch that show :)
She also throws a lot of shade in such a classy victorian way. I'd watch her show!
"Nowadays it's more fashionable not to add meat but we're very traditional here."
"It's a good job Sarah let me borrow this large tub from the laundry."
DAMN HAHAHAHAHAHAH, I CAN'T 😂😂😂😂😂
Aodaili Tan haha yea I was like "a laundry tub"
Didn't they do laundry using urine?
Marnelle Salazar , the Romans used urine, but in the Victorian times, the probably made soap
Marnelle Salazar DAMN. That's disgusting tho HAHAH 😂😂
Marnelle Salazar Sometimes. They'd use it to get stains out
I love this series! It would be lovely if you expanded it to show us what life is like for the other members of the estate staff--the boot boy, the head groom, the governess, everyone.
That is a wonderful idea Alaina, thanks for sharing. You can find out more about life at Audley End House here: goo.gl/ZXm97d

Agreeded the scullery maid would intrest me.Im quite young and of I were a servant at the tim that would be my position.
I absolutely love this idea. The daily life of everyone in the household would be awesome. Lol
Yes! That sounds dreadfully exciting, I'd love to know how the everyday life of lady's maids and the valet were! Servants in Victorian times are so interesting to know more about, how they did their everyday chores and how they lived.

I can't wait to see Part Two: "Sarah Borrows Mrs. Colcombe's Brass Mixing Bowl to Wash Lord Braybrooke's Knickers"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Tracy Carmack OH MY LORD. That is freakin hilarious. I'm dying!
🤣
A gentleman? In knickers?
I should hope not.
@@Nahneen 🤮🤮🤮
Mmmm... That savoury taste of laundry residue... Delightful 😂
Mmmm...tastes like detergent.
Mrs. C would have thoroughly cleaned it days before this. She is a proper and intelligent British woman.
It's her secret 😉
To be fair laundry soap at the time was made from tallow, fat, or vegetable oil... so not quite as toxic as its modern equivalent.
The secret ingredient is lye
Sara was extremely passive aggressive about you using her laundry tub.
She was indeed!
English Heritage Haha :D
English Heritage How was the meringue icing made for these?
sekritdinos I don't have English heritage, but I suppose it was made out of fluffy egg whites and sugar.
She's passive aggressive with everything- she's what we call in America a ghetto snob - lol
Nicely put together. But I have that naughty thought that there should be a disgruntled wash woman in the back with a cockney accent absolutely raving about the amount she has to clean.
pimenel yes hahaha scullery maids...u know I'm really interested in the Victorian era...like how they use the toilet...(ahem...shooting their dung straight to a hole down the sewer) Tudors forr example....and how aristocratic people overworked their maids from dawn till dusk.
pimenel this is one of the most English sounding comments I've ever seen in my life. I love it😂
"Oi, that bloomin' gov' an the ol' tart oop-stairs wit the valet an groomin'. Leavin' me all down here to do all the bleedin' heavy shite of washin' der' own. Makin' a six-pence a month bread just, an all!!!" XD

That was the first thing I thought of 🤣
"or any meat that your budget allows" damnn lmao
Chicken
I never felt so attacked before😔
Some baloney
@Grass
Yummy
I gave a little shiver from the shade thrown there.
“Add plenty of fine sugar”. Avalanche ensues....
Well it's better than the poor Turbot in another recipe- who received an entire fist of salt thrown on his head
I wish these videos would be longer. It's such a pleasure to watch them and relaxing too.
I laughed a little when she giggled and said she cooking the food in a wash tub. 😂
England and the English people have such an incredible history and heritage. Love this channel
I love your cooking videos series. Would it be possible to do a series with a Victorian maid, full of cleaning tips?
Great idea!

Holyfiremolotov it used to human mince meat pies
Oh yes I've heard that since they didn't have resealable bags plastic bowls to store cooked meat and fruits they were put into pies. That's innovation! For the winter you could put the pies into a non insulated room as a freezer and just take one out and bake it, scoop out the meat
I only eat vegan mince pies. Animal products are disgusting.
Holyfiremolotov Ellie!!!
Interesting...thank you for posting !!!
Oh goody, I'm not the only one that uses the laundry tub for cooking
😂🤣
I personally use my washing machine as a mixer
My trash can works double duty during the holidays, when all the relatives are in town. 😆

Ina: if you can't get fire directly from the pits of hell, store-bought is just fine.
3 years later and I keep finding myself coming back to this video. I love watching all the English Heritage videos over and over again.
“Or any meat your budget allows.” Always sensible :)

Mary Anne: Are the pies going to be sweet or savory?
Mrs Crocombe: yes
I love the way she uses modern suet, all nice and neat, when I was young we had to go to our local market and buy beef suet for the Christmas pudding and mince pies and grated the suet by hand. But its so nice to see recipes from Victorian times and how they have changed over the years.
now I need to know what a boiled lemon tastes like...
Vayona Narekuli .... try a salted preserved lemon!....just be sure and rinse first!!!!😳
Im curious too but i cant imagine they taste like anything other than warm lemon
Vayona Narekuli I've read that warming a lemon yields more juice, so maybe that's why you boil them?
It’s like a more lemony lemon if that makes sense
Bubbles yields more juice? I don't understand, the lemon will have the same amount of juice it contains regardless of boiling it or not lemons don't magically have more juice just because you boiled them. It's the same amount either way. Now if it's used to loosen up more juice that's trapped to get more out then.

Oh, my! I wonder how many little pies can be made with that tub of mince meat. They must've had a large number of guests around the holidays.
that intro snatched me. it didn't even snatch my weave, it just SNATCHED ME!
I will never understand mince pie. I wonder who came up with it. "nom nom let's make fruit pie and maybe add some nuts and citrus... *sees meat on side table* ooh let's mush that in too!" love the video and it's interesting to watch but mince pies are more that questionable lol

English Heritage ooh, goody!
For some reason I have been obsessed with this era and love everything . I almost feel sad that I wasn’t born then . Love this series
I have honestly never seen dessert with meat. I am intrigued.
traditionally mincemeat has meat in it but most don't use it any more like suet it is animal fat from the liver and kidney area it is not used here in the U.S. unless you know a butcher.
İn Turkey we have a dessert named"chicken breast".. really we use real chicken breast in it 😊gastromanya.com/tavuk-gogsu-tarifi-nasil-yapilir/
The mincemeat I grew up with is made with deer meat. Usually a deer neck.
A lot of people are adding bacon to desserts here in America. I think most people would be confused, but there's definitely a vocal minority.

the world needs many Mrs. Crocombes.

I Have JUST discovered this GEM, I love Mrs. Crocombe shes speaks so delicately, I've just clicked on and on.
I absolutely love these videos. I love making good old fashion English recipes! I will be eagerly waiting the next video as usual 👍
Thank you Paige, let us know if you give this recipe a try!
Mrs. Crocombe: it's always pleasing to use something for its specific purpose.
Also Mrs. Crocombe: LET ME PUT SOME FOOD IN THIS LARGE TUB FROM THE LAUNDRY
Love the Victorian cooking videos the most. Wish there were more , I've watched all of the others . ❤️❤️
No celebrity cook makes me want to try a recipe more than Mrs. Crocombe.
Thanks for these videos. I'm planning on trying to make a traditional Victorian Christmas this year, and I live in Norway so it's not too easy to come by the information I need to make this happen. Your videos along with the Victorian Farm-series have helped me A LOT. So thank you so much, and please keep them coming? :) Also I agree with the comment about Victorian cleaning tips.

I literally could rewatch this series over and over i love it.
I want to see her perform “Worst Pies in London” while she makes these.
Queen of throwing shades. Bend our kness to Mrs. Crocombe House of Audley End

I just discovered these videos recently and I'm very happy I have!
That's great to hear, Letrie! Make sure you subscribe to be notified when new videos come out. :)
It is so wonderful to watch Mrs Crocombe again.!
I'm so fucking single I'm watching this on Saturday night. Well done me.
Lol, you made laugh my coffee out of my nose,
I know that feeling very wel
sadly.
I did not expect your sort of comment along with this video.
but it made my day somehow!
have a nice 2018
a less single one!
@Kristyna - but at least you will be able to feed your lover when you find them
I am so obsessed with this show. I'm never making these but can't stop watching!
This seems more like: Adding every one of Mrs Crocombe’s favourite ingredients together
This is one that I can honestly say I have never seen.... and I believed I had watched them all... I love new videos and catching ones I have never seen... 👍🏾💕
"And now my favorite bit, the spices." That's because Mrs. Crocombe is so spicy herself.
I love the Christmas music it's so pretty and magical
So, do "fashionable" folk just leave the meat _out_ of the recipe, or do they _replace_ it with extra fruit or cheese or vegetables or something?
Good question! More 'modern' recipes would leave out the meat and perhaps add extra fruit, like prunes. You can find out more here: goo.gl/MaK2v2
Almost without a doubt, cucumbers. If in doubt it's the cucumber. Honestly I think the victorians had some weird fetish.
@@spectralimages8961 Oh my, I'm having flash back. The cucumber ice cream!
Cucumbers were easy to grow in British weather.
Mrs Crocombe, I wish there was a youtube channel of you. I adore your videos.
Victorian desserts: or how to get wasted on pastry
huh? wasted in what way? The alcohol is burned off during cooking...
NETFLIX COME GET THIS WOMAN AND GIVE HER A SHOW WITH SEVEN SEASONS AND A SUBPLOT OF DRAMAAAAAAA
I'm in love with these videos. Really gets you in the mood for Christmas and other holidays.
Mince pies and german stollen are my favorite christmas sweets. So good! Thank you for sharing 🙏
Very fun channel! I especially like the Victorian segment, mostly due to the hostess. She's brilliant! :)
She needs a Victorian Cooking Show I would watch it every week.
Me : *Clicks thumbnail to watch how to make cute little victorian pies
Ms Crochombe: For this recipe you will need *OX TONGUE*
Me: *WHAT*
I have no idea why this woman's videos were in my recommended but I'm so frickin happy.
I honestly love this but as soon as I heard “ox tongue” I dropped my hamburger
Ox tongue is very tasty 🇨🇦
If you eat hot dogs you've already eaten some stranger meats.
Exactly 😟
This is one of those dishes that we really have nothing like in America but I’m sure is legitimately delicious. I can’t imagine what mince meat with all the sweet fruit and liquor would taste like but I’d imagine I would really enjoy it. I kinda wanna try making them now
Oh Mrs Crocombe, insists on a designated turbot steamer but hijacks a tub from the laundry to mix her mince pies 😂
Love you, Mrs. Crocombe!
I need someone to say my name the way that she says brandy every time. Happiness
Love love love this cooking series in Victorian way !! Can't watch to see more of it and hope more coming soon !!
I remember my English teacher arguing that minced pies never used meat. I am glad they did because I am a huge fan of meaty small pies.
Hands down my favorite channel on RUclips
When she dumped all that sugar in it I nearly dropped my tea. I was like woah that's a lot of sugar O.O
Then I realized it's a lot of filling so that makes sense.
the music for this is OUTSTANDING
I want a serie that may have about dressing, hair, shoes, healthy ( sorry for my bad english)
Great idea! Thanks for taking the time to let us know.
I'm gonna need more videos of this fabulous lady
We'll see what we can do...
Thoughts during every listing of the ingredients: "Wait for it, wait for it , wait for it... Aaah, there's the brandy!"
Love watching these videos. Please make more! Love seeing the kitchen with utensils and kitchen from Victorian era!!!
Thank you Carol, we're glad you enjoy the videos! Don't worry, Mrs Crocombe will be back on your screen very soon...

Try honey-baked ham, pancakes or waffles with syrup and bacon/sausage/ham on the side; Hawaiian pizza, etc.
I love it, I'm so excited my friend Bella and I are coming for a visit some time before Christmas 2020. I do so hope that you mrs. Crowcombe will be there.
Does all victorian recipes involve Sherry and brandy? 🤣🤣
juan miguel rivas del toro not at all
Best RUclips Cooking Channel!!!
I had no idea that minced meat was meat...with fruit and sugar 😱
Claire Scott in victorian times was super common to mix sweet and savory, meat and fruit were often together in various recipes
I hate any currants/raisins in my pastries or cakes and yet here i am.
When life gives you boiled lemons
So happy I found this recipe as I’m making mince pies in the traditional way. Thank you

Aaaaaand I just closed the window.
It's really good
My mother made mince meat pies. No meat, but suet, and basically the same ingredients. She would make it in a crock and add brandy and mix it every few days. It sat in the fridge for about a month. Then she made two crust tarts and sprinkle with powdered sugar when baked and cooled. She baked them in tins, brought over from England, some were hand made.
This remind me the triffle dessert Rachel did in Friends hehehe
My absolute favorite series!! I hope they add more to it.
I'm eating a mince pie for the first time ever and it's sooooo good!
That's good news! Did you use Mrs Crocombe's recipe?
English Heritage thanks :3 no, the ones we bought were storebought (but they were baked in Scotland)
We still hope you enjoyed it.
