Too bad they didn't have some kind of lunch food thing in Britain where you put sliced meat or cheese between two slices of something like bread. That would be much simpler to make and transport.
What a ridiculous comment! Young women of today now cant cook a pancake to save their lives let alone know what the ingredients are. There Is Nothing shame full about being a house wife, the destruction of the family unit has come about thanks to idiots who think like you.! Girls these days know how to dial an Uber eats, and that's it. Lost is the relationship between mother and daughter.
@@AaronHahnStudios Or so says the *man.* Honestly, cooking shouldn’t be gendered. It’s a an important life skill. Everyone needs to eat. I’m a girl, almost 18, and I cook quite well. I’ve made my own pasta, beef bourguignon, turkey stock, turkey noodle soup, pancakes, pierogis, etc. What can you do? Can you cook? I’m assuming that you’re adult. If you cannot cook as an adult.... that’s just kinda of sad. You can’t depend on others to cook for you, you know. Rather than complaining about women not knowing how to cook these days, try consider cooking for yourself. It’s quite relaxing. Edit: also, please consider that most people nowadays cannot achieve the “ideal family life” (the dad goes to work and the mom stays at home to take care of the kids) for multiple reasons. It’s next to impossible for an entire family to rely on one person to make income nowadays. Most of the time, both parents have to go work to support the entire family.
@@AaronHahnStudios There is a lot of truth in what you said, but there is more to it than that. Yes, many young women can't cook... neither can many young men. Too many people get all their meals from restaurants or packaged stuff. No, there is nothing shameful about being a housewife, one of my best friends is one and she's a housewife because that's what she chooses to be, and she picked a husband who can support their family.... she also has a PhD and is one of the smartest people I know. But why are you picking on the original poster? They were right, people on Pintrest do all kinds of crazy stuff and make it look easy, just as this film made making swans out of hard boiled eggs look easy... but in the real world hardly anyone really wants or has time for that kind of silliness.
I always spend sometimes to cook neatly for my husband. It's worth. The food is good, and nutrition but cheaper. Grains, meat, fresh vegetables, soup, fruit are on the table. We spend about 45 minutes to 1 hour to relax our mind on good food and conversation. Good food make you want to spend time. But bad food make you just eat and leave fast.
Because back then, attention to detail, quality, and enjoying the process *meant* something to people.. you don't see this anymore and it's such a damn shame.
They'd been on a strict diet of water and fresh air all week. And they also knew if they ate the fish, they wouldn't have to try the uncooked, yet magically burned pastry log.

@@parkchimmin7913 I don't entirely agree. I'd argue there's only a very slight difference between, for instance, Cumbrian and Dumfries accents.

Accents don't just abruptly diverge because of a political border, least of all one which has changed so much over the centuries. As to whether England and Scotland are really separate countries - that is a matter of semantic debate. How do you define a country which is part of a larger country?

@@mikee8605 As to whether England and Scotland are really separate countries - that is a matter or semantic debate.” Just look at a map. Yes, they are apart of the United Kingdom, but they are separate countries that have their fair share of cultural differences. That is literally a fact. Accents do indeed vary from region to region.

It will have been upgraded in the late 60s because it was designed to run on coal gas and would have been adapted to use natural gas after the change over to North Sea gas.
AMEN. I am going looking for a vintage stove . My 10 year old one is HORRID!! I hate it. Things now are bade to be replaced so that the company has a constant flow of income.
Now they probably need a damn software upgrade like my dads TV went thru for the second time this week.

Otherwise the fuel air ratio is wrong.
It's the dark ring around the yolk that says it's overdone...you should hard-cook eggs (boil the water, add the eggs, remove from the burner and cover) so that doesn't happen.

@@pix_d20 It is similar to how Muslims don't like it when people mention their prophet. Christians are not as zealous as Muslims but there are still many heavily religious Christians who see it as an insult to mention God out of context. Just as their are many Muslims who don't mind when someone mentions Mohamed out of context. You either have people who are moderately religious or you have people that are extremely religious, Islam has lots of extremists, Christianity has very few extremists but both religions have extremists and moderates. People who say "Don't take God's name in vain!" are the extremists.
Fanny Cradock had hard boiled eggs with green gray lines around the yolk?! I used to make orange and lemon baskets when my mother had her annual Christmas party and I hold them out and filled them with cherries and one with little lime wedges and one with little lemon wedges for cocktails and they were prettier than hers. At 8 years old I was doing this stuff and nobody taught me. That's a proper sausage roll without a lot of pastry! While I lived in the UK and made and consumed my fair share of sausage rolls but I seasoned them up and everybody I knew like them better than their original which is on the Bland side. On shrove Tuesday in the UK we always had there type of pancakes with her actually Crepes and my American made recipe. People could not believe how filling American pancakes are! :-)
It didn’t look appetising, lol. But we are so blessed today to eat from all over the world from Chinese to Indian, Mediterranean - they were more limited just 50 years ago... It’s incredible how much the world has changed in such a small space of time...
0:39 look at how overcooked and green that yolk is. I'm glad the more recent generations have begun to understand the joys of of not overcooking everything. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of old school dishes, but our modern understanding of lower safe cooking temperatures was a huge advance for the culinary world.
That last video...wow as a boy mom and teacher, it really hit home. What I wouldn't give to be able to help boys learn in methods like this. Every teacher knows that in the youngest grades, boys are always the naughtiest, because they aren't built for sitting still and learning fine motor skills. They need this.
The trouble is there would have to be a risk assessment and it would fail because of the outside location and the fire. Children are so coddled. Yes, they need to be cared for but I am luck to have been born in the 50’s and we went on all kinds of trekking expeditions. I fell out of a tree once and scraped my leg. A piece of plaster and we carried on. I learned how to avoid being hurt.
I just love these vintage short films... and vintage recipes. Double the joy. These food presentations are pure mid-20th century insanity. Now I'm wondering what current foodie trends we will roll our eyes at in a few decades.
Newspapers used to have lead in the print. It stopped well over forty years ago, but before that, Fish & Chips were wrapped in them. They stopped the Fish & Chips being wrapped in them before the dangerous print changed. We used to like the paper wrapping because it was often in newspapers which were not locally available and they were very entertaining to read. The only weird thing about the emergence of the Women's Movement, is that it did not happen twenty years sooner. Aaargh! The sexism! It is embarrassing! Let the man moaning about the picnic food cook himself! The boarding school segment was an reminder of the bad old days. Aaargh! I would NEVER send a child to a school like that. How I loathe hearties! Though the women's movement has not eliminated male hearties. It just seems to have created a new class of hearties - the female ones. Though perhaps they always existed. Possibly I just didn't notice them. Thank you for the film.
These are all newsreels, shown at the movies from the early 1930s to the early 1970s we used to get two movies with news and cartoons in between. Great value then, sadly long gone.
"The meals you give your husband at a picnic are not as good as those at home? If he complains, perhaps it's your own fault" Um, excuse me? Perhaps he should make his OWN food then -_-
Jeffrey Gadd The best way to cook boiled eggs is to: place eggs into bottom of empty pot, cover with water, Bring the pot of eggs on the stove long enough to bring them to a rolling boil, Remove pot from stove and allow the eggs and water in the pot to stand for 20 minutes. The residual heat in the water will perfectly cook the eggs with no green yolk.
I like when they said that if the husband doesn’t like your picnic food over your home meals it’s your fault lol 😂 and then as if the little dainty baskets and finger food we’re gonna change his manly ways
Hilarious. I remember Fanny and Johnny Craddock and their food was the height of sophistication. When I think back to the food of the 50’s and 60’s, whilst it wasn’t tasty, it wasn’t loaded with fats and carbs. The most dangerous thing to eat was cream cakes. Definitely no takeaway and junk food. Seeing how cuisine has developed, how we have embraced international dishes and ingredients, food has become a pleasure. I feel this is one of the reasons many of us have become overweight!
I have a question about the orange baskets. Are you supposed to eat the inside? Scoop it out? Put something else in there?Looks like it has the potential to create a juicy mess.
I’m a cook. I love to be creative. But who has time to carve fruits and vegetables for every dish?! 🤣 (my poor husband - I guess he’ll never have “appetizing food” 😆)
This reminds me of the movie with Rodney dangerfield, " back to school", when he takes all the auderves in his wife's party and puts them in a hero sandwich! Lol.
Oh dear! While Fanny may having some fun, making swans from hard boiled eggs - she clearly didn’t know how to boil a hard boiled egg, as her eggs have a blue/green sulphur ring round the yolk, indicating that they were either overcooked or weren’t cooled quickly enough.

There were no foreign holidays and Chinese and Indian restaurants were unknown in the provinces, also imported exotic fruit and vegs haven’t arrived yet.
If your husband doesn't like your cooking, then perhaps its because you filled it with boiled herring, anchovies, mayonnaise, and cheese.
@steam driver Then wifey gets to show off her nursing skills.
I have a sudden craving for a herring, anchovy, cheese, and mayo sandwich. Maybe a celery jello mold on the side.

I don't play with my food, I EAT IT!!! Forget any garnish. If it isn't intended to be eaten, it goes in the trash, not on my plate.
"The meals you give your husband at a picnic are not as good as those at home? If he complains, perhaps it's your own fault" Um, excuse me? Perhaps he should make his OWN food then -_-
Army Catering Corps...hardest exams in the World. No one has ever passed.
The 1935 clip warmed my heart.
Absolutely fascinating to watch this video, I wasn't born then but for young person like it's absolutely brilliant to watch, cheers 🍹
My wife had one of these gas cookers in 1978. so it goes to show, they were well made !
omg the egg if overcooked
Jeffrey Gadd The best way to cook boiled eggs is to: place eggs into bottom of empty pot, cover with water, Bring the pot of eggs on the stove long enough to bring them to a rolling boil, Remove pot from stove and allow the eggs and water in the pot to stand for 20 minutes. The residual heat in the water will perfectly cook the eggs with no green yolk.
The purple inside is from not shelling the eggs before its cooled enough..not overcooked.

Do you really imagine people would faff about like that?
Hot water 2/5 minutes depending on how hard you want the egg.
@@pegasusgalaxy68 - That's not true. Those eggs were overcooked.
Most people don't know and simply don't care.
Just so it's cooked !
Hilarious. Love watching these British food videos from the 50s. Thanks for posting.
My mum had one of those New World cookers in the mid 50s - worked really well. She produced some wonderful things from it.
I love the music.😅
I think the swans are fabulous! They could be updated and perfected and a beautiful display/conversation piece. I’m totally doing it 👏🏻😊☀️
i love this channel
I have been laughing all through reading comments so many flash backs.
I wear exactly what she does every day in the kitchen. No,apron for me, no Sire! Cocktail dress and the BIG pearls it is!
🍅🍆🍋🍊🍏 How adorable vintage video 🍴🍹🍸🍷🍺
I love her little stove
Who on earth is that man with silly voice shouting at. Bet he is a joy to live with. Wouldnt happen today.
Thank you these bring back so many good memories from my husband and my childhoods
I like when they said that if the husband doesn’t like your picnic food over your home meals it’s your fault lol 😂 and then as if the little dainty baskets and finger food we’re gonna change his manly ways
Seeing a Swan egg would be rare in todays time. And I could watch this all day its that good
The accent, the music. I love it!
'Beat the daylights out of the mixture' 😆
Nothing says picnic better than burgers, dogs, and some nice boiled herring baked in dough!
Hilarious. I remember Fanny and Johnny Craddock and their food was the height of sophistication. When I think back to the food of the 50’s and 60’s, whilst it wasn’t tasty, it wasn’t loaded with fats and carbs. The most dangerous thing to eat was cream cakes. Definitely no takeaway and junk food. Seeing how cuisine has developed, how we have embraced international dishes and ingredients, food has become a pleasure. I feel this is one of the reasons many of us have become overweight!
That cooker! It must have been the height of kitchen tech when Queen Victoria was just a lass!
I feel sick.
I have a question about the orange baskets. Are you supposed to eat the inside? Scoop it out? Put something else in there?Looks like it has the potential to create a juicy mess.
I love this :) it reminds me of my grandma
I’m a cook. I love to be creative. But who has time to carve fruits and vegetables for every dish?! 🤣 (my poor husband - I guess he’ll never have “appetizing food” 😆)
This reminds me of the movie with Rodney dangerfield, " back to school", when he takes all the auderves in his wife's party and puts them in a hero sandwich! Lol.
Served with lots of jolly music.
Love the video & background music 🎶
Oh dear! While Fanny may having some fun, making swans from hard boiled eggs - she clearly didn’t know how to boil a hard boiled egg, as her eggs have a blue/green sulphur ring round the yolk, indicating that they were either overcooked or weren’t cooled quickly enough.

3:27 I love that oven
i was taught to start the fire with the orange, and cook the egg in a potato.
The swans are life
Fanny Craddock was so awesome 😂
Love the Pacing Stick in the hands of the Sgt. Major!
I saw Fanny Craddock give a demonstration in 1964 of duck à l’orange. It was divided up into tiny portions and passed round, it was raw.
There were no foreign holidays and Chinese and Indian restaurants were unknown in the provinces, also imported exotic fruit and vegs haven’t arrived yet.
kids eatin raw doe at the end lol 😂😂
