Certainly if you called her "Ms". In those households there was a strict hierarchy, kitchen, house and parlour maids were first name only, usually given them when they took up employment and "inherited" from the last maid. This saved the lady of the house having to remember new names, or indeed having to realise that today's maid is not the same as yesterday's. Ladies' maids and governesses were "Miss" and the surname. This raised them up from the others but not so much as would go to their heads. Housekeepers and cooks were always "Mrs" and their surname, whether married or not. A structure that seems patriarchal but was purely so the female staff knew who were the alpha and beta females. "And don't you forget it, my girl, now get about and peel them potatoes" as Mrs Crocombe would say. Edit: I would have been severely reprimanded for posting without checking the spelling first.

Made even better by the fact that it's actually a Dutch word, because the majority of the White population in the States in its infancy until about the end of the 19th century were Dutch or German. Hence so many of their words were integrated into American English.

I'm making the servants' Christmas punch, because Mr Butler, the butler, is "too busy". And you can absolutely hear the irony "as if I'm not busy enough as it is".
I'm from the Midwest so I think I can translate passive-aggressive. I think by "too busy" she means "can't be bothered to get off his fat ass so I guess I'll have to do it." Or at least that's what it meant around my grandparents.
I know I'm a little late to this, but wouldn't that apply to her too, since she knows that they give foods a little flavor, or that she was at one point before the BrayBrookes?

My mother told me the other day, that when her grandmother was young she and her siblings enjoyed eating fried onions as candy. It tasted sweet and they couldn't afford sugar.
My mom's Mama grew up in rural Georgia (state, not country), and they used to take whole onions, cut a hole into the top of them, put a pat of butter in it, and put them directly in the cook fire with skins still on them while making dinner. It burned the skin off, and cooked the onions, and made them very sweet. They ate them as a desert. A century later, and her grandson does a similar thing in the oven with red onions, and it is amazing.
I can't stand the smell of onions. I hate how my breath smells after eating just a tiny slice. Even when I burp it smells really bad and it makes me dizzy and triggers migraine. It also sucks that the smell stays no matter how long I brush my teeth, floss, and gargle with mouthwash. I hate Onion and Garlic. I like peppery foods though.

It's more likely that as an adult male, and one of the servant's head of household, he could be presumed to be able to hold his liquor. Whereas the scullery maid, who was likely to be extremely young and not used to alcohol, would be badly affected. Being an upper servant was all about keeping lower servants under control.
The Victorian Way series is an extension of the Audley End exhibits. This actress had been performing Avis Crocombe live for a few years before they started the series. However, she isn't always playing Mrs. Crocombe, and the other actors do give her different spins.
The clip with her sifting the flower being unsure about the quality, i actually think it's a reference to the extent of food adulteration during the victorian period, where millers often put different substitutes like chalk, plast-powders, allum, sand and dust in with the flower to lower their costs, and by at least sifting it you would remove bigger particles of these substances.
Karen Siegel What are you on about? Granulated sugar is sugar theres no starch in it. Unless you’re talking about powdered sugar where corn starch IS added to allow the sugar to dissolve easier in liquids for making icing and glazes. You can also buy powdered sugar without corn starch.
There's a British history show (absolute history?) I think that's what it was called but they covered adulterated food of the Victorian age milk was mixed with borax 😮
In the past couple years, she dropped the unpleasant attitude toward her kitchen staff. Perhaps someone gave her a copy of Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack (1744) in which he wrote, "Tart Words make no Friends: spoonful of honey will catch more flies than Gallon of Vinegar."
I would love to see her go head-to-head with the master chef himself Gordon Ramsay He couldn't yell over the ultimate power of that eyebrow raise she throws out like that
Aww you should have added that shady leer when she said how some people called roly poly pudding “Dead Man’s Legs!” Otherwise this is a fantastic video, I’ve been waiting for this!
Omg that was so fricking shady of her 😂 I couldn't tell whether she simply disagreed or whether she was implying people cut off dead men's trousers for it lol
There's another good one in the cucumber ice cream episode, when she kindly explains how you can make ice cream using two metal containers, "if you don't work in as grand a house as this, and don't have your own ice cream maker".
The actress and the entire character are just so consistent, definitely the best series to come out of Heritage House. With some acting training, I honestly think she could carry an entire show. Don’t come for me, I am really talking about scene training with other characters! It’s crazy how this actress is already naturally giving us subtext and realism... amazing instincts!
I love the episode where she says something about "plum pudding being called a 'dead man's leg' in SOME circles," and then gives the dirtiest look I've ever seen. You could take paint off the walls with Mrs. Crocombe's disapproving look.

The turbot kettle line is still my absolute favorite Mrs. Crocombe sass moment
I'm a big fan of "dead man's leg"
Doesn’t everyone have a turbot kettle laying around their kitchen?
I love the "you were told there were 10 guests but there were actually 14." So much shade
lol
Shirt sleeve pudding was great too
Mrs. Crocombe in Dr. McCoy voice: "I'm a cook, not a confectioner!"
dammit jim !
*it just got 20 degrees cooler in the shade for exactly 5 minutes and 54 seconds*
"It is associated with the poor" *LOOKS ME DEAD IN EYE*
“Once the biscuits are cooled arranged them delicately...”
Me: that’s a cooki-
Her: “I suppose the Americans call them a cookie.”
Me: I- 🤔
Literally how my thought process was when I watched that video
Listen here Colonial...
Omg I love her so much.. She's like that one kindergarten teacher who is sweet lady but kids are scared off cause she always look so mad lmao
'The butler is too busy '
The butler in the basement: 👁👅👁
Mrs Crocombe had best mind herself, I'm fairly sure the butler outranks her!
Well, Sebastian did have that thing with the nun..
@@rokiahmohdnor good reference
Translation: The butler has started his Boxing Day Drinking EARLY.
@@rokiahmohdnor ohhhhh I'm proud today of the black butler community!
Snarky in a very proper manner.
In the past couple years, she dropped the unpleasant attitude toward her kitchen staff. Perhaps someone gave her a copy of Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack (1744) in which he wrote, "Tart Words make no Friends: spoonful of honey will catch more flies than Gallon of Vinegar."
"I suppose the Americans might call them a cookie."
Me, an American: I'm so sorry.
Lol
Me also an American: I’m ashamed of myself
Mrs. Crocombe: Today we're making brown bread crumb pudding for a luncheon sweet dish. It is perfect for upper servants.... or MiDdLe ClAsS fAmILieS
Honestly she’s just so sweet it doesn’t really feel like shade.
Yeah! Lots of these don't even feel like they were SUPPOSED to be shade. Just sass. Mr Lincoln needs to get his act together though, sounds like!
An early an ancestor of Claire from the Bon Appetite Test Kitchen
Oh my god THIS
I would die for them both.
And Gordon Ramsay
"I suppose Americans would call them ..cookies"
*You can feel the dripping contempt*
She's not being shady. She's just aware of who is important and who isn't.
*THE QUEEN OF THORNS*
I would love to see her go head-to-head with the master chef himself Gordon Ramsay
He couldn't yell over the ultimate power of that eyebrow raise she throws out like that
SoupySandwich Gordon Ramsey = nada, nope, not impressed
Oh god... she knows I call them cookies... SHE KNOWS IM A FILTHY PEASANT!!! 😭
"This is quite a cheap cake to make, now that they've reduced the taxes on sugar (...)" *gives us Amy Farrah Fowler look*
Got that so right!😍
I've seen TBBT, but i don't get this. What do you mean?
the fact that this video exists is literally my favorite thing oh my gosh
This is just me getting called poor for almost 6 minutes.
I AM A COOK, NOT A CONFECTIONER
the sass is insane. I adore her
Aww you should have added that shady leer when she said how some people called roly poly pudding “Dead Man’s Legs!” Otherwise this is a fantastic video, I’ve been waiting for this!
I can't believe i missed that 😭
The "Dead Man's Leg." look was legend!
Aquarillo oh yes! That’s a classic mrs crocrombe moment!
Omg that was so fricking shady of her 😂
I couldn't tell whether she simply disagreed or whether she was implying people cut off dead men's trousers for it lol
There's another good one in the cucumber ice cream episode, when she kindly explains how you can make ice cream using two metal containers, "if you don't work in as grand a house as this, and don't have your own ice cream maker".
“When there were, in fact, 14” when I tell you I hollered
The actress and the entire character are just so consistent, definitely the best series to come out of Heritage House. With some acting training, I honestly think she could carry an entire show. Don’t come for me, I am really talking about scene training with other characters! It’s crazy how this actress is already naturally giving us subtext and realism... amazing instincts!
“ *the soup for the poor* ”
Natsu. Great I’m in the right video
Is made out of the poor.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not one single soul:
Mrs. Crocombe: *these are gonna go to the servants*
She meant peasants
She is so sincere sounding it's hard to figure out when she's being sassy
I think her touch of sass and hints of sarcasm humanize her, thus appealing to her audience even more. What a queen!!
"I would never serve anything without trying it first "
She's truly a gem
" usually associated with the poor"
* looks at the camera and literally @'s every single one of us without batting an eye*
When is Audley End House or English Heritage themselves gonna come out with Mrs. Crocombe merch? I need a Mrs. C t-shirt!
There's a cookbook coming, if not already out!
It’s out but shipping to the US is more than the book itself soooo… 😭
I never realized how salty/shady she actually was until watching this. Thank you for making this!
4:46 this is how I'm gonna start saying "I'm done" if I don't finish my food
Mrs Crocombe: “the kitchen maids can do that”
Me: *laughs in poor*
The uwu killed me lol
She may be a cook to the Braybrooks, but she is a queen in our hearts.
"THE SERVANTS WRATH"- soon in theaters around you.
I love the episode where she says something about "plum pudding being called a 'dead man's leg' in SOME circles," and then gives the dirtiest look I've ever seen. You could take paint off the walls with Mrs. Crocombe's disapproving look.
5:07 BUT FOR THE SERVANTS THIS IS JUST F i n e
