Potatoes, Plum Pudding and Peacock: eating with the Victorians at Christmas
Fri, 4 December 2020 2:00PM – 3:00PM
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/potatoes-plum-pudding-and-peacock-eating-with-the-victorians-at-christmas-tickets-125471132535?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch
Provided Description:
The Victorians are well known for the reinvention of Christmas, moving it from an unfashionably drunken knees-up to a (sometimes) more sedate family celebration. But while we can give the era a grateful nod for the Christmas tree, carols and crackers, let’s be honest - it’s really all about the food.
Most of the foods we think of as Christmas were, for a long time, simply seasonal feast foods. But over the course of the Victorian period, plum pudding became Christmas pudding, Twelfth cake lost out to Christmas cake, and turkey started to triumph. In this illustrated talk, Annie Gray will take us on a tour through the Christmas tables of the rich, the poor and the doing just fines, to show how the Christmas dinner we love (or hate) today came about. You may even pick up some take-home tips.
Annie Gray is a food historian and author, and a panellist on BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet.

We can look to the past, knowing that a vision for what lies ahead cannot be divorced from remembrance of what lies behind. It takes courage to admit mistakes. It requires boldness to share your voice. And it takes vision to step back so that we can move forward together.
Every new idea was deemed impossible until someone came along and shared a new reality. We invite you to share your vision. We don’t care what’s possible. We want to know that you’ll dream with us and that we’ll awaken each other until we do the impossible.
