1/12th Scale Victorian Table Food
Circa 1837 - 1900
Towards the end of the
third decade of the 19th Century, great strides had been made in the kitchen,
cooking facilities had made a great deal of progress and this was reflected in
the dining room and in what people ate.
The rapid rise of the
railways revolutionized the movement of food supplies, resulting in fresher
fish, dairy products, vegetables and grocery products of all kinds, now able to
be be delivered quickly and easily to markets far way from their point of
origin. This meant different and more interesting items on the dinner
menu.
The last quarter of the
18th Century had seen meals become more varied with many more 'made up' dishes
being introduced from France, instead of just roasting, boiling or stewing,
meat and fish could now be prepared and served with a savoury sauce and a
combination of ingrediants. Popular cookery books were being published to help
the 'plain cook' to lift her cuisine to a more interesting level and by the
middle of the 19th Century, grocers and merchants had begun to manufacture and
package many dry goods, savoury table sauces such as Worcestershire and
Ketchup, to help the average housewife. Cornflour had begun to
replace ordinary flour for thickening, but it was now also mixed with
sweeteners and flavours for blancmanges, dessert moulds and custard
powder. Tea had started to be packaged in individual grocers packs
earlier in the Century and spices were pre-mixed and sold; savoury for such as
curries, nutmeg, cinnamon, mace etc for sweet dishes.
