SIR, THERE are some Counties in England, whose Customs are never to be set aside and our Friends in Cumberland, as well as some of our Neighbours in Lancashire, and else-where, keep them up. It is a Custom with us every Christmas-Day in the Morning, to have, what we call an Hackin, for the Breakfast of the young Men who work about our House; and if this Dish is not dressed by that time it is Day-light, the Maid is led through the Town, between two Men, as fast as they can run with her, up Hill and down Hill, which she accounts a great shame. But as for the Receipt to make this Hackin, which is admired so much by us, it is as follows. Take the Bag or Paunch of a Calf, and wash it, and clean it well with Water and Salt ; then take some Beef-Suet, and shred it small, and shred some Apples, after they are pared and cored, very small.

  • The French Migrant and French Gastronomy in London (Nineteenth to Twenty-First Centuries)
    A Migrant Culture on Display: The French Migrant and French Gastronomy in London (Nineteenth to Twenty-First Centuries) Debra Kelly Oh, Madame Prunier, you give us fishes which we wouldn’t dream of eating anywhere; you call them by a funny French name, and we all adore them! (Prunier 2011, x–xi) Que se passe-t-il dans une assiette? Que retrouve-t-on qui exprime des idées, fasse sens et permette un message? Quelle est la nature de cette matière à réflexion? Quelle emblématique pour l’empire des signes culinaires? (Onfray 156)1 French Food Migrates to London: The French Migrant and London Food Culture2 In his social history of ‘eating out’ in England from the mid-nineteenth century to the turn of the twenty-first, John Burnett discusses thediffusion 1 Translation: ‘What happens on a plate? What is found there which may express ideas, make meaning, formulate a message? What is the nature of this material for reflection? How can the empire of culinary signs be symbolised’? The philosopher Michel Onfray is making explicit reference to Barthes’s L’Empire des signes (1970), and implicit reference to Barthes’s methods of analysing cultural myths, their construction and circulation. These methods also underlie the approach taken in this article to representation and meaning. 2 This article explores some of the preliminary research for a larger project which uses French cuisine as the lens through which to analyse the French (and Francophone) experience in the British capital, historically and in the contemporary city: ‘being’ French in London. It considers French culinary knowledge and practice at work in the city as a material form of identity, of culture and of cultural capital and examines its place in London’s constantly evolving culinary landscape: ‘eating’ French in London.

  • Cooking up a Nation
    COOKING UP A NATION COOKING UP A NATION: PERCEPTIONS OF ENGLISH COOKERY, 1830-1930 BY LAUREN GOLDSTEIN, B.A. (Hons.), M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Lauren Goldstein, May 2015 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: Cooking Up A Nation: Perceptions of English Cookery, 1830-1930 AUTHOR: Lauren Goldstein, B.A. (Hons.) (Queen’s University), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor S. Heathorn NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 268 ii Lay Abstract This dissertation explores the origin of the idea that English food is inherently “bad” and demonstrates that this perception developed in the mid-nineteenth century. It uses cookbooks and newspaper articles to examine the connections between “bad” cookery and gender, national identity, and nostalgia. The combination of new technologies and changes in food transportation, new evidence of food adulteration, and emerging Victorian values led to the development of a negative perception of English cookery. Increasing imports through advances in shipping, refrigeration, and canning decreased the production of English goods at home. The emphasis on being economical, efficient, and clean meant that traditional English dishes such as roast beef and plum pudding were no longer celebrated, but instead, considered wasteful and monotonous. The adaptation and absorption of new imported ingredients and dishes into English cookbooks created a cosmopolitan cookery by the twentieth century, but, at the same time, deepened confusion over what an English food identity was. iii Abstract This dissertation explores the origin of the idea that English food is inherently “bad” and demonstrates that this perception developed in the mid-nineteenth century.

IVAN DAY Thy White Wine, Sugar, Milk, to-gether Club To make that gentle Viand Syllabub William King 1704 To attempt a serious essay on such a bubbly subject as syllabub could well be a con- tradiction in terms, since the OED gives an alternative definition of the word, as “something insubstantial and frothy: esp. floridly vapid discourse or writing”. John Wesley had this usage in mind in 1768 when he likened English literature “to whipped syllabub” when compared with the loftier works of the Greeks and Romans.1 At a risk then, of writing syllabub about syllabub, I hope the notes below will clarify some of the problems encountered in modern attempts at recreating these frothy drinks or aereated curds, so popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. King’s couplet outlines the classic ingredients of what is surely the most Arcadian of all English summer refreshments, but gives no indication of how these elements were combined.2 In actuality, a range of methods were used to produce syllabubs of quite different character and a careful comparison of early recipes reveals an extraordinary willingness on the part of housewives and their maids to experiment with new and sometimes suprising techniques. The following is an attempt to classify these meth- ods. 1. Syllabubs direct from the cow Williams (PPC 52) is right to be sceptical about this approach.
