  • To CABINET of CURIOSITIES QUIZ No. 2 Talking Turkey (And Hares…)
    ANSWER (and more) to CABINET OF CURIOSITIES QUIZ No. 2 Talking Turkey (and hares…) b) ‘To roast a turkey the genteel way’ was first published in 1747 in ‘The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy’, by Hannah Glasse The recipe, one of twelve for cooking, saucing and presenting turkey, appeared in ‘The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy’, a work for which Hannah Glasse made bold claims: I believe I have attempted a Branch of Cookery which Nobody has yet thought worth their while to write upon: but as I have both seen, and found by Experience that the Generality of Servants are greatly wanting in that Point, therefore I have taken upon me to instruct them in the best Manner I am capable; and I dare say, that every Servant who can but read will be capable of making a tolerable good Cook, and those who have the least Notion of Cookery can’t miss of being very good ones. That wasn’t all: she found extravagance intolerable, especially when she suspected it amongst fashionable French cooks whom she accuses of cheating their English employers by the over-lavish use of expensive ingredients: So much is the blind Folly of this Age, that they would rather be impos’d on by a French Booby, than give Encouragement to a good English Cook! This collection of recipes enjoyed continuous and extraordinary popularity and was still being republished well into the 19th century, although editions after 1858 include material by other authors. As for Hannah Glasse, she is credited with having instructed in one of her recipes: ‘First catch your hare…’ but did she? Myth-busting: did she really say ‘First catch your hare? Nowhere in her recipes does Hannah Glasse use the phrase ‘First catch your hare…’ but it gained ground quickly, was repeated frequently, especially in the 19th century, and persists, sometimes applied to other creatures and other recipes.

The human body, materially considered, is a beautiful piece of mechanism, consisting of many parts, each one being the centre of a system, and performing its own vital function irrespectively of the others, and yet dependent for its vitality upon the harmony and health of the whole ...the mouth secretes saliva, to soften and macerate the food; the liver forms its bile, to separate the nutriment from the digested aliment ...the veins, equally busy, are carrying away the debris´ and refuse collected from where the zoophyte arteries are building, – this refuse, in its turn, being conveyed to the liver, there to be converted into bile. —Isabella Beeton, The Book of Household Management (1861) There were long seats of stone within the chimney, where, in despite of the tremendous heat, monarchs were sometimes said to have taken their station, and amused themselves with broiling the umbles,or dowsels, of the deer, upon the glowing embers, with their own royal hands, when happy the courtier who was invited to taste the royal cookery.

    UGC Approval No:40934 CASS-ISSN:2581-6403 HEB Food, Asia and The Empire: A Brief Journey of The Humble 'curry' CASS Elizabeth Varkey M. Phil Research Scholar, Delhi University Address for Correspondence: [email protected] : This paper seeks to chart the journey of 'curry' from the colony to the Empire and back. This journey has been a circuitous one and in the process, the term 'curry' has grown to encompass a wide variety of dishes that incorporate the use of certain spices. While on this journey, it has constantly evolved, adapted, and integrated itself with local eating preferences and cooking styles. The ubiquitous presence of curries on restaurant menus in Asia, Britain, and across the globe testifies how far this dish of contested origins has travelled. This paper argues that the journey of 'curry' illustrates the flow of goods and cultural practices between the 'colony' and the 'metropole' and even beyond. Depending on the local availability of condiments and spices and the differing taste buds of its connoisseurs in different parts of the globe, 'curry' has time and again, successfully reinvented itself. Keywords: 'curry', 'Empire', 'colony', 'culinary', 'cookbooks', 'culture' Introduction The origin and definition of the term 'curry' is elusive, debatable and controversial but its popularity, worldwide remains unchallenged today. The ubiquitous presence of curries not just on restaurant menus in the Indian subcontinent, in Asia, and Britain, but across the globe from “Newfoundland to the Antarctic, from Beijing to Warsaw” (Sen 7) testifies how far this dish of contested origins has travelled. While on this journey it has constantly evolved, adapted, and integrated itself with local eating preferences and cooking styles.

    Opossum Hot Pot: Cooking at the Margins in Colonial New Zealand Lydia Wevers Fig. 1: “Open Hearth Cooking,” Kent Plantation House, photograph B. Hathorn, Wikimedia Commons When Mina Murray takes her friend Lucy Westenra for a long walk to tire her out in the– forlorn–hope of preventing her sleepwalking in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, they finish with a “capital ‘severe tea’ at Robin Hood’s Bay in a sweet little old-fashioned inn . I believe we should have shocked the ‘New Woman’ with our appetites,” the conservative heroine Mina remarks (85). Famous for her appetites, the New Woman represented everything nice girls should not be: sexually active, even, as Mina notes, to the point of doing the proposing herself; intellectually and politically assertive; and hungry. As Joan Jacobs Brumberg pointed out in 1988, the appetite is a voice, and may constitute a form of rhetorical behaviour. Rhetorical behaviour is not easily separated from appetites and bodies in any discourse, and in the nineteenth century many factors were at play in discourses of food. The powerful roles of class and gender are perhaps never as strongly marked as in domestic and culinary spaces, and both the industrial revolution and British imperialism are materialised in discourses of food and domestic work. As London modernised and industrialised in the 1850s, the class divide between those who prepared food and those who ate it hardened. Andrea Bloomfield and Judith Flanders, among others, have described the differences made by improvements in food transport, storage and cooking. For example, as the closed iron range became more affordable in the second half of the century, the preparation of food was consigned to the servants and their employers practised culinary ignorance and refined consumption.

During the Victorian and Edwardian periods society was underpinned by rigid moral and social values; with ideal forms of masculine and feminine behaviour. Moral respectability and domesticity were important ideologies of feminine behaviour. The ‘woman’s mission’ was that of supportive wife, dutiful daughter, and caring mother, and the woman’s domestic role was seen as an important and pivotal part of society. It was especially important that mothers should teach their children the values of Christian morality, which formed the foundation of society. For men society dictated they take the authoritative role as head of the household. The public sphere of society was controlled by male authority, with very little room for women. In Part 5 of Women and Victorian Values we concentrate on the writings of sixteen Victorian authors from Sarah Adams to Charlotte Yonge.
