L O NOON: RICHARD BENTLEY, NEW BURLINGTON STREET, UubliSljrr in <©rtunary to fetr iflairStp. 1845. a PREFACE. The favour with which her first effort of author- ship* was received, leads the writer of these volumes to hope that another work on the same principle — that of raising a superstructure of amusement on the firm basis of history and truth —may not be unwelcome to those who seek to beguile their leisure hours with something more substantial than fiction. In this hope these pages have been produced : her materials have been carefully and studiously collated, and the authoress has rejected many an ornamental allusion, and many a beguiling hypo- thesis, which appeared to be unsustained in history. * The “ Art of Needlework.” Edited by the Right Hon. the Countess of Wilton.

GARDENS, GARDENERS AND GARDENING IN ENGLAND AND WALES, c. 1560-1660 by JILL FRANCIS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis sets out to investigate gardens, gardeners and gardening practices in early modern England, from the mid-sixteenth century when the first horticultural manuals appeared in the English language dedicated solely to the ‘Arte’ of gardening, spanning the following century to its establishment as a subject worthy of scientific and intellectual debate by the Royal Society and a leisure pursuit worthy of the genteel. The inherently ephemeral nature of the activity of gardening has resulted thus far in this important aspect of cultural life being often overlooked by historians, but detailed examination of the early gardening manuals together with evidence gleaned from contemporary gentry manuscript collections, maps, plans and drawings has provided rare insight into both the practicalities of gardening during this period as well as into the aspirations of the early modern gardener.

  • Christmas Past Recipes
    Christmas Past Recipes Roasting the Christmas baron of beef at Windsor Castle in 1856. HISTORIC FOOD COOKERY COURSES Recipes of dishes made or sampled on The Taste of Christmas Cookery Courses 2009. TO MAKE A HACKIN. From a Gentleman in Cumberland. 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. Then put in some Sugar, and some Spice beaten small, a little Lemon-Peel cut very fine, and a little Salt, and a good quantity of Grots, or whole Oat-meal, steep'd a Night in Milk; then mix thefe all together, and add as many Currans pick'd clean from the Stalks, and rubb'd in a coarfe Cloth ; but let them not be wash'd.

  • The Jesus Banquet Text: Luke 14:12-23, the Parable of the Dinner
    1 The Jesus Banquet Text: Luke 14:12-23, The Parable of the Dinner Party For a few minutes I am going to talk to you about food, or more accurately, the present problem of global hunger. ooOoo In June this year, Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the United Nations made it clear that the “world stands on the brink of a food crisis worse than any seen for at least 50 years”, and “Unless immediate action is taken, it is increasingly clear that there is an impending global food emergency that could have long term effects on hundreds of millions of children and adults.” The Secretary of the United Nations went on to say, “Even in countries with abundant food, we see risks of disruption in the food supply”. Likewise, Maximo Torero, the chief economist of the United Nations‟ Food and Agricultural Organization pointed out recently that „the world‟s food systems are under threat as never before in recent times as the (Covid-19) pandemic and lockdowns have hampered people‟s ability to harvest, buy and sell food. According to recent UN reports, worldwide, harvests are “healthy” and supplies of food, “robust”. Nevertheless, because of the Covid-19 pandemic the global food distribution system is failing. Local markets where most people buy their groceries are now vulnerable to disruptions from lockdowns. 2 Increasing unemployment and the loss of income associated with lockdowns and the price of basic foods are also putting food out of reach for many struggling people. Not only that! Lockdowns are now slowing harvests, millions of seasonal labourers are unable to find work, food waste has reached damaging levels, with farmers forced to dump perishable produce as the result of supply chain problems, and meat industry plants have been forced to close in some countries.

In today’s multicultural society, foreign cultures are emerging, and China, as always, opens up an inclusive mind to live in harmony with other cultures. International business banquets are just like that, because people from different countries eat together and do business together. Business partners eat dinners together in order to foster the successful business transactions, which is called business banquet. Moreover, holding a banquet can easily enhance the feelings of both sides, its social function should not be underestimated. After all, different countries have different customs, and a careless will cause a cross-cultural disaster. The paper mainly takes the business etiquette and the social custom theory in the cross-cultural communication as the guidance, and discusses the essential banquet culture in the business intercourse. In addition, this article analyzes historical origin, development, and the types of banquets between the Chinese and Western, and further point out conflicts and misunderstandings between both parties in seating, tableware, food and etiquette. Finally, relevant method and strategies are put forward. From the perspective of Chinese and Western banquet culture, the author explores the differences and conflicts between them.

  • The Social and Cultural Value of the Apple and the Orchard in Victorian England
    The social and cultural value of the apple and the orchard in Victorian England Joanna Crosby A thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. Department of History University of Essex Date of submission with corrections – January 2021 (Total word count: 79,840) Joanna Crosby January 2021 Abstract This thesis argues that the apple and the orchard were of greater significance to the Victorians than has been previously realised. This thesis brings together an investigation into the economic value of the apple crop and its associated goods and services, with an exploration of how the apple and the orchard were represented and received in cultural and social constructs. This thesis argues that the economic worth of the apple was greater than the commodity value of the raw crop of apples. That value itself has been underestimated due to the difficulties of calculating the amount of land used for orchards and the profit obtainable. The apple had a wider economic value, helping to expand the sectors of commercial horticulture, domestic gardening and food. Representations of the apple and of orchards drew on Classical landscapes, Christian allegory or the pre-Christian cultures in Europe to give authority to the meanings of an apple placed in a painting. These associations were brought together in the writing about, and the actual performance of, wassailing in the orchards at Christmas. The conclusions state that the economic value of the apple was greater than had been previously thought, and that the network of apple-related trades and livelihoods was extensive. The conclusions from the social and cultural investigation were that the appreciation of the apple was at its height in Victorian England, when the Victorians responded to increasing industrialisation and urban growth by using the apple symbolically to represent values of ‘Englishness’ through an idealised rural past.
