      Dunno much about aspic, but these programmes seem to make a bloody big deal out of it, sounds to me like gelatin. Savoury gelatin after consulting Wikipedia. Seems to me those eggs were overcooked to buggery, I like my yokes runny, bloody delicious, can't improve on nature. As for Foie gras I don't want to know, too brutal. Same reason I don't eat lobsters, too cruel. Lobsters are immortal, and us bunch of psychotic apes capture them, keep them in a filthy tank, then boil them alive. Fuck off.

      @Stella H sodium chloride was a common preservative, in which humans were in symbiosis until they discovered it does more harm than good. But for a dish like this the stuffed goose livers would have been salted if for no other reason than antibacterial. Whether the foie gras was later cooked with a potato to make sure it was sterile is another question which I think quite likely: boiling became a traditional safety measure for hygiene. So a skilled cook would have been able to season any number of potatoes to absorb the NaCl table salt used to preserve the expensive filling. But, who knows, maybe they were stuffing geese on the premises back then, anything is possible.

      @Dan Gurău The age of consent was 12 at the time Queen Victoria was 16. Does that put it into perspective?
      In fact, the age of consent was only raised to 16 around 1885. I'm not advocating for sexual relations with minors.
      I am only asking that we not use the standards of todays societal norms to judge and understand the societal norms of 1853. It was a different culture, with different expectations, and more rigid gender roles.
      Take the musical "Gigi", which arguably has not aged well:
      It includes the song "thank heaven for little girls". The main plot line (IMHO) is a 16 year old girl around 1900 must choose between a man around her age that she loves but who has not much wealth, and a wealthy 33(?) year old friend of her dad's---who is basically an uncle to her.
      In the end she chooses to marry the 33 year old slimey "uncle" who has money and can provide a stable, comfortable, future for her.
      And while it pisses me off that she didn't choose love over practicality, I don't honestly blame her character due to the culture she came out of at the time.
      Marriage wasn't just out of love. That's largely a modern concept. It was out of practically, social status, and to form alliances.

      They would get shot because the upper class would think them weirdos for not loving the very crowded rooms and decor that the upper class had and the lower classes would wish to imitate. Someone going against the norm by having a very minimalist interior would not make any sense to them and they would probably be considered asylum material.

      Back then it was less about what individual people wanted and more about what the fashion signified. In the Victorian period, the industrial revolution made it so that regular people could afford to buy items to decorate their house, whereas before they would have had very little, thus causing them to want to show off as many of their possessions as possible.

    Rossini was Victorian era pop music. Got it. Her parents must have hated the noise.

    I am an historian just as my father was. It always amazes me how historians speak as though they are the people they are speaking of!
