When Victoria heard that Dizzy was dying she dispatched a minister to Hughenden.He asked Dizzy if he would like Victoria to visit? "No said Dizzy,she would only ask me to take a message to Albert!"
Did that really happen
@@evalevy2909 According to his private secretary,he really said this.I have it on good authority from the secretary's great grandson ( a friend of ours)
This couple is wonderful, they make a joyful, informative tv series, really lovely, can't have enough of them
Queen Victoria was such a loyal friend and to me, the way honored him was a testament to this. That endears me to her. Always has.
I love learning about Queen Victoria. These videos are fantastic and they help kill time when I'm bored at work.
Mrs. Crocombe did the same decoration for a cake she made i think it's called fromage de pommes
I believe it was called Gâteau de pomme :)
I love Mrs Crocombe!
“Billy Connelly.” Excellent! 😄
I always find the recipes so fascinating. And of course the brilliant antiques! Who wouldn't want to visit!
Okay, now I want to give my cousins an earful. I knew my grandmother's sifters were old, I just didn't know how old. They chucked them.
I keep on waiting for this. I watched all of your royal upstairs downstairs episode or documentary (whatever the proper name for this😅😅😂😂) and thank God you uploaded new one. God bless those who's behind this.
Peace and love ❤️
Yes! I have been waiting for the new one! I’ll be sad when the shows over!
My grandmother had an old style flour shifter similar to the one they used. Worked great and fun to use.
I STILL use a flour sifter just like this one today! I love it.
That's the only kind of flour sieve I've ever owned, lol.
I love this show I look forward to every you upload, great energy and such passion from the hosts 👍👍👍
I think giving someone a gift of a sculpture of YOUR favorite person and animals is weird. Imagine giving one of your friends a retirement gift of a portrait of a different friend.
Jane Ridley is terrific: I highly recommend her massive biography of Edward VII.
That house is NOT IMPOSING?? Indeed. What a quaint little cottage
I've really enjoyed this series. There is something in this episode that confuses me. The "Victorian Flour Sieve". It's just a regular sifter. It's the style I grew up with and have multiples of in my cabinets. Why would it be seen as something special, when they've been in production for so long? Are they no longer used in the UK?
Yes I ditto everything you wrote!
My mom had one when I was a kid growing up in the 80s, hers was probably from the mid to late 70s. Not a forgotten piece of equipment. They still make them to this day.
Exactly. Everyone in my family has one of these in their kitchen. Maybe they've moved on to using something else in the UK.
I still use my mother's and Grandmother's sieve. Had no clue that they aren't still being used.
Totally still in use! Very strange that Rosemary hasn't seen one before!
It's a wonder that Tim didn't sniff the chair in Disraeli's office!!😂
The house looks pretty imposing to me! Lol!
So very interesting! Thank you!!
Absolutely wonderful video
My mum and mother-in-law were English......very English. For Christmas one year we had three desserts. Trifle, rum pudding and rum 18 egg pound cake. Needless to say, we were very tipsy that evening. Good memories.
She's a chef and she's never seen a flour sifter?
I made the savoy cake, really enjoyed it, will definitely make it again and again!!
My favorite show!
are flour sifters not a normal think in the UK?? my grandma, my mom, myself, my mother in law all use(d) them here in the US.
...answer our sifter inquiry's 😡 -ok just kiddin' love both of these Brits ❤️
I was wondering about that, too...in the States that sort of sifter is still pretty common.
I am loving this series, just wonderful
My grandma had a sieve just like that one! It's probably still in her cabinet. I can remember her using it when I was little.
These are all so charming!
Wow. Creepy, but wow. We had a sieve like that when I was in high school. I have no idea why, because my mom didn't bake-- the oven only got used to roast meat!-- but we had the sieve and the only difference was ours had a round red knob. It's like pastry cutters: no one has or uses them any more, as good as they were at their jobs. Um, that would have been the late 1980's. We had a pastry cutter, too, but I don't know if it was ever used for anything. I was the person most likely to cook or bake, and I never found a use for the pastry cutter. I didn't bother with pies or cakes, I never cared too much for sweets. Mostly it just got in the way when putting away cooking utensils after washing dishes.
We have one of those sieves that’s been passed down in our family. I think my great-grandma got it right before the Dust Bowl. I use it a lot, though, lol. Interesting that Rosemary’s never seen one, since I still see them in stores here in the States.
@@caittails I also live in the USA, I just never pay attention to anything in kitchen gadgets unless I am looking for something specific. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if they also carry them on Amazon. You just wouldn't find them if you aren't looking.
Lovely program soooooooooooooooooo wellllllllll done! I love England xxx
I’m gonna miss this show! 😭
Does anybody know the mystery of this very ordinary "Flour Sieve?" I just used mine, crank and all, just this morning, although I have never used it to sift the flour directly into the mixture. What was she so amazed about?
I have one! I hardly use it though.
Bit odd that they’re having a tipsy cake after discussing the tragic death of Queen Victoria’s friend lol
5:58 "I've just greased the mooooooooould."
Love this series, hosts, and recipe ideas!!! ❤️
You can still buy those flour sifters! You have to do a little searching but I have one, so I know they’re still available, I just don’t remember where I got it. You can still buy the balloon whisk almost anywhere.
You can get those sifters at Walmart or Target.
"Israeli kinda sad" I needed that little dry chuckle
Ok now to hunt down a cake tin like this one and make this cake asap. Might have to raid my mother and grandmother's house I'm pretty sure I saw a cake tin similar at least in use as a child and they never throw anything away lol.
You can find them on Etsy
yep the sifter is a regular one to me to
she was 58 she looks really old . love this series
ummm my mother had a flour sifter like that all through the 1900s and I still have one.
The food in this series looks so delicious but being serious if I had a bite of that Tipsy Cake, I would be drunk in possibly like a minute cuz I can't handle my alcohol that's why I only drink on vacations and special occasions! XD
Can anyone tell me what you use to sift your flour if not what they used here?
In England we use a sieve with a round metal sieve ( a bit like like a bowl shape) with a metal handle.
@@claire76leach I wonder why the change? I used the round sieve in culinary arts but the crank at home. 😂
What did they do with the kitchen? Can you imagine that a home like this is not very impressive?
It was demolished in the early 1900s.
@@claudiahayes8833 do you know why?
@@comet1227 it was so his nephew Coningsby, who inherited the house, could build his own quarters to live in without disturbing the history of Disraeli’s house
@@claudiahayes8833 wow, that was really a quite thoughtful thing to do!
@@comet1227 even if with the best intentions it is still a shame that they aren’t there
I'm just amazed as an American that we never learned of Queen Victoria.
Huh?
These properties are out of this world
The cake looks like A Thai Buddhist temple lol
10:10 sound like the actor from peep show and the crown 👑
It also sounds to me like Disraeli meant more to Victoria than she did to him
Interesting how the flour siv didn’t take off in the UK but is commonplace in America to this day.
🙏🙏
Please, what is the name of that first classic melody in this episode?
The one that starts at 1:25?
@@comet1227 possibly though I hadn’t measured
I do know it is the only prominent melody on the episode
Thank you for any insight?
@@robertnahal4605 click on the blue 1:25 in my post.
The music which begins at 8:14 is the one I refer to as that of which I wish so to know the name, if anybody has the keen ear to recognize. Thank you kindly.
My mother had a sieve just like that
yaasiin aburaas
if i ever come to England i want to taste a English cake.
What a wonderful- peek into the queens food and beds she and her hubby slept -in...yummy!
How much does maintaining these mansions and castles cost the British people? A bit frivolous wouldn’t you say?
🙏🇬🇧🙏

Have you ever made tipsy pudding? Lots of booze and fruit so yummy
Surprised there's no mention of "Jingoism" and the Russo-Turkish War.
We don't want to fight,
but, by Jingo, if we do,
we've got the guns, we've got the ships,
we've got the money, too
Seems like Victoria was a little sweet on Dizzy...
Her Mage, is quite hefty!!!!
”Victoria Sponge” It's Victoria sandwich last time I checked.
I've heard both.
Technically, sponge refers to the cake portion. Sandwich refers to the finished cake with cream and jam.
Did…did he really just use the term “Jewess”? That’s a slur and we don’t use it anymore.
Believe it or not, it was still often used in Australia up until recently, and possibly still in some places! My mother HATES being referred to as "the Jewess from America" when visiting friends down under, lol!
Who are the miserable blokes who down-voted this video?
🥱
THANK YOU ( CZcams
The house looks pretty imposing to me! Lol!
