Posset. A drink made with milk, alcohol & spices. Warmed on the fire & poured out to make a froth.
Sounds okay, until you see that the milk curdles, i.e. goes into blobby bits...1/2

Today's recipe is a "fruitarian" Christmas pudding, i.e. suet free. So, vegetarian then... unless breadcrumbs are fruit.
Without suet, the pudding has to be made and eaten fresh

A menu from Elizabeth Moxon's English Housewifery, 1800. The oldest original cookbook we own
Turkey one side of the table & beef the other. Pudding on the table at the same time. Mince pies were part of the first course

All of the recipes are for Christmas cake or Christmas pudding.
I love finding books with things in. Unless it's crumbs or squashed bugs, or something.
And, Atora are still the main brand of suet on the market 👍 3/3

The cuttings appear to be post war, but still within rationing. So that's 1945-1954
Trouble in the Balkans & the death of golfer James Braid help us to narrow it down to around 1950. Probably a paper local to Middlesex 2/3

I got this gorgeous copy of Mrs Beeton's Everyday Cookery (1893) for a bargain price. Mainly, because it's falling apart and unusable. What tempted me were the newspaper cuttings and handwritten recipes tucked inside 1/3

On the day itself, keep the other meals simple. You don't want to overeat beforehand, or overwork those slacking servants.

Next, table decorations. Some glass knick-knacks, floating candles, & folded napkins should do the trick. Try these, in the shape of a slipper, and a...um...er... BOAR'S HEAD. Yes. 😳

...And if 4 courses of protein and puddings weren't enough, there's still unspecified 'desserts and ices' to follow.
The "plain family dinner" seems more manageable. Plus, you get to have roast turkey & sausages instead of boiled with celery sauce 👍

But what constitutes "good" mincemeat? Maybe this recipe, filled with nutritious ox tongue?
Or "superlative mincemeat" where you can leave the meat out, or substitute it with crushed macaroons?
I know which I'm choosing, and it's not tongue 🤢
