- Chef Rosemary Shrager and antiques expert Tim Wonnacott visit Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire revealing just what happened when Queen Victoria visited the Leigh family in 1858. Victoria was 39 years old and had been queen for 21 years. She was with Albert but without any of her nine children. The royal train took her from London to Coventry, then she travelled on to Stoneleigh by horse and carriage for this three-day visit.
An extraordinary journal, kept by the sister of the host, provides a detailed and funny insight into the visit, which included a huge banquet. Tim tells how the family coped when they realised they didn't have a dining room that was big enough and, from Victoria's own diary, the queen's reaction to the room that was used.

I love the chef's excitement. It's adorable
Wow that pudding sounds delicious: chocolate pudding with lemon creme filling on a bed of pistachios? Yup! Despite the fish bladder, it still sounds amazing!
Fish swim bladder is no worse than the hooves and bones to make gelatin. And that pudding sounds amazing. I'd eat the strawberries too. This visit seems more materially difficult and socially tense. Must have been fun LMAO
Skip to 11:40 if you just came to see how the pudding was made!
And at 23:20
This series is the best
It’s a shame that the original Victorian kitchens don’t exist anymore😔
This series has been retitled and reposted like crazy. I'm always disappointed when I see a new one only to find out it's only been renamed. I think I've seen them all now. It took some doing.
11:22, well the queen will most certainly see that crack in the ceiling at her angle.
yay another episode! this series makes me so happy
You know it didn’t strike me until you said they had no refrigeration. That means almost all that prep work had to be done day of. Think how many jobs were lost just because of refrigeration. Wow. Also I heard that the Royals didn’t pay fr anything. So some families went into debt on these visits. It’s not like you can say no.
Correct. Can you imagine mortgaging your life just to feed a probably ungrateful monarch?
Yup... that was tradition. It was both an honor and a terrible burden to host a king
Yyyyyyyyyyy_
Is there anything our beautiful one doesn’t find “delicious”…. 👼
Love all the videos…
use a spoon for tasting
They do love their royals don't they !
Unfathomanly, yes
Yes, we do!
🙋👍 Greetings grom Poland.
I guess I'm confused as to why they were so surprised to see they used pistachios and then he was extra shocked at the liquer flavoring made from cherries. Why is this shocking?
Regarding the pistachios, I'd say they were amazed at the cash they shelled out for them! I must say, I was jealous that they could just buy two pounds in one go - I haven't bought pistachios in YEARS, and boy do I miss them😭.
(I don't know why the liqueur was surprising though, I'd imagine that liqueur has been a thing since the dawn of alcohol??)
I think he was more surprised that he was able to find a record of the purchase of the ingredients. Sugar/butter/milk could have been used for anything, but he knows the pistachios and liqueur were used for that exact dish, so he could trace it from the recipe right down to the supplier.
I think they are also big nerds and get overly excited by pretty much anything tangentially related to Victoria...
And where do we find the recipe? I'd love to try it myself.
everyone: sturgeon bladder for gelatin?! *disturbed noises*
me: well...agar is made of seaweed so it's more or less the same?
Isinglass is made from the swim bladders of fish. The swim bladder gives buoyancy to the fish.
I doubt that most people would know that fish have swim bladders or how the fish creates their buoyancy 🐟😉
I try to dive in the pool and invariably my tuckus starts to float up. I feel like that is my swim bladder.
This is the most British video I have ever watched
Yum!
I love these videos! I do feel conflicted that those upstairs had zero clue what those downstairs were going through to please them. I know it was the culture. Now though. :) Love to learn more around how they moved through life, but also glad culture has evolved to not be as hard core around "classes".
We're as class-bound as they were. We just try to hide it.
@@Elleoaqua Yeah, it's off the books now, but very much practised!
Victoria did like her alcohol. She started every day with a drink. She was also known to use laudanum, opium and marijuana. She isn't known to over do it though.
The pudding will set you free....
Mmmmm I want some pudding now.
I finally went to the store and got some today lmao
I thought this was gonna be The Victorian Way with Mrs. Crocombe 🥺
Haha, me, too! But I am only a little disappointed as I like this series as well (even though I just realized that I have watched this episode before ...)
That's on the English Heritage channel.
@@sharonharris9782 I’m quite aware of that.
27:37 is the most Amazing part of the Entire video ! Now I'm Finally impressed. To see her pressed Flowers is the BIGGEST and only satisfying treat for me from the Entire video !
The REST I'm not impressed with lol. But nice video all in all. Thanks
So I know the origins of the first kings were french, but the fact that the menus were still in french in the 1850s is incredible!!!
they still are today at Buckingham Palace
They dinned after 8. Thats a later meal
And with a zillion courses, when did you ever leave the table? They said she walked around after dinner - what time would that have been? Midnight?? And all those people stood outside waiting for her until that time, haha.
UGh these are all repeats, I thought a new season had started...
This is great only if you are subservient.
To me this would be a hoighty toighty house. I'm glad I was never the super rich. My life has been very adverse at times but a very interesting life story none the less. Life strengthens you to be who you are.
TLDW; lead
I'm very entertained by the way the posh accent of the narrator makes the word "Hall" sound like a woman of loose morals and ill-repute.
I don’t think pudding means what you think it means…
It means dessert.
@@N_0968 from Princess Bride (1987), “you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Inigo to Vizzini. Because pudding in America means colloidal dessert of various flavorings, generally cornstarch & sugar, maybe eggs & milk.
Have fun storming the castle boys!!!
Pudding actually means minced meats, like what we would call sausage.
@@CreatingwithWinglessAngel No, in Uk it means dessert. I don’t know what weird things it means in other places. And the program is about an English monarch and the presenters call things the way they’re called over here.
and how many poor, homeless and hungry were there at the time? This waste of money is nothing less than obscene really. For a weekend visit! Good grief.
Understandable to feel that way nowadays - however, in the days of royalty, it would have been an investment for your region, I think? You'd become a recognised place of influence if everyone knew that the monarch had enjoyed a stay there, and income would increase overall. So possibly not such a waste.
Well "Pew Pew"🤪🤪🤪🤮🤮🤮🤭
Lemon and chocolate? yuck. All of these Victorian dishes seem awful to me lol.
Lemon and chocolate go well together but you have to make sure one doesn't overpower the other.
I have heard of orange and chocolate (which I don’t much care for), but I am having a hard time imagining what lemon and chocolate would be like. I can’t imagine the two going together, but I guess if one citrus goes with it, the others could as well. Maybe it’s a British thing? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
That fish bladder thing would be a hard pass though. Lol
@@nolaray1062 Could be. But I'm from the USA. Maybe my tastes buds are odd. I also put lemon icing on banana cake.
@@TherealDanielleNelson I’m from the US as well (New Orleans). I might have to give it a try! (As long as there’s no fish bladder. 🤣)
@@nolaray1062 No thank you to the fish bladder. They just reminds me of the little house books where Mary and Laura played with the pig bladder.
Rosemary is so informative but she walks like a noble British bovine.🤣🤣🤣
No dr suzana = no watch
Sorry u can't handle narrators who aren't blonde bombshells
What a lot of outrageously expensive fuss and bollocks over a visit by someone no better than anyone else, except for the mass delusion that she was God's choice to rule the British Empire.
Well that's how head of state's visits turn out, whether in monarchies or republics
I'm fairly certain that a modern head of state would expect people to take as much trouble when they visit. It is probably considerably more expensive these days as well, security and so on.
