Mrs Crocombe is making Roly Poly Pudding with bacon, onion and mushrooms. The servants are in for a treat!
INGREDIENTS
200g plain flour
75g suet (vegetarian alternatives are available)
A generous pinch of salt
Cold water
Bacon or ham
1 small onion
Mushrooms
METHOD
Combine the flour, suet, salt and add a small amount of water a little at a time until you form a dough which is supple but not sticky. Set aside in a cool place.
Dice finely the bacon, onion and mushrooms and mix them together.
Roll pastry out with lots of flour. Spread with filling leaving about 1cm at the edges. Seal the pastry at the ends well, and at the long join, with a bit of water
Wrap the pudding in a clean cloth which has been well floured.
Put it in a pan with boiling water and leave it for upwards of 1.5 hours. It is fairly forgiving, and can be left for an extra half an hour or hour without much of an issue.
Leave the pudding to cool, then carefully unwrap it. You can then slice it and eat as is, or fry in lard for extra flavour.

stormbob She didn’t mention how it’s also called “drowned baby pudding” too. 😬
😂😂
my math teacher has the same look just 10x worse
no wonder she is single
Mrs Crocombe does *not* approve calling roly-poly pudding " Dead mans Leg".
She has class!
it is NOT Jeffree Star approved
@@trashbagsmiley1999 Mrs Crocombe *DOES* approve of calling Jefferee Star a roly-poly pudding.
Does mrs. crocombe have any clue who jefferee starr is?!? LOL
Lol i find that look brilliant its exactly the look my grandmother gives in the same situation
Yes Ma’am, I shall call it roly-poly pudding! No Ma’am, I shan’t call it dead-man’s leg! 😂
For the love of God, someone please make a gif of Mrs. Crocombe's disapproving stare so she can ascend to meme-queen status.
Screamin' Icecream Demon For real!! I just took a screenshot and plan to use it for replying to texts. Lol
@@AshMenon quick, put that on Imgur and 9gag so she can become the next best 2019 meme!
@@AshMenon DAMN you are fine
And that approving look when she tasted the puddin!
Yes please
People think they hard but they ain't never called Roly Poly Pudding "Dead Man's Leg" in front of Mrs. Crocombe.
Anton, that look straight up said, “Don’t you dare call it that. Not in MY kitchen!”
"Dead Man's leg", probably from all the Cholesterol in it! Bacon, Suet and Lard! ha... fat makes everything taste so go! Love these videos!
filledwithpeace better than the sugar that unnecessarily fills a lot of foods today lol
Easily the best Mrs. Crocombe comment on this video, possibly ever.
Dead man's leg is so unappetising and I was thinking of it through the rest of the video and watching her eating it.
2:20 Mrs. Crocombe: MARY-ANN..
Mary-Ann: 😳
Mrs. Crocombe: ..has already prepared my ingredients..
Mary-Ann: 😅
Ya I swear Mary-Ann was gonna run in holding a bucketful of half-sliced bacons or whatever she should be done prepping 🤣
My thought exactly xD
" Mrs. Crocombe what did i do?! Please don't hit me agai oh..."
This is my favorite comment 😆😆
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"It doesn't matter how it looks. It's for the servants." love that line
I enjoy your presentations.

And it looks gorgeous anyway.

You know she's making this recipe for herself since she's using the much loathed onion Lord and Lady Braybrooke hate so much
Yes, she says she's making it for the servants.
well it IS associated with the poor
Just for the servants.That stare is divine and alarming.
It Just Works The servants have great taste. I’m so weird that when I was little, I would ask my parents to sauté a bunch of onions and garlic and I would eat that straight out of the pan 🤤😂
Carmen Reeves well, onion and garlic are very good for you!
“We servants like it fried,”
All Americans: SAAAAAAMMMMMEEEE!!
I'm American and I dont like a whole lot of fried things. Cause people come up with weird things. Theres literally fried oreos and butter on a stick and I've heard of fried ice cream. Idk how they manage that but it's done. I like simple things. Like fries and occasionally a hash brown.
@@justlikerunningabicycle3783 Fried ice cream is delicious, and I would recommend trying it if you haven't. In my experience, it's essentially ice cream with a crispy shell
And for convicts ?
We need one for Australia
@The Professor fried ice cream is also a thing in mexico ❤️ im not sure if its in other places tho. Its weirdly good, just a cinnamon fried shell on top that you can crack

Lord and Lady Braybrooke will never know that Mrs Crocombe is TH-cam Queen Of Victorian Cuisine :))
Word!
Careful, now. If you get her hanged for Treason, we'll _never_ get another video!
why am I laughing so hard
i guess it might be coz theyre dead
taza hanum Oh hi Lisa
When she said "MARIANNE had already prepared my filling ingredients..." at 2:21 I jumped, like I was Marianne being caught by Mrs Crocrombe for slicing onions instead of dicing them. And that shade she threw when she emphasized it was Marianne who did the cutting. 😂😂😂
Poor Maryanne.
CyExL 陈盈璇 Cel Tan That! I had the exact same reaction! I kept worrying but the dice and the slice were incorrect.
No shit, I was waiting for Marianne to appear, that's how loud she was :D "Don't blame me, blame MARIANNE" :D
But she didn't throw any shade about Marianne dicing the onion...None at all.
Plus, the onion was diced, not sliced, just normally.
I mended my posture in a split second when she, so strongly, called Marianne 🤣🤣🤣
Please, give this woman finally her own TV-Show!
Seconded

"I've even heard people call it dead man's leg"
*Makes a face that clearly says do not call it dead man's leg*
Well at least that is more acceptable than that traditional dish which has been given the name of Spotted Dick.
Interesting isn't it that Britishers did not bother much about the implications of this word but an American friend of mine pointed it out giggling uncontrollably.
I had to tell him mayhap a trifle haughtily to Grow up which set off another round of hysteria in him, that he belongs to a Juvenile immature nation which is obsessed with inflated and protuberant body parts and other body functions and that is why any sort of innocent word would for him and his equally mentally arrested friend circle would always have double entendre connotations more often obscene than not.
Like any other spoilt brat he got deeply offended- visible sign Donald Duck beak- and is not speaking to me That doesn't bother me much. The only problem is that I cannot eat Spotted Dick anymore.
@@djs9415 You gotta admit a kid running in from playtime, asking "Mummy, are we having spotted dick for tea?" is kind of funny.
"Unless you're in that strumpet Maryanne's kitchen."
@@djs9415 I made Spotted Dick this evening - boiled in a cloth like shown here. It was nice. Just a suet dumpling with raisins.
@@djs9415 Hahaha! I love it!
Dead Man’s leg 👀. The look . . . Priceless! I absolutely adore “Mrs. Crocombe”😍💐💐💐💐
Who else starts to smile as soon as the title melody starts playing? 😄
😁😁😁😁
Me!!!😂😂And it's so relaxing!
Rara Avis I do 👏🏿😂
It's the best
Dos anyone know where I can play it on loop? I want it to be the music I hear when I wake up & start my day ^_^
Who else just watches the videos and never makes the actual food😂
wiktor sydorenko me! I started watching this channel last night
Well yeah ive never had a pidgeon breast in my fridge just sitting there
No one makes it. Like one recipe had truffles. The only one I could maybe make is marmalade water ice.
I made the pancake recipe for my mom since she likes a thinner pancake
binge-watched 6 episodes last night!
"It doesn't matter how it looks, as this is for the servants"
Those servants will just eat ANYTHING! Even ugly food!
Well it makes sure that it tastes good. So who cares about how it looks.
So do I
Ugly but delicious
I mean same tho...
@@RadityaNugraheni2405 'Dated her.

She’s such a QUEEN! Ugh her mind😩❤️ #skinnylegend

SLAY QUEEN WHO IS SHE 😤👏👏😫
alright! i was wondering when Mrs Crocombe would make another video,i will never get tired of these lovely videos it's like i am in a cooking class with her.
Crystal sanchez Mrs Crocombe releases her videos the Victorian way! Slowly but steadily! 😜
Perry Williams indeed. With these videos, I appreciate the quality over the quantity.
Benjamin Edwards you can tell she loves what she does!
She could actually do cooking classes. I would attend.
I never want to be on the receiving end of Mrs. Crocombe’s evil eye. 😁
That's how she keeps the kitchen maids in line
Have you seen how she looked at Edgar when he brought her some apples for gateau des pommes?
Marat Shaydullin i was afraid for him!
kiltlvr Has
😂 i know! I felt guilty and hadn't even done anything. Reminds me of my mother.
"You can fry in butter, or for a really delicious taste, use lard."
As a Mexican, my waist size and I can confirm this!
Nobody:
British people : Boil it
Apparently the reason for that is with wood & coal fired stoves you could never be sure of consistant oven temperature, but if you boiled it, you could, which is why they boiled everything back then, to make sure it was cooked through. Check out the historical cooking show Lords and Ladles, they go into this at length.
wow i did notknow that intresting
@@vickiekostecki thank you I was wondering why everything was boiled back then!
🤣🤣🤣
The actress playing Mrs. Crocombe is a wonderful and amazingly talented woman. I keep for getting that I'm not watching the actual Mrs. Crocombe
#Arynphallia th-cam.com/video/gtuGAKavV0k/w-d-xo.html
*stuff made for the household:* Looks like it might be good, maybe not, may hafta try to see.
*stuff made for staff:* Holy shit that looks delicious please put in my mouth!!!!!!
The stuff made for the staff is hearty and full of butter and stuff you'd throw in a stew, the stuff for the Lord and Lady look like you're not supposed to eat it, it's just for show.
Rachael Brinegar Well some were def made to eat cause I remember in one vid she said she didn’t add, I think, garlic to a dish cause Lady and Lord didn’t like it that way. But ya, definitely meant to be more pretty to the folks over mouth watering delicious.
servant food is hearty and long lasting, and cheap. rich people food takes the man-hours of servants and staff and farmers to make. which can you afford to buy? food, or labour?
which is why the rich still eat like the rich, whilst everyone else eats like the poor
The look after "dead man's leg" is priceless
💀
Some people call it "Dead Man's Leg"...
... which is _fine,_ I suppose, if you don't mind bringing _death_ and _cannibalism_ into a pleasant meal by talking like common drunken _gutter trash._
I actually tried it. My whole familiy loved the recipe! I think it tastes way better if you bake it out in butter, but that depends on you. Just a tip: roll it together tight, otherwise it will fall apart and won't taste as good. Thank you for the videos! ❤💕
Sma J. It’s delicious. I brush it with olive oil and bake it rather than boil and fry. It’s one less step and not as greasy
Thanks for the tip! I can't wait to try this one out! I'll keep the tightly wrapped tip in mind.
The English use the term “pudding” very loosely...
Roly poly puddings are actually most commonly sweet and made with jam. This one just happens to be savoury - I expect it’s because the servants are eating it. Puddings don’t necessarily have to be sweet.
shesmyworlddevastator yeah, there are many varieties.. savory sounds good though
I know it all. I know it all. Huh?? Who said anything about it being recent? It’s a joke..
Yes! Pudding is also dessert or pudding as here.
I hear that, it's more of a stuffed bread than a pudding but then again I'm American so what do I know.... 😂
Watching this took me back 50 years. My mum used to cook this! exactly the same recipe and then sliced & fried in lard. It's not for weight watchers but tastes brilliant. I used to love helping to make the pastry.
DeepThought what is lard???
Mano. tz
It’s rendered belly fat from pork.
That's so sweet
This is it. This is the comment I was looking for. One person who's tried it so that I could cook it. Thank you!!
Mano. tz tenderflake in USA or canada
Our Queen of the Kitchen has returned!
Wewww love me some of that 'dead man's leg' reaction face
You know damn well it was Edgar, who called it "Dead man's leg"
edgar's replacing the last guy who said "dead man's leg" around Mrs. Crocrombe
"I've even heard it called Dead Man's Leg." followed by a lethal dose of S H A D E.
She was so appalled, she couldn’t even make subtle her with disappointment with humanity’s degeneration.
ROFL! I literally had to pause the video I was laughing so hard. Your comment captures the essence of the moment perfectly!
The servant's food seems way better than the Lord and Lady's food sometimes.
Rachel Goddard
For reals. She sends boiled fish and applesauce up to the high table and keeps the delicious meat-on-your-bones stuff downstairs. I’d rather eat with the servants.
@@sarahk2722 Same here! I'd rather be poor than not have onions or garlic.
I remember the delicious soop for the poor🤤
@@sarahk2722 anyone who says boiled fish sucks clearly hasn’t had Chinese fish
Food for Upstairs seems to focus on presentation, delicate flavours, and expensive ingredients - it's for people who have hours to spend eating dinner, want to flaunt their wealth, and don't have to do hard physical work on their feet all day.
Food for the Servants' Hall seems to be primarily filling, flavoursome, and usually suited to being eaten quite quickly (I think they'd have to get back to work fairly promptly, and might be called away if Upstairs wanted them for something).
Most of this is just my speculation, I hasten to add!
Betty Crocker is *QUAKING*
What I wouldn't give for a TV show set in the kitchens of Audley End House with Mrs Crocombe as the protagonist!
It would be a total hit!
Better than any reality show ..
I'd prolly watch a Period british drama staring the Staffs trying to accomodate the lords starring Mrs. Crocombe
Agreed!
Cooking shows tend to have hosts, not protagonists.
This may be my favorite English Heritage video, the acting is so fluid, from the “caught me having 5 minutes” to the “dead man’s leg” bit.
Mrs. Crocombe: “I’ve even heard it called a dead Man’s Leg.”
Mrs. Crocombe: “👀”
Me: ‘Dead Man’s Leg’ shall henceforth be stricken from the lexicon of the United Kingdom when referencing Roly Poly Pudding (with the only acceptable alternative being Shirt Sleeve Pudding). You have been warned FOR THE LAST TIME..... this has been a message from a concerned American.
Dead Whose WHAT?
I heard NOTHING for the 15 seconds preceding a terrifying hypnotic stare 👀
😂😂
Been cackling over that "Dead man's leg" stare of disapproval for days XD
Spect8orSpecter riiiiight I screamed literally I wasn’t expecting that.
Same! I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard!
Thank you, Mrs. Crocombe, for another delicious recipe. I love your expressions..and how we call in the modern era "throwing shade" at the vulgar name of Dead Man's Leg to describe this delicious savoury pudding. Cheers!
Queen of throwing shade
you know I can think of worse names. Considering there's a pudding called spotted dick...
“ *MARYANNE* “
_“Has already prepared my ingredients”_
See a Mrs. C. video is available. Hit like. Pause and get cup of coffee to settle in for this treat.
Was not disappointed! I loved the slightly disapproving look she gave after she allowed that some people called the wrapped, pre-boiled poly ‘dead man’s leg.’
I might opt for a puff pastry version, baked crispy brown.
I think a puff pastry version would be very good. I would also probably add a little cheese to it, but then I love cheese.
Theresa Novak
I thought the same - until the frying part 🤩
but then it wouldn't be called a pudding, at least not the traditional boiled type pudding made in that era
@@gracefuller9554 Very true. The whole point of the "pudding " process is to make it, wrap it up, and set it to boil on the back of a range for an hour or two. Sort of a "set it, and forget it" form of cooking that allows you to make something good, while freeing you up to do other things in the kitchen without worrying about ruining the dish. Baking, especially back then, is a trickier process, and you could easily burn something if you don't keep an eye on it.
"It doesn't matter how it looks, as this is for the servants." Dammit Mrs. Crocombe, this is why we can't have nice things!
When cooking for servants, your efforts are better spent on the taste than the looks of the food.
I'm sure it's like comfort food for the folks below stairs...
I could literally sit and watch her all day! She’s the most precious lady! I would give anything for her to have her own television show. Makes me feel so warm and happy! 🥰🥰🥰
My Victorian babe is back! 💖
I've been waiting for a new one of these for sometime, you've been terribly missed Mrs Crocombe! I am happy for your return to us, as i believe many of us are.
One of my favorite stories as a kid was Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Samuel Whiskers a.k.a The Roly-Poly Pudding, so when I saw the title of the video i was so excited!
Such a simple and hearty recipe, I really want to try making it!
Oh my goodness YES! I remember that story! My grandma would read it to me when I was a little girl! :D
My five year old asks for that book regularly. A kitten is kidnapped and almost gets baked into a pudding, but she LOVES it.
@@aimeelee76 i think its just funny in an absurd way that really appeals to kids. I think from now on I'll refer to being wrapped up in a blanket as being a rolly polly pudding instead of a blanket burrito.
I have to steal this. My five year old will love it!
Omg same!
mrs crocrombe: “and then a good pinch of salt”
also her: *takes a handful of salt*
generous pinch of salt 🤣
That is a pinch of salt. As much salt as you can hold between thumb, middle, and index fingers.
Straight up the servants foods looks so much better! Fried bacon and mushrooms in bread....uh yes please! I'll be a scullery maid 🙋🙋🙋
Right! I knew i wasnt the only one thinking the servants food looked way better. But then again im not exactly upperclass so in Victorian era id most likely be eating the same meals 🤣😭😭
Foogazi Witch the servants ate onion and garlic. Things Lord and Lady Braybrook despised that actually make foods taste better
@@AKayfabe True, and the servants were probably healthier than Lord and Lady were, since foods like onion and garlic are very good for you.
@@AKayfabe I despise onions and ginger lol I love garlic though 😂
It's not bread, it's pastry. I agree though, it does look and probably is tasty.
My first ever roly-poly was eaten fresh from the boiler, ugh. My Auntie fried the leftovers next morning oh my! What a difference. So much better fried.
Boiled pastry dough. Why would anyone eat that?
@@l0new0lf000 Thats what i've been saying lmao when she unwrapped it i swear that bacon was still raw

VICTORIAN SHADE
*un-der-ra-ted*
comment.
4:15 “But *not* in *this* kitchen.” 🤣🤣🤣
More like "Cardiac Arrest Pudding " but it does look tasty.
If we're being historically correct, remember the servants worked very hard labor jobs. So, the amount of calories with this meal, even if it's the only meal they had that entire day would be suffice to give them energy for their work day. If this were made in modern day, you'd be totally correct.
Its a savory pudding in the victorian era.... Its not meant to be lean or vegan
It's much more possible "a cardiac arrest" using veggie oil (except olive oil) than lard or butter. Both fats are rich in vitamins, especially E and B12.
The problem with Victorian (and modern) diets is SUGAR.
@@joaoignacio1978 🤔Interesting....thank you!❤
Amatsu Kami Mikaboshi
Lean food is for people who don’t do manual labour.
the behavior mrs crocombe exhibited was iconic. the legend jumped out
That is fortifying food for the staff who do backbreaking work for 14-16 hours a day.
Something heartwarming about Mrs Crocombe preparing a dish she has fond childhood memories of.
이 시리즈 너무 많이 봐서 매리 앤 씨랑 내적 친분 생겨벌임... 이제 길 가다가 누가 매리 앤 씨를 부르면 내가 대답할 듯.......

"**DARK STARE AT THE CAMERA TO SHOW MRS. CROCOMBE'S DISAPPROVAL**
I love Mrs. Crocombe shade!
My nan taught me how to make Roly Poly Pudding (both the sweet and savoury kinds) and I haven't had it in ages! Guess what I'll be cooking up in the next few weeks! You can fill them with just about anything but our family favourites were either sausage meat, sage and onion or Sunday roast left overs (including left over roast and green veggies and topped with any gravy left over from Sunday roast) for savoury and jam Roly Poly with warm custard or sweet white sauce for a dessert one.
I've been diagnosed coeliac so I'll be trying it with gluten free flour so I'm not sure how it will turn out, but here's hoping. I may try adding an egg to the pastry (my nan sometimes did that anyway for "extra goodness") to help bind it and see how that goes.
Thanks for sharing, Kez. Let us know how you get on with your coeliac variant!
Will do :)
i don’t know if you have Bob’s Red Mill products available where you are (maybe online if not locally) but they make an amazing product called “gluten free 1 to 1 baking flour.” i was diagnosed coeliac in 2005, and back then i was having to mix crazy blends of like 5 different types of expensive flours in different ratios for different uses (such a pain). when the Bob’s product came out a couple of years ago, i figured it was worth a try, so i bought some and tried a few different things with it... made a cake, brownies, a loaf of bread, biscuits (cookies and bread biscuits). you use it just like wheat flour in the same measurements a recipe calls for, and all of them turned out beautifully. i actually cried, then when i had my mom and sister taste them, they did too. i don’t say this lightly: it really was life-changing for me.
“Dead man’s leg.” *disapproving look*
🤣🤣🤣 I love this series!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You just know Mrs. Crocombe gets respect. That look in her eyes! "Dead Man's Leg"... She'll have none of that in her kitchen! ; ) LOL.
I can't be the only one who immediately thought of Tom Kitten and Beatrix Potter at this :) Wonderful work as always!
I watched to see who was right - Samuel Whiskers (breadcrumbs) or Anna Maria (butter and dough.)
@@sarahelizabeth2005 As a kid, I wondered how they ate the fur.
Happy to see everyone loves her and missed her as much as I do! WELCOME BACK MY QUEEN
That look at 4:15 made my whole day! This needs to be a meme! Also, this looks like it'd be pretty good.
When you ask how someone is and they give you a lecture you never asked for
I put a template of that up on Imgflip.com. You’re welcome
I love this . She is an amazing actress and I love how she cooks these awesome meals
i just found this a few weeks ago and I just can't stop watching it! the disapproval look of Mrs. Crocombe is just my life from now on
Every time Mrs. Crocombe has something to say about “poor people”, “not very good”, she looks right into your eyes.
I had to stop *EVERYTHING* just to see her again! I love it!
Roly poly us to heaven, Queen
This dish reminds me of the one my late Grandmother used to make. She was from Belfast Ireland, and she made a fruit filled version of this with currants called "Plum Duff". After she did the prep for it, she would boil it in a newly bought (and washed) pillowcase turned inside out and tied up. I never ate any of it but it was fun watching her make it.
That's really interesting. Here in The Bahamas, we have a similar dish made with guavas called Guava Duff. I suppose it's one of those old, largely forgotten dishes that only a few people still make.
Never ate any?.....lame
David Smith Why didn't you eat any of it? It sounds interesting!
Well, the main reason I never ate any was because my Grandmother used to make it for her brother. Plus at the time I was only around 5 or 6 years old. My brother even had to remind me that my Grandmother never made it for us but instead for her brother. If she were alive today and made it, I definitely would try it for sure. :)
David Smith man, what a sad info :(
"MARY ANN-"
*Mary Ann whips around in fear*
"-has already prepared my ingredients..."
*Mary Ann quickly tries to figure out what she did wrong*
Haa! That was a funny moment. I snapped to attention, and I'm no Mary Ann!
Her disapproving stare is sooo iconic I LOVE IT😍❤️
Those eyes after “dead man’s leg” like yeah, I’ve heard that name before...but not in my kitchen...
I like the warm sun lighting in this one
Wonderful! That look at 4:15 is priceless!
I've read about the general sentiment felt between the classes, but the "It doesn't matter how it looks, as this is for the servants" really does bring it into clear form.
"Doesn't really matter what it looks like, this is for the servants." -throws shade- LOL
😂 omg the shade at 4:15 my powdered wig was SNATCHED
I've not seen a savoury roly poly before even though I'm British. Have to say I think I prefer the sweet variety with jam topped with custard, but I might give this a try one day.
I am also British and me neither, but looks like it could be a good meal when money's tight. Shows how traditions change. Think I would fry the filling a little before putting it in the pastry.
Yeah, I would probably do the same with frying. As it was a meal for servants (in this video at least, and I assume that was based on this being a dish for poorer people) I reckon they probably wanted something filling, and probably rich tasting, which I think this would be and probably something that could be thrown together while cooking the Lords/Lady's meal. I do love this channel for making these videos, I've been going through Mrs. Beeton's book and reading the recipes in there is interesting but seeing them come to life is great.
Hey im Australian but my grandmother is Scottish and she use to make savory rolly polly all the time when I was a kid. Maybe it is more of a older generation food
nefir I went to primary school in the early 90’s and we were served cheese and onion rolly poly sometimes
Bacon....
OH YAY!!! Mrs. Crocombe is back!!!
Mrs. Crocombe had a *5 MINS break?* Unacceptable!
The moment she said cheap and look straight af at the camera
Me: I NEVER FELT SO ATTACKED HAHA
"You've caught me having 5 minutes!" LMFAO
Lol I was getting sad as I didn't see this immediately when scrolling through the comments. This had me dying XD
👍👍👍 *_Always happy too see Mrs. Crocombe_*
Ugh. My week has been made.✨
"it doesn't matter how it looks, as this is for the servants". Quite right, Mrs Crocombe. One doesn't want one to get above one's station.
The way she fried them at the end reminds me of one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, banh tet! It has a pork filling inside a sticky rice roll and you fry it. It’s so good 😊
I love Banh Tet, but I've never seen anyone fry it. It sound good though, I'll have to try it next time I buy one.
YAY! I MISSED YOU! ❤
Maybe this was servants' food, but to me, this looks delicious and something my (not-so-refined) tastebuds would probably prefer more than certain dishes made for Lord & Lady Braybrooke -- for example, the curry. Nevertheless, I'm so happy to have Mrs Crocombe back for a new video. Yay!
**Note to self** Never say dead Man's leg around MsCrocombe!!😂😂
Seriously, who on earth came out with the name "dead man's leg" for that delicious food!?
Have you heard of the pudding called "drowned baby" 🤔😆
She seemed in such a good mood today
We absolutely LOVE Mrs. Crocombe!! @English Heritage: Are you going to publish copies of her old book? I would buy one (or two) in a heartbeat!
I am in love with the videos! Why did we stop to cook like our Grandmothers? No expensive Kitchenmachines or other stupid things..just 2 Hands and a heart for the past. You made my day! And I will try it too. I think, I started with the victoria sandwiches and after this...Roly Poly Pudding :-) all the best from Germany!!!
Please do hurry with the cookbook! It has to have fabulous photographs, lavish and gorgeous! Hurry!
Yes, please, hurry with the cookbook. But I'd like to see at least a couple of pages of just scans from her notebook. She had such beautiful handwriting and her notes provide a great insight into her life and the family she worked for.
Somehow, photographs, seem inappropriate. Perhaps, some delicate sketches, instead? Sketches, in the book, and, an accompanying book, of photos? I don't want to lose the magic.
@@susanmiller7472 It is 1880. They definitely had photography in the Victorian era. Hence, the photos of Queen Vicky.
„For this recipe you will need:“
The way she is saying this is... *ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE*
Ms. Crocombe disapproving face is EVERYTHING we need. OMG I totally LOVE HER
