A Victorian Christmas Dinner was a feast in all its splendor! The opportunity to show off the finest silver, china & linen.
A Roast
formed the centre piece of the feast.
A Goose or Turkey , Rib of Beef on the bone, a
Ham or a Boar's head was served with roasted veg, mash, gravy, and sage &
onion stuffing. Even in humbler households, people celebrated with the
best meal they could afford. A Game pie or Rabbit was usually served.
Then as now Christmas dinner was the high point of the year. A carefully planned
meal and a real treat!
The celebration of family and fine food!
