Victorian Christmas Dinner


EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY!! 
that was the cry of the Victorians as they ate their dinner with gusto!

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!  

We have the victorians to thank for the long running tradition. 
The celebration of family and fine food!
