How to Make a Travel Picnic — The Victorian Way

foreign [Music] T lady braybrook's son-in-law to take with him on his journey back to his townhouse in London I'm going to make sausage rolls and raspberry a to go with it for these recipes you will need [Music] for the sausage rolls sausage meat and dough for the raspberry Aid brown sugar red currants raspberries water and cream of tartar foreign these sausage rolls are very easy to make and very portable ideal for a busy man to take with him he could even put it in his pocket I've got some bread dough here that was made by Fanny her father is a Baker and she likes to keep her hand in and it's already had its first proofing so these are ready for me to start making into sausage rolls I'm going to make a Baker's Dozen so I've already divided them up and now all I need to do is to put into the middle a little sausage meat We Buy in our daily bread nowadays long gone are the days when a house like this would make its own bread but I think it's important for the girls to know how to make it then they can make things like lardi cake I will admit that we tend to use the packet German yeast the stuff comes in blocks because it's easier although I would rather use brewer's yeast as it's fresher this sausage meat comes from the butcher in Walden although I should imagine that he uses pigs reared here on Lord braybrook's estate foreign sausage meat or Force meat as this is properly called is very useful it's good for adding flavors but you have to trust your butcher I've heard of butchers putting all sorts of things in their Force mate but I can rely on the butcher in Walden it's good to have a good relationship with your suppliers now these are done they're going to have a second proof in and then go into a fast oven for 20 minutes [Music] this is another simple recipe you need raspberries and red currants and sugar bruise together and some water a little hot to dissolve the sugar and I'm now going to leave this to infuse for the day [Music] foreign now that this is infused for a whole day um I'm going to add a little cream of tartar to make it fizz and now I'm going to put it in my bottles foreign with any summer fruit strawberries or even apples anything that's soft it's a nice alternative to Lemonade or orange Aid which are very popular [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] experience [Music] this is not quite a full bottle I might save this for my half day [Music] foreign T is traveling to London on the train it's not very far but it's important that he has something to eat should he need it my sausage rolls are looking lovely I asked Marianne to put on a glaze before they went in [Applause] I'm going to wrap up six [Applause] foreign you could of course get Refreshments at the station but it won't be as good and I have some sandwiches left over from luncheon Mr strut will be traveling with his manservant but he will travel in second class while Mr Strutt will be traveling In First Class so it's important that I've provided food that doesn't need any slicing or any preparation I understand that when the queen travels on the train the hampers are full of stews pies roast foul and a great deal of cake ah nice Queen drop biscuits but I think this will be enough for one man I'm going to add fresh strawberries and cream and Mr Lincoln will add some claret there we are a picnic camper for one [Music] thank you
