Well, I was okay until I got to the rolled ox tongue.
I don’t even want to know how they roll it.
Absolutley excellent post, but I think I’ll skip dinner.
I can roll MY tongue. Maybe oxen can roll theirs, too.

Heeeeey, I bet you’re on to something there! Good answer.
Why am I getting this image of the “Mr. Creosote” skit from Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life”?
“Give me another bucket!”
“Would you like a wafer thin mint, Sir?”
LOL! Yes, there certainly is more to life that just eating...

Champagne at every meal sounds like the best part, to me. All those meats make me feel a little unwell just reading about it!
(We had the Chickpea Dish with Noodles for supper :-).
Whoa!
“Good stuff, this. Toast all mulched with kidney fat and blood, macaroni good and rich, tongue gigantic and purple.”
Good Gawd!
COCONUT ROCKS
1 lb. grated coconut
1 1/2 - 2 lbs of sugar
chopped cashew (optional)
6 ozs. milk
a few drops of colouring
1/2 teasp. of vanilla
a pinch of ground cardomoms (optional)
Chocolate Icing:
2 tablesps. of cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablesp. of sugar
1 oz. of milk
1/2 teasp. rose water
Method:
Boil sugar and milk together. Add grated coconut, and cook until the mixture comes off the sides of the pan. Add chopped cashew, vanilla, cardomom powder and colouring. When done spread it on a greased board. Before it gets hard quickly put the cocoa powder, milk and sugar in another small pan on medium heat and keep stirring till it gets slightly thick. Add rose water. Take it off the heat and pour it on the prepared coconut mixture. Cut into squares before it gets hard.
The chocolate layer will really look nice on light pink or light green coconut rocks.
Come, now Diana, don’t go getting queasy on us!!!!
I don’t believe would much care for an Edqardian kitchen (or the size of the meals) but I sure would like to be on your ping list!!!!
The “weirdest” things I’ve ever eaten are:
Alligator (like lobster; Yum!)
Snake (caught that one myself in LA on a training course; man, I HATE the Swamplands!)
Chocolate Covered Insects (on a dare; crunchy chocolate, basically)
Raw fish, freshly caught, with lime & salt (fishing in Mexico) which was terrific, since I also like Sushi. :)
My Grandma Anita would eat anything that wouldn’t eat her first, LOL! (She loved Tongue and Tripe.) No, thank you!
Starting from the bottom of your list:
Tongue I will eat, in fact I have one in the freezer I plan to eat this weekend. Ixnay on the tripe - no way.
I love sushi and sashimi!
Ixnay on the chocolaye insects.
Never tried snake, but hubby says it tastes like chicken and now whenever he eats chicken he says it tastes like snake :)
Alligator is simply MAHAVELOUS DAHLINK!!! I love gator.
The weirdest thing I think I have ever eaten was starfish. I was 7 years old and we were at some ritzy resort in Chile.
This was a delightful read. What a h00t!
Thank you for the post & the ping.
Are you ready for an “Edwardian Supersize Me”.
This is a fun read when you find the time.:)
Burp! I feel bloated just reading about that edwardian chow
