Bone marrow is part of one of the famous food here in the Philippines which is bulalo. It's good to serve when the weather is cold.

Actually bones and cartilage have entered popularity again. I buy organic chicken, roast it for a nice meal (complete with gravy), then boil the heck out the bones, marrow, skin, knuckles, other cartilage, and fat, to make the best soup. (Strain) Add garlic, onion, carrot, celery, or other savory vegetables, and your bone broth is incredibly nourishing. I’m not ready to try the heads of animals yet, though 😳

Then roll the foil over, plastic wrap in the mold first, so it wont stick. Put the mold,bread tin goes good in the fridge on a tray or so with some press on top until it set and cools down.

Full English breakfasts are very similar to the breakfasts I grew up eating in the American South. Growing up, pork and beans were a breakfast food. I especially loved fried eggs, sweet pork and beans and toast as a breakfast. My grandma would eat tomato slices with almost every meal but she'd roast them for breakfast and just have them raw with salt and pepper for lunch or dinner.

This was a really interesting topic. Fresh veggies and fruits are always welcome. I had no idea how jello was made. What do you know? My Czech grandmother made a dish called epernitza (I don't have a clue how to spell this). It's made from intestines and has a pungent odor (to say the least). Well, when Dad smelled the smell, he ran to buy a hamburger. Grandma made it for her sisters and brothers. However we always showed up for freshly baked kolaches. Yum! So, what were some common immigrant foods of the 19th century? Who opened up the first pizza parlor or the first Chinese restaurant or European bakery?

Pretty much half of these foods are my absolute favorite dishes, marrow on toast is an absolute classic, beef cheeks based dishes are in most of the Michelin star restaurant, long boiled bones for rich soup is a beast of a food, ramen anybody.? Jellied meats and headcheese made out of organs, thoungm. etc are absolute classics especially in Eastern an central Europe.....

The bullseye candy reminded of the Christmas rainbow and primrose cut hard candy my grandma would have on her kitchen table. Loved seeing the design in the candy. Surprised you didn't mention cow's tongue.

I’m partially deaf so I use subtitles. When he said “Victorian style video” I thought he said “Victorian style Chlamydia” because I was on the other side of the room and not looking at my phone. FML

I had never heard of medlars until this day and year. And now I want to try them. I had to Google what grits and chitterlings were due to another comment too. Much learning was had. My mind has expanded!

You left the fried bread and black pudding out of the Full English! And I've eaten many of the foods mentioned, but of course, my grandmother, who lived with us when I was growing up, was an Englishwoman who was born in the 1880s, at the height of the Victorian Era.

I love this channel! Could you please make a video on life in a fort during colonial times?

Very interesting to take a backward glimpse into the way way past

I could definitely eat a bag of them strawberries and a bucket of that full English brekky--but you can keep the rest of it.

Look up kiwi trucker's meal and you'll be in heaven then.

In Korea, when they buy a house or a car , people buy a pig's head as a offering and have shamans bless the house/car so the owner will have good luck with it and to prevent accidents.

History idea: Where did the Funeral March and Here Comes The bride come from. Maybe some weird history on historic singers and bands from a few hundred or thousand years back

The "Funeral March" was by Frederic Chopin. "Here Comes the Bride" comes from a wedding night serenade song in the opera "Lohengrin" by Richard Wagner, and I'm fairly sure the reason it got popular was from being played at the weddings of the daughters of Queen Victoria in the 1850s. They also started the tradition of brides wearing white dresses because the opera's heroine wore one.

How so, @Rocket Backhander, especially when this is a video about Victorian British cuisine and we Brits have absolutely no idea who or what Denny's is? You colonials are just so quaint when it comes to how we Brits actually are, aren't you?

@@Phil_A_O_Fish It's a reference to the opening bit, when he name-drops IHOP's "Rooty-Tooty-Fresh-N-Fruity" but decides to skip the Denny's "Moons Over My Hammy." In truth it has zero to do with "you Brits" so kindly sit the fuck down. Love your hair hope you win.

@@rocketbackhander6280, I'm curious but did you and I watch the same video? At barely 30 seconds into it the title is ' What People Ate To Survive In Victorian England ' and NOT " Which Local Denny's Did Victorian Britons Swim The Atlantic To Eat At? ", isn't it? This obviously means that despite your obvious illiteracy and offensive language this entire video is about what we Brits had to eat throughout the entirety of Queen Victoria's reign in the U.K. between 1837 and 1901 and if you don't like the fact that it excludes any of you Yanks then maybe you should take that up with Weird History, shouldn't you? Contrary to what you Colonials think the U.S.A. is not at the centre of the known universe and is often mocked by a lot of us non-Americans for its collective paranoia, ignorance and its inability to keep its nose out of international affairs. Incidentally my hair's just fine - not that it's any of your business, is it?

“Once you’ve had Cap’N Crunch, you’ll never go back.” Never have truer words been spoken.

very informative

My dad grew up very poor in Puerto Rico . They had to eat whatever they could come by with a family of 14 +. Growing up he'd shoot a ground hog and cook it - if he obtained a turtle it was turtle soup , rabbit , fish head stew, snake . He'd eat it even though he didnt have to lol. On those occasions my mom just made an alternative dinner for the rest of us 😅 Though I couldnt bring myself to try his cooking endeavors it definitely made me appreciate the concept that "food is food ."

Now I know how The Stones came up with Goats Head Soup.

Fascinating! I was wondering what the ancient Egyptians or the cave men ate. Have you done those yet?

0:54 that’s Boldt Castle! It’s actually in New York and construction was stopped in 1904. It’s a sad and cool story that honestly deserves its own video!

Alice's journeys through Wonderland & the Looking Glass cite several of these foods--oysters, mock turtle soup (John Tenniel drew a very comical Calf whose head was doomed for the dish), and so on.
