Including: The potato pie; the leg of Herdwick Mutton, stuck with anchovies; how the English diet is really Nordic; the forgotten Cristmasdfood; the early 19th Century 12 cake, a ‘hoop cake’ the forerunner of the Christmas cake, popular until about 1850 when the Christmas cake took over; the decoration with two crowns; the Arack punch, made with Arack, lime juice, hot water and sugar; Arack is fermented palm from Sri Lanka called Toddy, hence Toddy Walla- “the most authentic punch you will ever drink”, from the end of the 17th century.
