A menu for a Jane Austen picnic — 3 Comments

  1. What do you suppose is the difference between plain pastry biscuits, plain biscuits and a tin of mixed biscuits?

  2. That is some list of foods. I’m with Anji on that calf’s head. I know… waste not, want not. They managed to use/consume every part of the beast. Considering there was no refrigeration and what ice they could manage had been stored in an ice house since winter, I think they did fairly well with that menu.

    They look very formal in their attire. I broke out in a sweat just thinking about all the clothing they wore in that period. I love the picture, but it smothers me to death as we are enduring the heat in the 90s right now. Where’s my fan? Thanks for this interesting post.
