Description: | At the top of this leaflet, in Evanion's handwriting, is the date "Dec 1883". Consistent with this date, the grocer is advertising his stock of raisins, currants and saltanas - vital ingredients for the traditional British Christmas pudding.
This dish originated in the 14th century in the form of a porridge. It was then a fasting dish eaten in preparation for Christmas, and was made by boiling beef, mutton, raisins, currents, plums and spices. By the 16th century the porridge had evolved into a plum cake, given more flavour by the addition of eggs, breadcrumbs and alcohol. Speciality Christmas Tea is also advertised in this store. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
