Chefs and cooks, do share your excitements and thoughts.

I am in the  middle of Victoria miniseries on Amazon and can't get over the fancy Victorian stuff.
I know British are not famous for delicious food but yet Victorian stuff is famous for certain charm.

Apparently Victoria had an Italian Chef working for her.

Oh and talking about Victoria, there is a WHOLE episode about how her husband Albert who was German introduced the tradition of Christmas to the British Royal Family and how important this was to him.
I think this is how this really spread the Christmas all over the world, once those traditions were good enough for the British Royalty they went into wide wide world..

They had one main tree hanged up from the ceiling middle of the room and many small ones on the side, one for each child. I was wondering if they will put live candles on them.. and OMG..they did...
I was clenching my pearls all the rest of the episode hoping this won't burn down "the house".. :lol:
