[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I binged Call the Midwife, [b]and there was like, one season where they ALWAYS talked about the tea being well-sugared (to comfort the person getting it). Like, too much. It annoyed me.[/b] Even though the food they ate at Nonnatus House looked pretty bad I always wanted some.[/quote] Well PP you need a bit of context here. Back in those days Tea was VERY expensive, it had to be imported, you know that, but sugar was consider also a gold. It used to be LOCKED in a box so the servants would not still it. It was consider a treat of the highest class and if you gave or offered someone, it was a sign of great respect. And yes, it was the more the better.. and also as a cure for many problems and clearly it worked. Think of it as placebo. That is why sugar worked because now it is considered that the sugar in placebo actually helps with many processes and actually cures some stuff. So it is not exactly placebo.[/quote]
