Albion Delights restaurant * -------------------------------------------------
Why not?
Two days ago my friend and I went to this recently opened restaurant called Albion Delights. It was celebrating traditional British food over the centuries. We both love English food so we decided to go in and try all of the traditional dishes.

* -------------------------------------------------
On the inside
The decoration was incredible. I was amazed. They have separated the restaurant into five different sections, each representing different era of the British history. The sections were the Elizabethan era, the Jacobean era, the Georgian era, the Victorian era and the modern era. The staff was also dressed according to the era they’ve been in. It felt so realistic that in every section I felt like I really was literally back in the time.

* -------------------------------------------------
The best part – eating!
In the Elizabethan era section the dishes were mostly desserts, which I liked a lot. They all were beyond delicious. The Almond pudding and the Rock candy and especially the Snow cream. I’ve tried them all! Maybe I’ve got diabetes but I don’t care, because it worth it!
What made an impression on me, other than desserts, was the Oyster soup in the Victorian era section. I’ve never, ever eaten a soup as good as this one.
The third era that I’ve liked is the modern one. There were many plates with fish and chips, roast beef, roast potatoes, vegetables etc.

* -------------------------------------------------
Visit while you can!
I strongly recommend to all of you to visit the restaurant and see for yourself. It really was an amazing experience. And as I already said it is not just the food that you will love, the atmosphere and the decorations, the whole representation of each era was unbelievably well done. Here is the official page of the restaurant if some of you are interested in

    During the Elizabethan times the way they cooked, served, and handled their food was very different from ours. They didn't have as many cooking tools but the did have much simpler ones to use when necessary. If you saw someone cooking the way they did during their time you would tend to find it a little strange but quite delicious for upper class. Usually during their time they would use:“spit roasting, baking, boiling, smoking, salting or thru frying”(www.http://www.elizabethanenglandlife.com). They used pots and pans, kettles, mortar and pestle (for nuts), meat knifes, and scissors.…

    Food and drinks were different depending on your status, and wealth. “In the early medieval times meat was a sign of wealth.” (Elizabethan Food). What you hunted for food depended on your status. “Only Lords and Nobles were allowed to hunt deer, dear, boar, hares, and rabbits” (The Last Colony). In the Elizabethan Era, most of the meals were cooked using an open flame, by: “spit roasting, being fried, baking, boiling, smoking, and salting.” (Elizabethan food). Salt was used to preserve the meat because they would kill the animals before winter and the meat would have to last when they weren’t eating it. “Peacock feathers were used to decorate the food for the banquets that Royalty had” (Elizabethan Food). Banquets then and now are still the same; they both are made for special occasions and made to look good with special effects. Most food had to be purchased from markets, meat from livestock markets, dairy from large cities, and vegetables from large cities. Many Lords and Nobles had rotten and black teeth, because of their diets and how they snubbed vegetables and only ate sugary foods. “Water was not clean in the middle ages and people therefore drank wine and ale” (Elizabethan Food). Different flavors were added to ales and beer for better tastes. Most of the diets in the Elizabethan times were bread, meat and fish, but biscuits were a convenience food, (used when they were a little hungry and needed a snack). The People from the Elizabethan times usually ate three times a day, just as we do…

    Food is perhaps the most important aspect at any banquet. In Ancient Mesopotamia, all of the city or city-states most elaborate food was brought to a banquet. For one of the biggest feasts recorded in Mesopotamia, the Ten Day Feast, an ornate variety of cattle, wild game, fish, birds, vegetables, fruits, spices, grains, and dairy products were brought for the occasion (World Eras. 2005. 230-231). Likewise, in Ancient Egypt, the most sophisticated and expensive food was served for banquets. Food such as ox, fowl, rich stews, bread, veggies, and cakes were dished up for the Egyptian banquet events (World Eras. 2002. 159-161).…

    Some of France’s traditional dishes can be dated back to the fifteenth century, where dishes were decorated lavishly to hide the use of rotting food in the homes of the rich. Later on, food was decorated and flavored not to hide the rotting food, but to emphasize the flavors of the regional food (Lowen 36).…

    A Meal To Remember

    • 346 Words
    • 1 Page

    A meal to remember Food is one of my most favourite things in life, without it life would be very boring. Though I have had some pretty good meals in my life, there was one memorable meal that still makes my mouth water. It was at about a year back at my aunt’s house, in celebration of her eldest son, my cousin, pulling all A’s in his A Level exams. We spent most of the day talking about everything that took place since we last saw each other, and all the while the aroma of the food being cooked kept my nose engrossed. When it was meal time and we were called to the dining table, which was most welcome since I was starved by then. First, my aunt served fried rice which is a traditional part of any feast, and then roasted chicken was brought out. The rice was well cooked but wasn’t too oily, and the chicken was roasted brown, a bit overdone, just the way me and my cousins preferred. Both looked delicious, so with wasting any more time I took some rice and grabbed a large chicken drumstick on my plate. I took the fork and knife in my hand and cut a rather large piece of it and put it in my mouth. The crust outside was nice and crisp, yet the meat was tender and succulent inside. As I continued eating eagerly I noticed that she had also served shrimps, which was equally scrumptious. I took double helping of both the chicken and the shrimp, and munched away. Finally, after almost an hour, all of us had finished our meal, and kept complimenting my aunt on what an amazing meal it was and what a great cook she is. I stayed another hour with them mainly because I was so full that I couldn’t move. As I left I thanked my aunt again for such a good meal. It was one meal that neither me nor my taste-buds would ever forget.…

    Although I have had a lot of food that taste really well all over the world, even some dishes are high-class delicacy from famous chefs. The “Chicken Chowder Soup” is still my favorite dish. Although many restaurants now put this dish on their menus and make it with more expensive batches. But I prefer the one which my mother or my grander mother makes in its original way and have it with my family. For me, it is not just a delicious dish, but the love and happy memory of my hometown and…
