They usually think that
26:15
they are all-knowing, I think.
26:17
Ah, right.
26:18
Yeah, I will give you one example.
26:19
It's quite an old one, but that probably makes it safe.
26:21
What a goody.
26:22
Yes, I do still manage this building.

15 MINS LATER

41:20
Yeah, we had a situation, the
20:07
Why did these soar in popularity?
20:09
Yeah.
20:09
It's, it's, it's interesting.
20:10
The Chelsea bun is, is sort of the key, the key one.
20:14
The, the Georgians have an obsession with buns, so all those famous buns that we know about still today, the Chelsea bun, the Bath bun you've mentioned, they do seem to date from the Georgian period.
20:23
It may be that we were influenced by the French that you, you could eat sweet breads at breakfast.
20:30
But in fact, we've been making sweetened bread.

21 MINS LATER

41:42
We've talked about dishes that many listeners will recognize, but where do you most notice Georgian influences coming up with what and when we eat?
27:54
So what would they serve somewhere like that, and how would they manage the kind of logistics of such a large quantity for so many people?
28:02
Yeah.
28:02
So if I just explain what Vauxhall Gardens was.
28:05
So Vauxhall Gardens were a, a pleasure gardens that developed over the Georgian period.
28:11
It was in Vauxhall, obviously, which is on, on, uh, the River Thames, so a, a little outside the City of Westminster.
28:18
It was a pleasure gardens that was, uh...
28:20
You had to pay to get in.

8 MINS LATER

36:18
So if we go to the East End in the Georgian period, what sort of popular things would people have been eating later in the day?
31:09
So what would they serve somewhere like that? And how would they manage the kind of logistics of such a large quantity for so many people?
31:18
Yeah.
31:18
So if I just explain what Vauxhall Gardens was.

9 MINS LATER

40:58
So if we go to the East End in the Georgian period, what sort of popular things would people have been eating later in the day?
29:25
Donc, qu'est-ce qu'ils serviraient à quelque part comme ça? Et comment ils gèrent la logistique de cette grande quantité pour tellement de gens?
29:33
Si j'expliquais ce qu'étaient les jardins de Vauxhall.
29:34
Les jardins de Vauxhall étaient des jardins de plaisir qui ont été développés au cours de la période georgienne.
29:41
C'était à Vauxhall, évidemment, qui est sur la rivière Thames, donc un peu à l'extérieur de la ville de Westminster.
29:49
C'était un jardin de plaisir où vous deviez payer pour y entrer.
29:52
Il s'ouvrait seulement dans les mois de l'été, donc si le temps était bon, ces mois de l'été pourraient durer plus longtemps.
29:57
Il s'ouvrait vraiment à 5h du matin, donc c'était quelque part où vous alliez le matin.

8 MINS LATER

38:16
Donc, si nous allions à l'est de la période georgienne, quelles sortes de choses populaires devraient les gens manger plus tard dans le jour ?
29:39
So what would they serve somewhere like that? And how would they manage the kind of logistics of such a large quantity for so many people?
29:48
Yeah, so if I just explain what Vauxhall Gardens was.
29:50
So Vauxhall Gardens were a pleasure gardens that developed over the Georgian period.
29:56
It was in Vauxhall, obviously, which is on the River Thames, so a little outside the city of Westminster.
30:04
It was a pleasure garden that you had to pay to get in.
30:07
It only opened in the summer months, so if the weather was good, those summer months could last longer.
30:13
It really opened about five o'clock in the evening, so it was somewhere you went in the evening.

8 MINS LATER

38:04
So if we go to the East End in the Georgian period, what sort of popular things would people have been eating later in the day?
30:39

9 MINS LATER

40:04
So if we go to the East End in the Georgian period, what sort of popular things would people have been eating later in the day?
23:42
Yes.
23:42
Who apparently did research at the older Guildhall Library, the Victorian building, and obviously liked it here because what he, when he founded the Wine and Food Society, um, they started gathering together a library, and he wanted it given to Guildhall Library.
23:58
And it arrived here, which then attracted attention to the sort of Cinderella collections we had before that.
24:03
It was a big collection.
24:05
And so people started giving us cookery books.
24:08
And when Elizabeth David was, uh, in her old age, you might say, in the 1970s, uh, into the '80s when she was getting older, her books became more and more dense with historical research.
24:22
So particularly the book on English Bread and Yeast Cookery and the book on Harvest of the Cold Months.

7 MINS LATER

31:29
Yeah
79:27
magazines
79:28
magazines yeah um pretty much i can do everything except what is required for an ffl i just can't get that permit with my situation basically i do my engraving for fun and i have a great time doing it i do tumblers knives uh yeah you did a
speaker_3ADVERTISER
79:49
You're quite welcome.
79:50
And you can reach me at DefenderGraving.co.com, or you can reach me on my cell phone, 480-861-9724.
20:18
Yes.
20:18
And it was a cheap, maybe a penny, maybe a penny for a half pint mug.
20:24
It's difficult to say because lots of people were scamming other people by having small measures.
20:29
It was hot.
20:30
Although if you imagine a November morning before it's, you know, it's gonna be maybe wet and cold, it was hot and nourishing, and if it had sugar it would be nice and sweet.
20:40
So it would warm you up maybe as a late supper or as an early breakfast.
20:44
Unfortunately, because of the people who were s- who gathered at these saloop stands where they often had a lamp, there would be a lamp there.

7 MINS LATER

27:44
Yes.
4:11
Okay.
4:11
So I'd be worried about airways.
4:12
I'd be worried about, uh, people that have asthma or COPD or other, uh, lung ailments.
4:18
So when we would have a forest fire or a major fire, uh, we would see an increase in emergency room visits.
4:25
We would see an increase in asthma attacks, and we would also increase-- see increases in mortality.
4:30
So we can expect all of these things to be happening in Tehran right now.
4:34
But in, uh, in this smoke, in addition to the sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs, we would also see benzene, toluene, uh, and a number of other explosive gases, uh, that are very, uh, very toxic.
7:35
Like, what do you think about the effect of topography on all of this?
