Learn how the wealthy dined on multi-course meals while the poor barely had enough to sustain themselves.
Those who enjoy learning about history, socio-economics and food will have all three crossing interests satiated on Oct. 19 with the “Mealtime with the Victorians” event at the Mt. Laurel Library.
Attendees will learn how meals in the Victorian Era (the period of Queen Victoria’s reign in the United Kingdom from 1837 through 1901) were vastly different than what people are accustomed to today.
According to the library’s website, while the wealthy dined on multi-course meals, the poor barely had enough to sustain themselves.
With this event, attendees can discover how, what and when the different classes ate their meals, as well as how tea was one item consumed by every socio-economic class.
This event will be presented by food historian Judith Krall-Russo. This event is for adults ages 18 and older, and no registration is required to attend.
“Mealtime with the Victorians” will take place at the Mt. Laurel Library on Oct. 19 from 1 to 2 p.m. in Meeting Room No. 2.
