How to Make Vegetable Salad — The Victorian Way
Buy your copy of our 'Victorian Way' cookery book:
It's the height of summer at Audley End House and Mrs Crocombe is preparing a summer salad of vegetables, with aspic jelly. This 'salad' is based on a homemade mayonnaise, but filled with delicate diced vegetables, surrounded with asparagus and decorated with jewel-like pieces of aspic — a jelly made from meat stock.
