Christmas in England

It was based on old pagan traditions and was mainly for adults. It was full of mischief and alcohol.
3 слайд
When Queen Victoria and her German husband Prince Albert became the rulers of the British Empire
the British started celebrating what we know as ‘traditional’ British Christmas. Victoria and Albert decided to invent a new-style celebration that would support the values and morals they wanted their people to follow.

e.g. They decorated their homes with garlands and greenery.

The way Christmas dishes are now served in Britain changed
It became fashionable to dine a la Russe (Russian style) – to serve separate dishes instead of having all the dishes on the table at once.
15 слайд
Before the 17th century the main Christmas dish was the plum pudding.
It was served with the meat course and was eaten with a spoon.
With time people added other ingredients:
mutton (баранина)
raisins (изюм)
wine
ginger (имбирь)
cloves (гвоздика)
