Given the menu, irregularity was not a problem.
Meanwhile, we've often discussed whether certain types of Bad Language were appropriate to various historical period. Well, here's sort of an Ur Document along such lines. This letter was hand-delivered to each team in baseball's National League before the 1898 season, spelling out exactly what sort of language was prohibited on the field. This is not a modern-day mockup, fake, or hoax. It's the real deal, fully authenticated by the Chief Historian of the Baseball Hall of Fame, and please be warned -- the language used will lift your stovelids. And it'll put to rest any speculation about Victorian language, at least in sporting circles in the United States.
It may have been there were no lady's present. I can remember my Grandfather at tractor pulls and other mostly men events back then. His buddy's and him, would use words that would make a sailor blush, but back home with the lady folks, you would think he was the Pope! My mother said, she never heard him use a four letter word.Lizzie, this "Bad language" reminds me of my military days.
Sometimes I felt that some of these "kids" spoke in
this manner because they were away from "home" and could
get away with such language. I'm sure this comes as no surprise.
But reading of this time period.
I cannot imagine those specific words being used back then.
I'm sure their was profanity but I had a different concept.
Very informative and interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
Btw: I've never tasted porridge & prunes.
But I did chew on sweet bean pods from wild Mesquite trees.
Was always on the 'go'!

Thank you, that is good advice.
I have this in the pantry.
I don't follow a scheduled time for eating or have a heavy plate.
I eat in small amounts when hungry all the time.
Not as much meat as in the past. Mostly fish and poultry
along with greens.. I enjoy fixing a pot of vegetables
of all sorts.
I prefer honey instead of sugar. I also add chopped pecans.Selfmade Banana-milk, mmmh. Banana, milk from the fridgerator, sugar/vanilla sugar in the mixer, enjoy!

My pet peeve is words that have entered our vocabulary. I wonder if people from the Vintage age would understand the term chipotle or ciabatta bread or Dasani?

Two terms: schnitzel & pomme .
Is this still popular in Germany?
