Can't remember where the food was last discussed but had to post this when I found it in Mrs Beeton's Guide to Household Management (p. 833, published 1861) :

Quote:
Hot rolls, swimming in melted butter, and new breat, ought to be carefully shunned by everybody who has the slightest respect for that much-injured individual - the Stomach."


Wonder what Matey would have made of that one?! Laughing

Sounds nice though!

I always thought that rolls and honey always sounded a lot nicer in the CS books than putting honey on a heated roll in England!

I've heard that warm fresh bread is not good for you in quantity

But I don't know if it's true - could be a scurrilous rumour Wink

Jo wouldn't let the triplets have hot cakes (as she termed waffles) either. But she said it was because they were too young, so as adults we can probably eat them without worrying. Laughing

Isn't warm new bread supposed to give you indigestion?

When breadmakers first came out a friend got one and we ate lots and lots of new fresh warm bread - can't remember if we got indigestion or not.

I think she was actually concerned about what was in the waffles, as they were so different from the way they should have been... Laughing

Yes, but I think that Daisy - who thought they were fine - knew that the triplets wouldn't be allowed them either.

In one of the Monica Edwards books (I think it's No Entry) Tamzin and co. make bread then get indigestion from eating it while it's warm.

I never got indigestion from eating new bread when I was a kid... just goes to show I'll never be Tamzin. *le sigh*

I tried eating very warm bread (fresh from the bread-maker!) the other night, and nothing nasty happened. Only it's difficult to cut while still hot and I had to clear up lots of crumbs. P'raps 'hot bread gives you indigestion, etc,' is an old wives tale told to stop kids making a mess.

Crumpets are a much better option, anyway.

I think it's one of those old wives' tales, put about in the days when bread really was the most important foodstuff. You can't cut hot bread in thin slices, so it's not economical to cut it whilst it's hot.

To add to the confusion, I was once told that children under a year old shouldn't eat scones or new potatoes because they would upset their stomachs.

Yet quite a lot of 'older' people where I live (45 and above) remember that they always used to go to the bakery, get a fresh, warm loaf - eat the centre while walking to the chip shop, get the chippy to fill the crusts with chips, add plenty of salt and vinegar.
Then eat the chips for lunch (using the bread as a bag) then finish off with the vinegar soaked bread
