What fruits should be brought to a Victorian tea party?
I'm trying to do research on what kind of fruits are appropriate to bring to a traditional tea party in 18th century England. I've heard some people say that it's mostly "berries", but what kind/s specifically? And is it limited exclusively to berries, or are there other fruits that the English / British people ate at their tea parties?
Thanks!
Victorian times where when the Brittish empire was expanding drematicaly, they were starting to discover new fruits from other area's in the world such as pineapples, banana's & chinese gooseberries (kiwi fruit). But it was very rare to be able to obtain these & it was also very expensive, royalty were the only ones who could afford to eat those regulary.
The types of fruit that was readily avaliable in those times are things like apples, pears, peaches, plums, necterines, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries raspberries ect...
