A Wobbly History of JELLY: From Elite Dining to Kids’ Parties and Back Again

Tony Robinson's Cunningcast

Feb 22 2024 • 49 mins

It's all going a bit wobbly in Cunningcast Towers as we are talking about the history of jelly. Tony wants to rescue jelly from its place as a children’s party food because there was a time when making jellies was an art form and took pride of place on the tables of the wealthy. He’s invited leading food historian Annie Gray and jellymonger-in-chief Sam Bompas to help him out.
