Longridge Walking Group at The Church Cottage Museum, Broughton

 

Barry Fitzgibbon invited a select number from the Longridge Circle Walking Group to spend an evening feasting in Victorian style at The Cottage Museum. The food was varied from "Preston" shrimps and salmon to hams with pickles and soup accompanied by soda bread. The main course was a magnificent Game Pie accompanied by a Preston delicacy known as "Butter" Pie.
 After a tour of the museum dessert was served consisting of Custard Pie, Jelly, Blancmange, Scones with homemade jam and local cream, not forgetting the Goosnargh Cakes.
To round off the night our hosts served Aniseed Balls, Coltsfoot and Cinder Toffee all allegedly favourites in Victorian Preston.
