EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this intriguing advertisement for T.K Belliss's Real Turtle Soup, a delicacy from the late 1800s. The image showcases a beautifully presented bowl of turtle soup, with a steaming mug of tea and a loaf of bread on the table, setting the scene for an elegant dinner. The advertisement promises that the soup is made from the finest imported live turtles, ensuring a delicious and authentic taste. Turtle soup was a popular dish during the 1800s, prized for its rich and nourishing flavor. It was considered a luxury item, often served at dinner parties and to invalids due to its easily digestible nature. For those who could not afford the real thing, a cheaper alternative was mock turtle soup, made from a calf's head. The advertisement, dated 1898, highlights the soup's affordability, making it an accessible luxury for many. The use of the term "guaranteed" adds to the trustworthiness of the product, and the promise of its delivery as a "perfect" dinner option adds to its allure. This advertisement offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the culinary trends and values of the late 1800s. It's a fascinating reminder of the history of food and the role it plays in our culture and traditions.
