Typical food served during the early 1800s, or Regency Era. ‘Removes‘ were the dishes removed from the table during a meal, usually the soup and fish, and then replaced by other dishes.

Clement Moore’s 1823 poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” may have describe the jolly old elf in detail, and Thomas Nast’s 1881 caricature of Saint Nick may have brought the image of Santa into focus, but not until the middle of the 20th century did one artist perfect the image of Santa and make it stick.
