Baked beans are a dish of haricot beans which have been baked, and then canned in a tomato sauce usually sweetened with sugar, sometimes with honey. The origins of baked beans is obscure, the people of Boston, Massachusetts claiming a heritage of slowly baking beans in molasses since the 17th century, other sources suggest that beans in tomato sauce are a native American dish or possibly an Italian dish.

By the 1950's baked beans were widespread and popular as a snack food throughout Britain.

Braise is a term in cooking to describe meat which is blanched and then stewed with fat bacon until tender. The process is also known as braising, and should be carried out with heat supplied both to the top and bottom of the pan, as distinct from stewing where heat is applied solely to the base of the pot. In the absence of an oven, braising was conducted in braising pans - known as a braisiere - which had a compartment for hot coals to be placed in the top, above the food, while the pan as a whole was placed over a fire or on a range.

Brandy is the liquor obtained by the distillation of wine, or of the refuse of the winepress. It is colourless at first, but usually derives a brownish colour from the casks in which it is kept or from colouring matters added to it. The best brandy is made in France, particularly in the Cognac district in the department of Charente. Much of the so-called brandy formerly sold in Britain and America was made there from more or less coarse whisky, flavoured and coloured to resemble the real article; and France itself also exported quantities of this stuff. Nearly all wine-growing countries make brandy. Brandy is often used medicinally as a stimulant, stomachic, and restorative, or in mild diarrhoea. In America various distilled liquors get the name of brandy, as cider brandy, peach brandy.

Bread is the flour or meal of grain kneaded with water into a tough paste and then baked. There are numerous kinds of bread, according to the ingredients and methods of preparation, but they may all be divided into one of two groups: fermented, leavened, or raised and unfermented, unleavened or not raised. The latter is the simplest, and no doubt was the original kind, and is still exemplified by biscuits, the oat-cakes of Scotland, the corn-bread of America, the dampers of Australia.
It was probably by accident that the method of bringing the paste into a state of fermentation was found out, by which its toughness is almost entirely destroyed, and it becomes porous, palatable, and digestible. All the cereals are used in making bread, each zone using those which are native to it. Thus maize, millet, and rice are used for the purpose in the hotter countries, rye, barley, and oats in the colder, and wheat in the intermediate or more temperate regions. In the most advanced countries bread is made from wheat, which makes the lightest and most spongy bread.
The fermentation necessary for the ordinary traditional loaf-bread was generally produced by means of leaven or yeast, and the first thing to be done towards the manufacture of a batch of bread was, in the language of the baker, to stir a ferment. For this purpose water, yeast, flour, and some potatoes mashed and strained through a colander, were mixed together and worked up into a thin paste, in which, on being left at rest for a time, an active fermentation set in, the carbon dioxide generated causing the mixture to rise and fall. In about three hours the fermenting action was at rest, and the mixture could then be used, but it was not generally used until at the end of four or five hours. The next operation was called setting the sponge. This consisted in stirring up the above ferment well, adding some lukewarm water, and mixing in as much flour as would make the whole into a pretty stiff dough, which received the name of the sponge. The sponge being kept in a warm place began to ferment in the course of an hour or so, heaving and swelling up until at last the imprisoned carbon dioxide burst from the mass, which then sank or collapsed. This was called the first sponge, and from it the bread could be made; but the fermentation was often allowed to proceed, and the rising and falling to go on a second time, producing what the bakers called the second sponge.
The next process in traditional bread making was called breaking the sponge, and consisted in adding to it the requisite quantity of water and salt, the sponge being thoroughly mixed up with the water. The remainder of the total quantity of flour intended to be employed was gradually added, and the whole was kneaded into a dough of the due consistency. The dough being allowed to remain in the trough until it rose or gave proof, it was then weighed off into lumps, which were shaped into loaves and placed in the oven. In the process of baking they swelled to about double their original size.
The chemical changes which took place during the traditional process may be explained in the following way: An average quality of flour consists of gluten 12, starch 70, sugar 5, gum 3, water 10; total, 100. When water is added to the flour, in the first operation of baking, it unites with the gluten and starch, and dissolves the gum and sugar. The yeast or barm added acts now upon the dissolved sugar, especially at an elevated temperature, and produces the vinous fermentation, forming alcohol and setting free carbon dioxide as a consequence of the transformation of the elements of the sugar. The gaseous carbon dioxide is prevented from escaping by the gluten of the mass, and if the mixing or kneading has been properly performed it remains very equally diffused through every part of the dough. The alcohol and carbon dioxide are carried into the oven with the dough, and the former partially escapes, while the latter gas, being expanded by the heat, produces the lightness and sponginess of the loaf. It may be produced in bread-making by other means than fermentation, as by some of those well-known preparations called 'baking powders,' which usually contain bicarbonate of potash or of soda, with tartaric acid.
Aerated bread is so called because made with aerated water - that is, water strongly impregnated with carbon dioxide under pressure, the dough being also worked up under pressure and caused to expand by the carbon dioxide when the pressure is removed.
The bread eaten in the West is almost all leavened bread, the dough should be left to rise naturally - a process which takes at least six hours. During the 1960s it was found that by adding enzymes to and rapidly working the dough in high speed mechanical mixers the rising process could be cut to twenty minutes, thereby greatly increasing the quantity of bread which could be produced, though the finished product lacks the taste, texture and wholesomeness of real leavened bread. This process is known as the Chorleywood bread process or CBP. CBP processed bread accounts for almost all the bread sold in Britain in the 21st century, and has been widely criticised for its health implications, and for not revealing to consumers the additives contained in the bread.

Brewing is the process of extracting a saccharine solution from malted grain and converting the solution into a fermented and sound alcoholic beverage called ale or beer.
The preliminary process of malting (often a distinct business to that of brewing) consists in promoting the germination of the grain for the sake of the saccharine matter into which the starch of the seed is thus converted. The barley or other grain is steeped for about two days in a cistern and then piled in a heap, or couch, which is turned and re-turned until the radicle or root, and acrospire or rudimentary stem, have uniformly developed to some little extent in all the heap of grain. This treatment lasts from seven to ten days, by which time the grain has acquired a sweet taste; the life of the grain being then destroyed by spreading the whole upon the floor of a kiln to be thoroughly dried.
At this point begins the brewing process proper, which in breweries is generally as follows: The malt is crushed or roughly ground in a malt-mill, whence it is carried to the mashing-machine, and there thoroughly mixed with hot water. The mixture is now received by the mash-tun - a cylindrical vessel with a false perforated bottom held about an inch from the true one. In the mash-tun the useful elements are extracted from the malt in the form of the sweet liquor known as wort, and the tun, therefore, is fitted with an elaborate system of revolving rakes for thoroughly mixing the malt with hot water.
The mixing completed, the mash-tun is covered up and allowed to stand for about three hours, when the taps in the true bottom are opened and the wort or malt-extract run off. The wort being drained into a copper the hops are now added, and the whole boiled for about two hours, the boiling, like the addition of hops, tending to prevent acetous and putrefactive fermentation. When sufficiently boiled the contents of the copper are run into the hop-back - a long, rectangular vessel with a false bottom about 20 cm from the true bottom. The hot wort leaving the spent hops in the hop-back runs through the perforations in the false bottom and thence into the cooler - a large flat vessel where the worts are cooled to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
From the cooler the liquor is admitted to the refrigerator - a shallow rectangular vessel, which reduces the temperature to almost that of the cold water, or about 58 degrees. The worts are next led by pipes into the large wooden fermenting buns, where yeast or barm is added as soon as the wort begins to run in from the refrigerator. During the operation of fermentation, by which a portion of the saccharine matter is converted into alcohol, the temperature rises considerably, and requires to be kept in check by means of a coil of copper piping with cold water running through it lowered into the beer. When the fermentation has gone far enough, and the liquor has been allowed to settle, the beer becomes comparatively clear and bright, and may be run off and filled into the trade casks or into vats.
The various beers manufactured from grain have sometimes been classified under the three heads of beer (including lager), ale, and porter; but at the present day this classification will not hold, as beer, though it occasionally may have a specific meaning, is often used as the general name for all malt liquors. Both terms belong to the early or Anglo-Saxon period of the English language, but in more modern times the term beer seems to have been applied more especially to malt liquor flavoured with hops, wormwood, or other bitters.
Ale was originally made from barley malt and yeast alone, and the use of hops was first introduced in Germany, which has longe been a great brewing country. One of the kinds of German beer widely known and consumed since about 1900 is lager beer - that is, store beer, the name being given to it because it is usually kept for four to six months (at a low temperature) before being used. In brewing it the fermentation is made to go on rather slowly and at a low temperature. Much lager beer is now made in America. Among the most celebrated beers are the English pale ales brewed at Burton-on-Trent. The excellence of the Burton ale depends partly on the water used, which is all drawn from wells, and contains carbonates and sulphates of lime and magnesia in large quantities, and partly on the method of brewing.
The English bitter beer traditionally made for home consumption was less bitter than that which was sent abroad, at least as brewed by the best brewers; but a good part of the beer sold under this name is of poor quality and would have little flavour were it not for the hops. Porter, now more often known as stout, which was formerly very largely made in London, as also in Dublin, is of a very dark colour, this colour being obtained by the use of a certain proportion of malt subjected to a heat sufficient to scorch or blacken it.
The manufacture of ale or beer is of very high antiquity. Herodotus ascribes the invention of brewing to Isis, and it was certainly practised in Egypt. Xenophon mentions it as being used in Armenia, and the Gauls were early acquainted with it. Pliny mentions an intoxicating liquor made of corn and water as common to all the nations of the west of Europe, and in England ale-booths were regulated by law as early as the 8th century. A rude process of brewing is carried on by many uncivilized races; thus chica or maize beer is made by the South American Indians, millet beer by various African tribes, etc.

Butter, a fatty substance produced from milk, especially cows' milk. When the milk is first drawn this fatty matter is disseminated through it in minute clear globules inclosed in membranous sacs or bags which in a short time rise to the surface and form cream. The cream is then skimmed off to undergo the operation of churning, which by rupturing the sacs effects a separation of the cream into a solid called butter and a liquid called butter-milk, the latter consisting of whey and other caseous matter. In many cases, however, in order to save time, the churning is done before the cream has separated from the milk, and machines for effecting the process of separation are frequently used.
The quality of the butter depends much upon the treatment of the cream at this stage. Its temperature in warm weather ought to be between 53 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit; in colder weather several degrees higher. If too cold the fat is hard and does not coalesce, and if too warm it becomes semi-liquid. The butter, being formed into lumps, is washed well in cold water, and kneaded until all the butter-milk has been expelled.
Butter of good quality has a faint sweet odour and a soft delicate flavour. Its composition varies somewhat according to the way in which it is made. It has usually from 80 to 90 per cent of pure fat, the rest consisting of casein, water, and salt. The water should not amount to more than 10 per cent, nor the salt to more than 2 per cent of the whole weight, but butter was frequently adulterated by the excess of these two elements.
Before refrigeration, where the butter was to be preserved only for a short time, keeping it in a cool place and covering it with pure water daily was often sufficient. More certain methods were to use water mixed slightly with tartaric acid or vinegar, or to salt it lightly, thus making what was known as powdered butter. Butter which was to be thoroughly cured, so as to keep for some length of time, was usually prepared with from 5 to 8 per cent of common salt. In preserving butter it was important to exclude the air as much as possible. When exported to warm climates it was packed in 1 lb. or 2 lb. bottles, with mouths about rwo inches across, and fitted with glass stoppers and cemented so as to be air-tight. Or hermetically sealed tins were sometimes used.

Butterine was the former name for margarine (artificial butter). It was first prepared from beef suet, milk, butter, and vegetable oil, and by the use of colouring matters it can be made to resemble butter of any given brand; but although quite wholesome when well made, it has not the delicate flavour and aroma of the highest-class butters. In Britain, by an act passed in 1887, butterine and all artificial butters had to be sold under the name of margarine, and stringent regulations were put in force to prevent their fraudulent substitution for real butter.
