Lizzie Borden’s Soup Scene? What Did They REALLY Eat?
- What’s Inside:
- That weird soup scene.
- What history says they ate.
- Our thoughts!
We just saw something that got us talking on the BuzzMedia team. It’s about that new Lizzie Borden show on Netflix. You know, the one about the axe murders?
There’s a scene with soup. Celeriac soup, to be exact. And people are kinda… split. Some folks thought it was totally weird. Others are just curious.
The show gives us a peek into their home life. It’s got this certain dark, moody vibe. The colors feel… deliberate. Like they’re painting a picture of isolation.
But here’s the real question: did the Borden family even eat celeriac soup back then? Or was it just for the show’s drama?
History books say they ate pretty simple food. Lots of things from their garden. Vegetables were a big part of their meals. Stuff like potatoes, beans, and corn.
They also ate meat, but probably not super fancy. Think boiled meats or stews. Definitely not something super out there for the time.
So, celeriac? It’s a root vegetable. It was around. But was it a dinner table staple in their house? We’re not so sure.
The show is clearly trying to make a point. To show us the stuff that wasn’t in the newspapers. But sometimes, we wonder if they push it a little too far for artistic effect.
Our Take
Look, we love a good drama. And shows like this definitely get us thinking. But when it comes to historical events, we’re always curious about the truth versus the made-up stuff. That soup scene just feels like a moment where the lines got a little blurred for us.
