During the period of the Industrial Revolution, England
Until the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, the food that was always fresh. With the Industrial Revolution came canned (= in scatola)goods, because people in the towns could not grow their own food and had to turn to (= rivolgersi a )stores. Meat and vegetables were packed into small tin cans (= scatole di latta) and hermetically sealed (=sigillate). So, food could be kept good longer than before.
Most of the food which was canned included beef (=carne arrostita), pork (=maiale), ham (=prosciutto), and apples, cherries, pumpkin (=zucca), squash (=zucchini), and beans (=fagioli).
Another innovation was cheap colour printing (=stampe colorate): colourful labels (=etichette) attracted and interested people in food. Unfortunately, also adulteration started in the same period and adding false substances became common in Industrial England: sand was put into the sugar; water increased the quantity of milk; vitriol was put into the beer and food colouring made food more attractive.
In 1820, Frederick Accum revealed in A Treatise on Adulterations of Food, and Culinary Poisons, this dangerous way to make food more attractive.
