2016 10 24 Can you spot the mistake in this photo?

Back to our visit to Ross Farm, Nova Scotia, where they recreate the cooper, the blacksmith, the school house and the kitchen from the 1800's. (must check the date). The cooks were baking on an old range and we all had a taste of their wonderful cookies. This pot of beans was just out of the oven and I saw it being transported on the horse and cart to the cooper and blacksmith for their lunch.

I was processing this image when I noticed something that I am sure would not have been an item of cookware back then. Can you spot it?
Yes I think I can but I won't say what as I don't want to spoil it for anyone else. It is very prominent though

Quite a modern liquid measuring system there;)

Hate it when someone says that. Now I think I can see something I shouldn't, but I keeping quiet really out being completely wrong and emaressed. What I will say is that's a hell of a lot of beans!

The Pyrex jug? How lovely to be in Nova Scotia, such a lovely province, so fresh and green and the people so welcoming.

Wonderful photo, but big *whoops* to the measuring cup (that you seem to not even have in England!?!) and probably the stainless steel bowl to its left as well! (This reminds me of how much fun it is to catch something amiss in a movie!)

@Weezilou Yes it's pyrex measuring jug. The jugs in England don't have the Cup measurement which is what I wanted. So funny how I never noticed these things until I was processing the shot.

A lovely detailed shot, yes the Pyrex dish dies look a little modern!

Cool image, Pam. I love "living history" museums! That measuring cup is peeking in from the 21st century, though!

The pyrex jug! Haha, so funny. Otherwise everything else looks old.

Love the shot. Spotted the Pyrex jug too. We have jugs here with cup measurements on them. Interesting.

Pyrex jug, I have one just like it.
October 25th, 2016  
Haha!! Saw the pyrex right away (AFTER I read your narrative). So funny they would have that there as everything else is true to period, it seems. They can't love that you have this documentation in the photo!!

Great shot! But the measuring cup sticks out like a sore thumb LOL.
October 25th, 2016  
Yep I got the pyrex jug too!
