on Edwardian food
Edwardian food was rich and plentiful
The Edwardian episode and the first of Supersizers discovers the food of the time of King Edward (1901-1910) and we are looking at a plethora of fatty, high protein food. Breakfast alone is eggs, bacon, sausages, kedgerie and so much more.
Hosts Sue Perkins and Giles Coren, dressed in Edwardian garb, experience the diets and fads and even the style of mastication that took place in that of our ancestors.
It was a time of five meals a day and even concerns about obesity.
Having tea was a graceful event where afternoon tea was potted shrimps and drop scones while it seemed conversation was restricted to how the 'sewing was going'.
