Yes I enjoyed it as well - Sue did very well to eat that snail!

I saw this advertised and thought it looked interesting, but I was listening to 5Live the other day the critics rubbished it and put me off.
Did I miss something good? |

Thats one of the most enjoyable programmes ive watched for a long while! it was very interesting and not to mention funny!
I might try to go on a wartime ration diet, it seems the way forward! I'm definitely going to be asking my 96 yr old gran about some of those meals when i see her next!!! Can't wait for next weeks episode. |

Awful series name.
I assume this is a spin off from the edwardian one they did as part of the BBC4 edwardian season - did they do any more specials before this series? |

I have to say they were a little too 'off the leash' this time - hopefully they'll calm down.
It was like they were going for a culinary "Top Gear". Still a great programme though. G |

I think I'll avoid the snoek but it will probably turn up on The Great British Menu next series.

it wasn't as good as the edwardian blowout but it had some interesting bits. I still want to eat a sheep's heart even if i 'm a veggie.
Sue did really well she'll eat anything for this series by the look of it . grass , rotten fruit , snails.  She's up for anything , yum. The editing was a bit crap though, they showed part of the scene with the trifle at the start and then left that part of the meal out supposedly due to an air raid , what was that about.

They really looked as if they had the hots for each other on the show but I gather that Sue is, er, a confirmed spinster so I must have got the wrong impression. Thought it was quite fun.

Why are they called "the supersizers"?

Oh okay thanks. Yes, it does seem a little strange. They should have thought of another title.

I thought it was excellent. I laughed a lot at the gravy browning tights and the paraffin cake, and nearly puked at the snail. They kept saying Sue was a vegetarian - not sure if that was a joke but whether it was or not, respect to her for eating some truly revolting stuff.
