The Supersizers...(2008)

The Supersizers is a British food history series that pairs restaurant critic Giles Coren with writer and comedian Sue Perkins as they travel back in time to eat like people did in different eras. Each episode explores a distinct period—from medieval banquets to Victorian feasts to 1970s dinner parties—recreating authentic meals and investigating how food, cooking, and eating habits shaped daily life. The pair's witty banter and genuine curiosity drive the show as they discover what ordinary people actually ate, how meals reflected social class, and what culinary disasters or delights awaited them. Part food documentary, part comedy travelogue, The Supersizers combines historical research with entertaining personalities, making it essential viewing for anyone curious about how our relationship with food has evolved across centuries.
