The Supersizers Go Restoration Part 3

[TheDawnybeck]

I think that beautiful French man could persuade me to eat anything.

[EllenRebecca3]

I've got to tell you, after watching 'Supersizers Go' and 'Supersizers Eat', I'm off meat forever.

[shariotoflove]

to be honest, they did eat sallets in the 17th Century so i dont know why theyre not eating vegetables.

[Smallpotato1965]

@shariotoflove The problem with this sort of show is that they use recipes from the time, but those recipes were for *special* dishes for *special* occasions. It would be as if they showed what 'those weird 21th century folks' ate by dishing up nothing but dishes by Heston Blumenthal as an example what everyone ate.

[shariotoflove]

@Smallpotato1965 thats a good point. they do have a puritan meal on this, and its not too dissimilar to the sunday roast we have today. i suppose what the average folk ate back then wouldnt make great tv.

[storageheater]

@shariotoflove They made it more clear in interviews at the time this was aired, but yes - they did focus on the 'rich' food for exactly that reason. Poor people always starved or ate simple food (or, as they sometimes mention in banquets, they ate what was left over.) I don't think it's often meant as 'special occasion' food - it seems that for the richest, they would hold banquets all the time (I guess they didn't have a lot else to do!)

[Baslak88]

I'm getting a headache just watching them eat and drink so much.

[TheMsdissed]

2:06 Sue's Face. Priceless. It's like that old dude just gave her a firm slap on the arse. :))

[TheMsdissed]

piling up the meat like that can't be good-- sanitation wise i mean.

[esteff22]

Why didn't ppl just boil water?! Did they not know that was supposed to work?

[TheAnimalsbornfree]

@esteff22

I TOO HAVE OFTEN WONDERED WHY THEY DIDN'T JUST BOIL WATER???

[Marilu2590]

@TheAnimalsbornfree have u ever seen what drain water looks like? That's how water from the river was then...ALL of it...boiling water wouldn't have been enough, as bigger particles would have stayed in the water anyways and its color would be the same...

[sphoney]

@esteff22 Yep, they just didn't know. They knew alcoholic drinks didn't make them sick, but they didn't really know why... or maybe it was the other way around and they knew water made them sick and didn't know why.

We take knowing about germs and disease pretty much for granted these days, but they didn't know about germs and sterilisation and stuff for another 200 years.. or thereabouts.

Always crazy to me how things I was taught in first school would have been revolutionary at one time.

[esteff22]

@sphoneyyou are right, and I share your facination, its very interesting how the things we see as ovious now were not allways like that

[Rowan07001484]

sue looks like some sort of hollywood serial killer with that mask on. 

[Rowan07001484]

ive never tasted pike, I wonder how it tastes.

[polyphasicpianist]

Larded Pigeon. Yum.

[uhhhallie]

this seems to be the worst diet i've ever seen! eugh...

[Alishhh4]

''I've heard of nose to tail eating, but all I've eaten is noses and tails - what about the rest of the animal?''

[SinclairisCool]

"This is the latest thing from the new world, they call it the very fast rotating windmill"

hahahahaha! sue cracks me up!

[GoblinsFriend]

Love the 17th-century version of Gary Numan's Cars. Fuuuuneee!

[mzcrazyhunnii]

Who was the idiot who gave this a thumbs down?

[TheNeonAngel]

although this show is very interesting and educational i dont like the amount of food wastage that goes with it!

[craftylaura]

@TheNeonAngel Would you eat those leftovers?

[StukovM1g]

@craftylaura I would. >:)

[totallyluminous]

@TheNeonAngel, you have to bear in mind how much food wastage of the meat industry in general. At least here the offal and nasty bits of the animal is being cooked and tried. What do you think normally happens to the chicken heads you see being wasted? A family of four expecting to buy four chicken breasts has the same issue. A lot of tv is trickery, I can guarantee the quantities of food arent as great as you might expect. There are people employed to essentially 'bulk up' dishes like this

[skoolboyification]

sues face at 0:49 is priceless

[lamenzies]

I love the sauce bottles on the tables. Some HP might've helped the pasties go down a bit better.

[ahlam33]

The whole tongue looked like a cooked baby Alien.

[mazzakl]

It's interesting that in Restoration they claim ice cream is the brand new thing, but they also claim this in the Regency episode too.

[salemgirl123]

oh gosh.. at the end their.. like. at... 9:42.. it looks like baby poo... or.. something yu pass out when yur bum sick... just ew sorry

[jfmeadows]

@5:04 string version of "cars" by gary newmann, GENIUS!

[electricrussell]

I don't understand the point of the guests on Supersizers. They seem to be chosen because they are historians, food critics and chefs. But in the end the shows are edited so that they contribute nothing other than being an audience for Giles and Sue's funny banter.

Strange, it would be nice to actually hear what they have to contribute from time to time.

[ToManifest]

The sad thing is people are still dying from the lack of clean drinking water just like the people in the restoration era.

We can send all the nutritious food in the world to the people who need it, but without clean drinking water none of the food we send will matter.

In the US we tend to forget about this or do not like to hear it. People are dying because they can't stop pooping and it kills them through dehydration.

A horrible, yet entirely preventable way to die.

[ravendarkwater]

Thank God it was mock vension!!!!

[maltesercat]

i love the dress sue is wearing at the beginning!

[RockUrSocksOff100]

they get drunk alot on this show

[NetMoverSitan]

@RockUrSocksOff100 not so much in the Wartime edition as it was hard to get in Britain in World War 2.

[humpingbird]

@RockUrSocksOff100

They get to drink on the job

[madevaserafina]

@RockUrSocksOff100 : They'd need too! So much disgusting fare.

[Herobelle]

I like the strings version of Cars!

[keempoo]

Woops, sorry. Title changed to "Part 3".

[LongLiveAndros]

Isnt this part 3? :)

Thankyou for uploading :D
