I think people have to remember booze was much weaker in the past so they could drink and drink and drink... and drink, sue and giles are drinking booze with today's stronger alcohol content so of course they will be pissed out of their minds.
Some of the food on this show is absolutely repulsive. But alot looks so good. Even some of the things I wouldnt normally consider eating like all the game poultry etc, some of it looks very good. Dont know about the squirrells though, but I must admit Ive never tried!!
i love this show because i love history and food so this program is very interesting to see what people eat back then i hope they will be back for another series i love giles and sue their work so well together
I haven't seen an episode where they haven't been pissed out of their mind, and they seem to be drinking claret non-stop. But it is hilarious when they're drunk.
Seems like we Brits just loved to get hammered and binge on food from way back! So 10 pints and doner kebabs dont really seem so bad... Sue and Giles are hilarious.
Exactly, It's not modern yobs running amock, we're just keeping up with tradition!! Have that stuck-up old people who do nothin but complain about the 'youth of today'! :P
@rrlg1 its not just brits look at the irish! were know for getting drunk and here in america its litteraly a weekly pass time to get pissed :D so moral of the day were all a bunch of lushes whatever the country :D
Wait...there really is such a thing as a snipe?
In the US snipe hunts are a trick played on inexperienced hunters. The joke is at least in the US snipes don't exist.

11000 LUNCHES in its first year... That's 840 children- orphans- a month. And that's just for lunch. Imagine putting breakfast & dinner to that.

It's unfortunate that they called Angela Burdett-Coutts a 'do-gooder' rather than just a philanthropist
