The Supersizers Go Victorian 2

[oddbarrows]

And why are they cooking everything on modern equipment?! The food they are eating tastes -completely- different than period food.

[oddbarrows]

All I can think, they should have brought in Ruth Goodman (from the Victorian/Edwardian Farm series) to do all the cooking.

"No sex please we're british"

Miranda quote :D

[ginastarke2]

@candypinkification it was actually Lady Alice Hillingdon. Wife of 2nd Baron Hillingdon. 1912.

She said:-I am happy now that George calls on my bedchamber less frequently than of old. As it is, I now endure but two calls a week, and when I hear his steps outside my door I lie down on my bed, close my eyes, open my legs and think of England.

[salemgirl123]

..thats one huge sterotype.... that victorians were deprived sexless weirdos... but behind closed doors..they were..insane!O_O. sex maniacs!.porn. incest orgies yu name it they did it..there is even a rumor about queen victoria telling her daughter (( for her wedding night)) '' just lie back and think of england' which isnt true! she would often give nude paintings to her husband....so..yeah..=w= bad research there!

[HalfMaskedMisfit]

After seeing this stuff, the popularity of Mrs. Lovett's people-meat pies is slightly less surprising.

[drewcox010101]

and feet

[drewcox010101]

honestly, what the hell did the cook do with the good parts of the cow, instead they're just left with the head, brains and ears.

[sslohier]

that cows head makes me so incredibly sad and disturbed

[3daysgracerok]

Giles needs a hug

[xenigirl]

... and this is how the Victorian zombie epidemic started.

[felidaes]

I feel for sue in the dress.

[whowantsabighug]

Was i the only one sitting in true-British appauled-silence as they scooped out the brain?

[FutureDirector171]

Love Sue's line at 3:12: "Ms. Beaton says that cleanliness is next to Godliness and two doors down is punctuality!" Sue just makes me laugh!!!!

[FutureDirector171]

@FutureDirector171 "Sully these lily white hands with the devils own work!" LOL

[FutureDirector171]

"For me that big old head just says, 'Cower. Look at me, Macho man.'" Aw, Sue.....

[downunderbrutha]

@FutureDirector171 i don't get the gag??? help!!! i think shes so funny i just missed this one!?

[FutureDirector171]

@downunderbrutha What gag?

[downunderbrutha]

@downunderbrutha when she says and two doors down is punctuality?? the other lady cracks up but i dont get the gag???

[monobrow638]

Why do they have chefs on this program? They should just employ surgeons and be done with it!!

[Imnothecrazyone]

I love the way the announcer says "claret" lol

[viattomat88]

@Imnothecrazyone

Me too! He says it so richly, so pleasurably, so... so... Oh, I lack the words!

[NarukamiTenjin]

You want some brains? You might need some.

[Verrie77]

yuk..brain :(

[ahlam33]

They needed some serious hot sauce back then. Im not sure about the boiled cow's head.

[bastianskaye]

@ahlam33 i almost wonder if she wasn't meant to serve it... i'd love to read the actual recipe. it wasn't just to cook the brains, since it looks as thought they were cooked more later. ??? i just can't think of a reason for it.

[ahlam33]

@bastianskaye I think the cow's head did'nt come out as she planned (happens alot) and she had to serve it. I can say it would not be The Supersizers if they weren't cooking up something bizarre and on the edge of disgusting like honey fried mice, duck's tongues, cheese & maggots or my personal favorite from the Restoration Era: any odd bit of some animal thrown into a pie. The cow's head would have been better looking if they have boiled it then roasted it and served up it with hot sauce. Lol.

[bastianskaye]

@ahlam33 oh, i know. some of those recipes can be a little vague, and each oven differs even now. perhaps their hobs, then, wouldn't have been so fierce. (it would depend on how long the fire beneath had been on. cooking with a woodstove is tricky, and it doesn't translate well). animals were different, too.

i know the recipes are odd... it's why i love the show, too. some of the foods are odd, and some are amazing. it's the only show that i've ever seen that makes me WANT to try oysters. :-)

[ahlam33]

@bastianskaye Yes, shows like this give me the urge to cook something new or they make me hungry. I actually wanted to cook some curry after watching this.

[thrivesurvive]

Could the cook have come any harder when she split the calves head open and exposed the brains. I can't watch another moment of this. I may vomit.

[Hotshotter3000]

Fun fact: Brains have more cholesterol than any other part of the animal. Its also around 60? Fat.

[devourerofbabies]

"I think the flavour will be incomparable"

"I'm sure. We won't be able to find anything to compare it to, certainly. Thank you."

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahaha

[ifilson]

This episode makes me want to become a vegetarian. 

[devourerofbabies]

@ifilson I am a vegetarian. Let me assure you that the calf's head would only be even more ghastly.

[xevanescencex4evax]

the man is really good looking and they are both really funny :P

(:

[tnecklover]

I have not laughed so hard in ages!

[iorogutu]

"Soil this really white hands with the devil's own work"...co-me-dy!!!!

[salemgirl123]

@iorogutu ''lady'' white hands..

[iorogutu]

@salemgirl123 Thanks!!!

[iorogutu]

@ThisSongsShit Hahaha...I guess I not only speak with an accent, I hear with an accent as well ;)

[ThisSongsShit]

@iorogutu It was quite hard to catch first time.. I also thought it was well funny. but when I saw salemgirl123 try to correct you LoL I couldnt resist being the smarty pants :p

[iorogutu]

@ThisSongsShit LOL!!!!

[RedRoosterRoad]

@iorogutu

no she said "sully these lilly white hands"

[iorogutu]

@RedRoosterRoad Thanks :)

[monkfan72]

Maybe the cook's not doing it right...a cook in those days would have been trained by an older cook. I can't believe that every other era had nasty food. 

[crackfiendables]

lol

[merchant2]

they are hilarious!

[Tidde]

"That's the face I know from my love making!"

[nollafyzzil]

I feel slightly queezy at that head.

[ravendarkwater]

I think at the end of every period they do, they should get their liver checked to see what all the booze does to them!!!!!!

[nollafyzzil]

I know, they drink SO much.

[XrawwwwrX]

Haha, Giles's face when the chef brings the head out.

[xmoshbabyx]

tipsey cake xD

[yohaneuano4]

Why does Giles act like such a woman sometimes? Is it to please his female fans by not appearing macho, whilst he does all his "in character" stuff for fun? Obviously, there were people who ate those brains and ears and didn't suffer; in fact, they probably laughed it off

[RockUrSocksOff100]

oh jesus that head nearly made me vomit!

[YouMeAndThePuppets]

You think that's bad, I've dissected a pig's head!

[RockUrSocksOff100]

bloody hell! i bet that was soo gross, why did you dissect a pig's head?

[YouMeAndThePuppets]

It was in an A-level biology lesson, I say I dissected, I just tried not to throw up while my friend did most of the dissecting!

[RockUrSocksOff100]

The thought of doing something like that makes me cringe so much. I would've done what you did, let other people do it. How many were you in the class? cos there must have been alot of pig heads

[YouMeAndThePuppets]

There was only six of us and we had half the head between three, so only one pig bit the dust in the name of science. The smell was the worst bit!

[RockUrSocksOff100]

God i can imagine! Yuck! I'm glad i'm not doing biology.

[linkinparkingra]

For a red cross demonstration we had to cut up cows hearts, eyes and the respiratory system! Was savage! We were only 12! We turned the eyes inside out!

Chemistry is amazing!

[avalon2468]

@linkinparkingra thank you if i wasnt sick after seeing the caves head and ears i am now after that disturbing story :)

[linkinparkingra]

@avalon2468

Your very welcome. Sharing is caring as they say. I did my part to ruin people's dinner. ;)

But really, it was cool. Can't beat a bit of gore. : P

[Tulipso]

"That's the face I know from my lovemaking" :-D

[bastianskaye]

i know what they're saying is true about cooking the spices first to take the rawness out. but i have to say, i've seen curries prepared worse than that.

i LOVE the "victorian" expression on Sue's face. the glassy stare and the slight furrow. "that's the face i know from my lovemaking."

[rogan15]

Well Said, well said 1:36

[peachydarl]

god that head is horrendous

[TalaRayne]

frugality in the kitchen. we need to bring this back! people think it is gross when I eat chicken feet or duck head or fish head soup >:( waste not want not!

[avalon2468]

do your ever notice how much claret they drink?

[Ineedacig]

they always get really wankered on this program.

[darkwartexx]

@Ineedacig

Why do you think they did this show as long as they did?

It certainly wasn't for the health benefits.

[HV1399]

@Ineedacig gotta love it though lol

[Hannah071293]

@Ineedacig it's cause they're british :D haha

[thesanantoniokid]

"OOHHH, and it's all clanky!" That's a restaurant critic talking there.
