The Supersizers Eat… The French Revolution
BBC 2 Series in which restaurant critic Giles Coren and writer and comedian Sue Perkins experience the food culture of years gone by.
This time they go back to Revolutionary France in the 1780s. Donning wigs and corsets, Giles and Sue find out what King Louis 16th ate, why Marie Antoinette was so hated, and how the Revolution was instrumental in creating the first restaurant and first restaurant critic.
