Ah, the inevitable cake quote...

BBC2's "The Supersizers Go..." upcoming series is going to do an episode on food in the French Revolution. Well, I presume they enjoyed the Regency gear so much last series that Giles Coren is desperate to get into tight trousers again (the two presenters dress up in various period gear and live the food-lifestyle for a week, then have their poo tested (oh, yes) to see how unhealthy or otherwise it makes them - yes, it's copied off that 'Supersize Me'film, but it's generally pretty entertaining, even though I loathe Master Coren. Glad to hear he gets beheaded in this one.) http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/eating_out/giles_coren/article5297874.ece

It's a good series - I wrote to the BBC a few months ago to ask if they were bringing it out on DVD but they didn't know! I've just found the the 'Regency'one on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1w-6aLlATQ&feature=related
there may be more episodes on youtube, too (god, I love youtube!) - the Elizabethan one had some great costumes...I love the episodes were they have to eat boiled cow head and other horrors.
