The Bennets and The Bridgertons - Girl Dinner in Regency England

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down at the table with the Bennet girls from Pride and Prejudice, and the Bridgerton family from the Bridgerton series - to see what a day on a plate would have looked like for women in Regency England. I explore the basic meals of the servant class, the roasted delicacies of the landed gentry, and the weird and wonderful favourites of Queen Charlotte herself (turtle soup anyone?) Join me for my first Girl Dinner History podcast, I'd love to see you at the table! Sources: -              Fraser, Antonia. The Regency: A Social History. London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1979.
