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?)
