We're back for series two!

Did Oliver Cromwell really ban one of our favourite Christmas treats? Are pasties really Cornish? And is toast the best thing since sliced bread? History’s Greatest Dishes is back with its second series, serving up a fresh helping of food history.

Join HistoryExtra’s Emily Briffett and food historian Annie Gray as they tuck into a menu that includes dumplings and jerk chicken, custard, tea, mince pies and more. Expect culinary legends, half-baked myths and deliciously odd tales. Come hungry for history – there’s plenty to enjoy.

Episode 1 releases on Monday 2 November. Subscribers to HistoryExtra Plus can listen early and ad-free.
