Dave and Si explore how the British have managed to create fantastic dishes even at times of war, when food is often scarce, and try their hand at rabbit stew and carrot cake.

Dave and Si continue their culinary journey through time as they celebrate British food. Here, they explore how the British have managed to create fantastic food even at times of war, when supplies are often scarce, and how some of Britain's favourite dishes have evolved out of the innovation and spirit of the people who lived through rationing.

With their unique banter and camaraderie, the hairy duo try their hand at rabbit stew and carrot cake, visit HMS Victory to find out what Nelson's men ate at sea and meet the army cooks to learn what troops on the frontline eat today.

Stunning food and fascinating stories told by the popular culinary duo.
