The BBC did two different series titled Supersizers Go and Supersizers Eat, which featured the history of food in various historical periods. I downloaded them from a UK torrent website. They are very entertaining, and although I had to turn my head at times because I couldn't deal with the preparation of some of the food, I really enjoyed these programs.

Here's the Wikipedia page which discusses both series:

Supersizers

Here's a link to a short YouTube video featuring the cook preparing eels for a meal from the Restoration Period:
