The History Eaters is an infotainment series broadcast by SVT during autumn 2012. The British predecessor is called Supersizers go, a format owned by Fremantle. The essence of the series is cooking in six different historical eras in Sweden, and the hosts taste the best and the worst of Swedish food history. The hosts are Lotta Lundgren, a well-known food writer and Erik Haag, a Swedish comedian. The hosts are living for a week exactly the way people were living during a particular time in history. They try to get as close to every day life of that specific time in history as possible and they try to experience their way of living. The production also involved a number of experts and historians.
