This was a weird one. I'm not sure what followers of this person are into about it, but it's a guy essentially reading Wikipedia entries about old food.

3/10

You'd probably be more in to it if you were interested in the history of food.

For me personally, I do find it interesting to consider what people did for food, in an age where you couldn't just pop to the supermarket and buy literally whatever you wanted, or select from a plentiful choice or restaurants and takeaways.

My girlfriend loves Jane Austen, so she would have been interested in this video in particular.

It's a well presented and well made video, even though the interest could be considered niche, as you put it, it saves me from needing to go through several pages of Wikipedia 8/10

Just trying to understand this here, but is kind of like a cosplay or renfair sort of interest in the material?

She just loves the books, bath buns were something she'd already heard about but never actually seen or had a recipe for. Where as I had never heard of them at all.
