Culinary historian and writer Regula Ysewijn chats about the crazy British tradition of boar's head, writing the Downton Abbey Christmas Cookbook, and how Charles Dickens saved Christmas; and former royal chef Carolyn Robb talks about the unfair tradition of "Bad British food" and how Christmas makes up for it, the rewards and challenges of being a royal chef, and how King Charles was ahead of his time.
