Episode 2 – Appetite

Winston Churchill is known to have drunk copious quantities of alcohol and was accused of being an alcoholic. He developed a taste for Havana cigars while visiting Cuba, but did he actually smoke all those cigars? Churchill was keen on food and regarded the dinner table as an extension of his political and diplomatic activities. Sir David Cannadine explores Winston Churchill’s prodigious appetite for food, drink and cigars.
