One of the many joys of watchingThe Greatis seeing the weird and wonderful delicacies the 18th-century Russian elite enjoys.
And they do enjoy it, Nicholas Hoult, who plays Peter, confirmed at Vulture Festival.
The one on-set food Hoult didnt enjoy during season two?
But it was actually made out of like, lard and something else, so it wouldnt melt onscreen.
The crew eventually got real ice cream (chocolate for Hoult) from the Tesco by the London set.
Because I cant chew down lard and color it like Im loving it, Hoult explained.
Hoult also ate roasted squirrel during season two, meant to stand in for a rat in the scene.
And the actors commitment to making things look real didnt stop at the food.
So there was a special makeup Ziploc with WAP juice.
Catch that, and more TV magic, whenThe Greatseason two hits Hulu on November 19.
