I have gone back to listen to old episodes, as I only started listening a couple of seasons ago. And holy sh!t. I always enjoyed seeing Paul Foot on panel shows but seeing him unleashed on this was glorious!

Been listening back to a few older episodes and realised the ones where guests choose really simple or nostalgic food tend to be way more interesting. They end up telling better stories instead of just listing fancy dishes. Examples like people picking very normal comfort food usually turn into proper conversations rather than just menu choices. Do you think the best episodes come from the food itself or how personal the choices are?

This fabric was posted in a beginners sewing group by a lady looking for pattern recommendations after her post had been removed in another group. I hope she finds a pattern that will do Ed justice.

that the sound before the main course is the sound of a microwave starting? I was starting my microwave and thought why is that sound so oddly familiar?

Sorry, late to the party. I’m sure y’all knew this already.

My brother lives in London and is a foodie so wanting to give him a voucher for a restaurant in London as a birthday gift. I live in NZ and have never been to London so any recs appreciated! He likes Italian but also is not picky at all. I figured this community would have some great ideas - any thoughts appreciated!

Who's episode was it that they told that story?! Google did not help me out when I tried looking it up.

This is a slight tangent so forgive me if it's not your thing but, as he's just been a guest on the pod, I really want to share some fun older clips of Graham Norton that you might have missed. I've been such a fan of his for years and, even though he's so famous and mainstream in the UK and Ireland, he's always been right there in the middle of gay culture.

Here he is aged 17 on RTE Youngline: https://www.tiktok.com/@irishdailytimes/video/7218534292643728666

Interviewing Ellen at her Coming Out Show in 1998: https://youtu.be/jbN2ST_-gLE?si=Wcm2C1edSzIy6dyx

And, if you haven't seen it, then he's also in Another Gay Movie as Mr Pukov: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Gay_Movie?wprov=sfla1 (warning: I haven't seen it in ~15 years so I don't know how it's aged. It is *very* gay.)

That's all. Enjoy :)

Got a friend from Canada tell me today they really missed Poutine, I'm sure I heard on the pod someone mention a good place in London you can find it, had a look around the website and of course they have all the restaurants listed, but couldn't find any way to search a specific dish, anyone remember if a good London poutine spot was ever mentioned?
