Summary
A funny British English conversation about food, cooking & eating habits, with my friend Martin. Why is British food a bit of a joke? Do French people have the right to criticise British cuisine? What is marmite, and why don't Brits just throw it away? What did Luke eat for lunch every single day during secondary school? And, who would be Luke's dream dinner party guests? All that and more, in a conversation full of tangents, recipes, rants and apologies, and a nice range of vocabulary expressions to spot. Enjoy! PDF Transcript available.

| 0:52.3 | experiences of teaching English and living in different countries |
| 0:55.7 | and how difficult it is to order ice cream in the Czech Republic, |
| 1:01.3 | because the word for ice cream in Czech is, like, really hard for an English person to pronounce. |
