Summary
Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.
This week I’m in Yorkshire talking to comedian and huge-cooking-enthusiast Peter Brush. We are out for lunch and he tells me all about wanting in another life to live in someone’s shed and do all their cooking. We get into the politics of ethical eating and politics full-stop. We skirt around hypochondria, the pitfalls of sugar and the circumstances in which he’d eat a person are amazing.
