Love this podcast. Support this show through the ACAST supporter feature. It's up to you how much you give and there's noiky. I love eating as much as anything else in the world. But also, it sometimes brings me conflict, shame and all sorts of other things that are rubbish. It's complicated and I think fascinating. This is a conversation with an interesting soul,

not just about food, but about gobbling it up, or if you will, poovery.

This week I'm talking to a comedian from Exotic Blackburn,

Tess I'll probably know him off Radio 4,

always been on TV, on things like Man Like Mo Bean,

and he's about to start his next tour.

We eat a lot, and it's proper good warming grub too.

Meanwhile, we talk about fasting, faith,

and some potentially deadly pitfalls of a strictly patriarchal upbringing,

and I admit to almost getting myself killed as well during a carelessly carbless time.

Also, I remember during this episode my best story to date of something that I've consumed from the floor. Oh my fucking God. Um, and then

I guess it's... Oh, Tess. Mm. Mm. Mm. Oh, the smell. This is hilarious. This is too funny.

Steamy chips. I can't have fun.

This is impossible not to eat a chip.

Do it?

Mmm. Do you want mayonnaise or ketchup or anything?

I'm good. I've got lots of vinegar on there. I hope that's not offensive.

Oh, I love lots of vinegar.

Should I pour us some...

Yes.

So, you bought us this trip.

Or recording?
