Bend towards heaven, you tender brendas.

to familiarise yourself with the lore of this podcast.

I've just completed eating a Finnish arse sweet.

Just now, before I pressed record, I ate a Finnish

arse sweet. It's a very strange, licorish lassinge that comes from Finland. Turkish pepper,

they call it in Finland, but it has nothing to do with Turkey. If you're a regular listener,

you'll know that. About a month ago, I did a podcast about fishermen's friend sweets, because they

don't taste the same anymore. Fisherman's friend used to taste like a recently washed human anus,

and now they don't, and this upset me so I embarked upon a

journey to find out why do fisherman's friend's sweets taste differently? And I did a lot of research

and came to the conclusion that fisherman's friend had changed their licorice supplier.

They now purchased their licorice from a dried up salty sea in Uzbekistan. But after

I'd done that podcast, someone contacted me and said, have you tasted Turkish pepper? It's this

fucking sweet. It's a sweet they have up in Finland and it's disgusting. It's the ultimate in licorice arse flavour.

Now I'd never heard of Turkish pepper but if someone mails me and says,

Up in Finland they eat a sweet that's incredibly disgusting and it tastes like how you

describe fisherman's friend. Immediately I had to go online and try and buy some, so I did.

So a bag of Turkish pepper arrived into my studio.

They're like boiled sweets.

They're lozenges.
