Chris, we're having a bit of a food theme in this episode.

OK, because we're going to be joined later on by Henry Dimbleby who was

hmm, it's food czar and used to run the restaurant chain Leon.

Yes, and which explains why we have for those listening rather than watching a range of food

stuff on the table. Yeah, we're not going to make them do a recipe. It's not like

that it's a pretty steady trick for a bar. What can you make out of a chocolate cake,

a lump of mature cheddar and two liters of semi-to-gim milk? You know what you can make with it,

a quiz of you about the inflation rate for all those different foodstuffs because that is a thing

that's keeping inflation high. And so our friends at Cantar who monitor the newscast basket of goods

of key items gave us an update this week. How much do you think that cheddar cheese has gone up

by in a year? So we're quite big fans of cheddar cheese at home, so I'm aware of this going into

the old basket and it's more, isn't it? It's quite a bit more than these kind of headline

rates that we hear about 30%. In a year. Right, that delicious kitten, I'm not sure how delicious

that cake looks after these lights, that cake. How much do you think that's going to be?

No, it looks pretty good to me. I reckon, again, with Sweet Tooth family, that that's gone up but not

by as bigger percentages of the cheese. 22%. But again, massively more than the numbers that we hear

about. And then I'm not going to give the game away, but the milk that's gone up the most.
