    McDonald’s?
    Great program on bitter greens and health. So why is the BBC Food Programme hosting ads from one of the most destructive companies in the world, and the promoter of the least nutritious food in the galaxy, McDonald’s? Are sponsors for healthy food that hard to find? McDonald’s is unsustainable, drives the rampant practice of monoculture, pushes deforestation of the Amazon, and is the cause of so much obesity in the US and the world. Why not get Exxon to sponsor you? Their effect on the world is as bad as McDonald’s. What’s the difference? BBC do better, please. It’s sickening to hear an ad for greasy Big Macs in the middle of a great show about the health benefits of bitter foods. What a bitter pill!

    My oven is heated with propane, a very expensive gas. So too, I’m currently looking for a new gas stove, costs run around $1500. new. I’ve always had a slow cooker and microwave, now I’ve added an a air fryer and a pressure cooker, all run on electricity. The monies and time spent is amazingly efficient. I only spent about $50. for each, new, very little in my book and I use them all regularly if not daily. I purchased the ‘Insta Pot’ brand and have been happy with my purchases. Love your pod. Note: Air fryers go up to 11 gallon size…

    Diverse Subjects, Skip the Vocal Fry
    Interesting variety of subjects. I enjoyed the topics on chefs, blue fin tuna. The interview questions are great open-ended ones. I had to skip some of the 2018 episodes because host, a British woman, tends to have this intolerable dragging vocal fry.

    Interesting and Enjoyable
    Don't have to be British to enjoy this podcast! But where's Sheila Dillon lately? She's my favorite, and it feels like it's been ages since she's done one of these. Hope that's just a temporary thing......
  • Andigol
    So interesting
    Loving the subject matter and everything related this is informative interesting and quite entertaining, so many discussions about such a variety of subjects, look forward to each new episode

    Saffron - I learned so much!
    Thank you for this episode. Loved all the historical, botanical and even a little political aspect to what we know and don't know about saffron. I will now launch into your episode on turmeric.
  • Perplexyd
    Excellent
    This podcast gets me through the day, it’s fantastic. I love learning about the history of specific foods and how people are cooking with them or preserving culture. This podcast is a total gem. The episodes on oysters, turmeric, and citrus in particular are favorites of mine. 10/10 recommend
  • cartoonPirate
    My favourite!
    One of my favourite podcasts. I’ve learnt a lot about food, food history and food culture from this podcast. I hope the producers will tune the volume up a little bit because it’s a bit difficult to listen to it on my phone (even with maximum volume) in a subway station or on a train where I listen to it most of the time.

    Thoroughly British, thoroughly enjoyable!
    Recommended by Krista Tippett as a program to be savored as an alternative to the majority of offerings available, it IS entertaining and educational at the same time!

    Thought-full food magic
    Thought-full, fascinating food journalism, handcrafted unexpected freethinking memorable audio. Hugely recommended to you!!priceless and precious. Thanks
  • sledxl
    Love It
    Even subjects I could not care less about are covered in a fascinating and intelligent way. For example beer, knives and fair trade were just as interesting as the coverage of Claudia ROden, Elizabeth David and horse meat scandal. Well done. No easy answers but well done and entertaining. Food politics presented without agendas - Bravo! I've listened to every episode
  • Atouch89
    I absolutely love this podcast!
    It is very entertaining if you are into food and health. I listen to it at work, and it is very visual. Its even better than watching a TV show, you can totally place yourself in the scene. Plenty of info and laughs throughout.
