1. It’s Packed with Unexpected Food Trivia

Did you know green Haribo gummy bears are actually strawberry flavoured? Or that a squirrel in German is literally called an “oak croissant”? Each episode is full of these kinds of bite-sized facts you won’t hear anywhere else.

2. It’s Made by the QI Elves

The team behind QI and No Such Thing As A Fish know how to turn fun facts into smart entertainment. With millions of weekly listeners already, you can trust they know how to make things interesting — and funny.

3. Every Episode Has a Tasty Theme

Each week explores a new topic: pastries, sandwiches, beer, vanilla, apples, and butter are all on the menu. Perfect for learning something new while you cook, eat, or commute.

4. The Hosts Really Know (and Love) Food

Ex-chef Manu Henriot, food fan Jack Chambers, and food writer Rosie MacKean bring different perspectives to the table — and they all clearly love what they’re talking about.

5. It’s Just Fun to Listen To

This is the kind of podcast you’ll want to tell your friends about. Want to know what happens when a nuclear submarine runs out of sausages? Or why some people bathe in strawberry juice? It’s all here.
