We're going Ethiopian on our latest episode, as comedian Carl Donnelly orders a selection of curries from Elsa's Vegan Kitchen in Tooting. To much skepticism from Cim and Carl, Tom claims that this particular cuisine is his favourite.

If you want to know the weirdest thing that anyone has ever done with an egg - an we suspect that's a competitive field - you need to listen to Tom and Cim's conversation with the wonderful Stevie Martin. Stevie ordered from pan-Asian restaurant Eatfan, and got a little less than she bargained for, possibly making hers the cheapest order we've ever had on the show. Check out all of

Someone likes nuggets (and tea), and that person is the wonderful comedian, Jake Lambert. Jake's obsession with those battered balls of chickeny goodness is, to say the least, extraordinary, as are his breakfast habits, which have in the past seen him combine 4 different types of cereal and a rusk. Jake ordered from Neat Burger, though as has become the way on this podcast, his foo

Our guest this week is broadcaster Lauren Layfield, who fully embraces the ethos of the podcast with tales of bizarre curry combinations, food ratios, a quirky approach to Big Macs and her gluttenous love of food served in buckets.
