From the makers of the legendary BBC2 panel show QI and its hit spin-off podcast No Such Thing As A Fish comes a piping hot new podcast, Lunchbox Envy, to add a generous dollop of bizarre and unusual facts to every meal.
Launching on 24th February with two episodes, Lunchbox Envy sees QI Elves Manu Henriot (an ex chef) and Jack Chambers (a gastronome) gather around the table with chef & food writer Rosie MacKean to unpeel the culinary world, one ingredient at a time.
Fascinating and mouth-watering in equal measure, Lunchbox Envy will fill your brain as well your stomach. Packed with surprising food facts and bizarre culinary traditions, this new podcast answers the questions you never knew you had—like what happens when nuclear submarines run out of sausages, where in the world you can find blue bananas, and which country hosts an international testicle-cooking competition.
Lunching with the Elves is a unique experience because they're as interested in talking about their food as eating it. Finding out that the tip of asparagus is called a 'squib', or that scientists have patented a new type of seaweed that tastes like bacon, is what makes Manu, Jack and Rosie the perfect bread-fellows (the literal translation of the word ‘companions’)
John Lloyd, Founder and Executive Producer of QI
Lunchbox Envy will be hosted by Audioboom and will be launching Monday 24 February on all major podcast platforms.
