Starting point is 00:00:51 am putting jumpers on luckily I didn't need the heating quite yet it's getting a bit chilly but I haven't switched that on and haven't figured it out anyway so I'll need to I'll need to because it is getting chilly i have to get that manual out soon but great that you're in many congratulations on being a homeowner super proud of you oh it's been mad good though it's all good you're in it that's all that matters yeah following on from thursday's ep where me and maria and Elia just keep talking about food. We divert back to food. It's just a very big subject and we do love food. But this episode is dedicated to weird food combinations. I've had so many messages from you all. Can't thank you enough. And let's just get cracking
Starting point is 00:01:41 because some of them are absolutely brilliant. Hi Nat, It's Emma here from the Isle of Wight. Just been listening to your episode regarding weird food combinations from quite a young age as well. So sort of my early teens, I've really, really enjoyed mushy peas on toast with salad cream. Now, some people frown upon this but trust me it is delicious the texture is just the same as burnt beans so i don't know why people sort of think it's revolting but i think it's delicious try it anyway keep up the good work with the pod really enjoying listening to you all um lots of love bye now i'm sorry mushy peas and salad cream on toast when did that start well you can see the fish and chip shop you'll get mushy peas and a bread roll to go with your chips there's always a chip butty kind of
Starting point is 00:02:42 they're they're in the same family i'm not a salad cream I'm not a mayo or salad cream person so I love a bit of salad cream but would I put it with mushy peas I don't think so I love mushy peas at the fish and chip shop I do I enjoy a good mushy pea but they've got to be a good one I don't like them when they're a bit grey looking they can look a bit insipid, can't they? I think they add the green, though. I think naturally they are more grey. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah, I think. Is it marrow fat? That's it. That's right. They're bigger, aren't they? The marrows. I think they have to make them green. With just food colouring, I'm assuming.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah. Not make them jealous or seasick or something like that. Really envious. Yeah. I'm sorry, but that one I'm not going to try. Hey Nat loving the podcast. Unusual food combo. My favourite is Marmite and Jam on toast.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Don't knock it till you've tried it from kelly now i wouldn't put the two together but i like both and i can imagine it working i do marmite and chocolate spread or nutella okay and i've heard that the theory is that you can pretty much mix any of those spreads. The toast spreads work. Well, you all, listen, peanut butter and jam is a, you know, that's a famous. They were selling peanut butter and Marmite recently. That was a collab they did. Did they?
Starting point is 00:04:16 Like a swirly Marmite and peanut butter? Yeah. Interesting. More mixed in than swirly. But yeah, yeah, they did peanut butter Marmite jars. Yeah. I mean, Marmite does just add sort of like, what is it, like the umami depth.
Starting point is 00:04:29 That's it. It's a depth. It's a salt, isn't it? And I do love a bit of Marmite. And I'm a savoury person, so I really do like that. I add far too much salt to my food. Yeah, far too much, but I do enjoy it. Not as much as Elia.
Starting point is 00:04:44 She loves it. It's terrible. Piles it on. Mountains of salt. Talking of Marmite, condiments, jars, that sort of thing, Em, I had a lovely lady over to go through all of my kitchen cupboards and reorganize them lovely lauren came over and i was appalled to see how many jars spices herbs they were all out of date am i yeah i've got about six spices left in
Starting point is 00:05:20 my cupboard on a very pretty rack but i just i can't get over the condiment herb spice situation there in the house they've all gone yeah and i'm in that theory that most of it's just best before and they're fine but then then you look at them and you go oh that's probably about 10 years too i mean mine weren't really really over the top out of date. But I suppose when it comes to herbs and spices, they probably lose their punch. You just have to put more in. Yeah, maybe. Sometimes, though, when you open them, they all do sort of smell the same.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And I'm guessing that's because they're out of date. But I've now got a really lovely breakfast cupboard. Cereals. A little plastic box, you know, with the bits in. I feel like Stacey Solomon. Have you still got the tub with all the crap in it that you were talking to Tony about? Oh, yeah. I have got the tub, but the crap now has been put in an order. So there's little pots in the tub and it doesn't look like crap anymore she was really really good perfect space home organization is her instagram but yeah i would love to do more of that myself but when you're really really busy you haven't got time so i got
Starting point is 00:06:41 her over but there were bags and bags of stuff that were out of date so I need to go shopping again for my jams marmite peanut butter all of that all needs buying what have you done with the move have you brought a lot with you did you have a bit of a clear out so I wasn't sure it was going through it was delayed delayed delayed it was delayed a month and then all this sort of stuff and then it went through on the Monday and I tentatively rebooked the movers for the Thursday yeah and I had a really busy Monday Tuesday Wednesday working and I panicked and kind of ended up having my mum and partner over on Wednesday. We did a load of sorting and then, but then the movers were there on the Thursday.
Starting point is 00:07:31 And then I had to pay them overtime because they were there for way longer than they were going to be. And it all mellowed down and then I had to do some more on Saturday. So I've got everything. But the bin situation is easier here because the old flat, you had to leave bin bags on the street at certain hours and all this sort of thing. Right. Whereas this has got...
Starting point is 00:07:53 Have you got lovely, big, large bins? Communal, yeah. Lovely. Big bins. So I've already easily binned a bunch of stuff. I mean, mostly the packing stuff that hasn't lasted. Yeah. Much better situation. Oh, that's really good so i'm hopeful i'm hopeful i will get my shit together properly now oh well you will of course you will yeah without a doubt there's a few conversations about it as
Starting point is 00:08:18 well of like because this is owning somewhere you can shake off the insecurity of like holding on to things just not knowing where you were going next or like all these temporary furniture structures i've had lots of diy bits i was making do whereas i want to try and build yeah you can save and get some special bits now which is really good although my bedroom consists of a baby changing unit with drawers in it you haven't got a baby a tall boy from something else well i haven't got a baby now but when eliza was a baby it was hers she's quite a bit older now well yeah i've not got round to upstairs yet but like you i don't want to buy bits of furniture until it's all done and it's nice it's things to look forward to things to aim for so it's very very good but yeah there's some really out of date spices yeah flowing about that's fine it'll be fine i'll replace replaces i can afford
Starting point is 00:09:16 it that's that's where we get to what do you think of this from d malaga tawny soup with a two-minute microwave rice stirred in, topped with either a packet of crushed crisps or crushed cream crackers and hot sauce. Yeah? The thing is, where have you come up with that? That's the cupboard clearer. That's the kind of meals I was having to clear out the freezer, the fridge, the... Yeah, that's nuts, that is.
Starting point is 00:09:46 And hasn't Malagatoni's soup already got rice in it? Oh, I don't know. No, I'm sure Malagatoni's got rice in it. So she's adding it, she's bulking it up. Good luck to her. I prefer a smooth soup, actually. I love a pea and ham soup. Lovely thick pea and ham.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Or an onion soup, which isn't smooth. Like a French onion? Yeah. Really nice. Challenge on the old guts, that one. It is a challenge for the guts, but it's worth every penny. It's very good. Someone sent me a picture, which I will put on Insta.
Starting point is 00:10:28 I've got to show you this. A periwinkle sandwich. Is it like little cockle kind of seafood things? Freshly picked at the seaside from the rocks, boiled in salty water, put them into bread and butter. Again, I've heard of cockles being with bread and butter i think salt and vinegar no but that to me that looks like a challenge off of on the slab yeah a little bit i'm not one for cockles jelly deals that sort of thing but i think if you are
Starting point is 00:10:59 a seafood fan then anything slapped in a bit of bread and butter whatever you're a fan of is a win-win, really. Yeah, I used to. I used to like all the sort of seafood as a kid, but yeah, not keen. No. It textures it a bit. I like crab and lobster, prawns,
Starting point is 00:11:15 sort of those sort of ones, but anything cold, anything that's pickled, it's just not for me. I've been really busy of late, and on Saturday, Joni and I went out for the morning for a few hours which was really really lovely and we usually go to Costa Coffee and she gets a bacon roll but we went in there and she was devastated the shelves were empty so she said mummy where are we going to go? So we
Starting point is 00:11:45 looked over the road. She said, I love Simmons, the bakers. I said, don't we all? I said, but it's 30 deep. She said, we'll be there for ages. The queue was really, really long. I said, so let's not do that. Anyway, we found a lovely little cafe in Ware called Truly Scrumptious. And we went in there and had a lovely little meal. But do you ever find that locally you stick to what you know? And that has been there. I've walked past that for 10 years and I've never been in. And it's really, really nice. So I just wanted to mention it because I think sometimes we get stuck in our ways.
Starting point is 00:12:20 But it is lovely to think, oh, I've not been to that little cafe. I'll go there. And sometimes you're judging a book by its cover because it's not the most glamorous or, you know, it's just a bog standard little cafe. And it was cracking, clean, quick, lovely stuff. So I shall be going back there. I had poached eggs, a little bit of bacon, smashed avocado, which did come in a tiny little pot. Could have had a bit more of that. And a chai latte.
Starting point is 00:12:50 It was delicious. Lovely. Really nice. Joni had her usual bacon, a couple of sausages and bacon. Bacon, bacon and beige. She didn't even want any bread or a croissant. Just wanted the protein. Straight in.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Just straight in bacon. But I have found it quite tough being so busy and not seeing the children as much lately. It has been quite tough. I just, I'm such a home bird. Fantastic. I'm very grateful. The jobs I'm doing are brilliant.
Starting point is 00:13:18 And I'm very, very lucky. But I am looking forward to a little bit of downtime and a little bit of time at home. Really looking forward to kind of organising some meals, getting that slow cooker on, getting Poppy's book out, you know, just having that little bit of organisation at home because I'm a control freak, as you know. That'd be nice though, yeah, settling into the autumn. Yeah, it's even like tonight, you know, because I'm at home today,
Starting point is 00:13:44 I've done all the dinner earlier. Did it this morning, did a nice spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs are on. So I know the kids' dinner's on. I can sort them out at a reasonable hour. You know, it's just not a KBS kick-bullet scramble for anyone who doesn't know. I said that to someone the other day, KBS, and they've never heard of it. Is that more a creative thing?
Starting point is 00:14:06 Is that kind of a telly radio thing, do you think, Em? I think it's a you thing. I learned it from you. I didn't know KBS either. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, well, let us know if anyone else has heard of KBS, kick, bollock, scramble.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I think I got it from Mark because I think it's a term that's used on set maybe I'm wrong, let me know 0778820 1919 it's nice though isn't it KBS the other one that I like that Mark says is when you leave a room
Starting point is 00:14:40 and you have a nervous you have a little nervous heard of that? no which is a look around before you leave to make sure you've not left anything oh yeah like a final yeah final check over final check quick nervous he'll annihilate me i bet i've got that wrong but i'll wait for him to tell me off but I'm sure that's right let's have a listen to another one hey Nat so weird food combination mine used to be a peach sandwich sliced peach white bread with butter absolutely delicious and actually I'm more than a little
Starting point is 00:15:21 bit gutted that as I've grown up I've actually become allergic to peaches and nectarine so i can't do it anymore it sounds horrendous but you can't knock it till you've tried it keep up the great pod bye now i love nectarines and peaches do you think that i could do this with um tim peaches because they're my favorite oh I bet you could because isn't that basically like this is it summer pudding which is bread yes and fruits and then cream it's basically the same isn't it? I think a peach sandwich with lots of butter in it white bread would be really good. Yeah oh I bet you can yeah you can do it tins surely. Oh yeah I think so because they're a bit softer as well aren't they I might have to drain them I might have to pat them down a bit yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:16:06 with a tissue paper because they're quite wet aren't they have you got any tins left in no tins no they're gone no fruit left
Starting point is 00:16:13 it's really bad clear out I have got some tins but again tins are fine unless they start bulging that's what Mark said
Starting point is 00:16:22 Mark said oh I don't know why we've got rid of all the tins they'd be fine if you open them up you can leave them for 30 years yeah anyway she's done a good job what can i say yeah you know yeah she did what you employed her to do which was exactly clear out yeah fresh start she did a brilliant thing with my tea towels oh yeah she put them in a kind of deep plastic um shoebox size clear plastic box about shoebox size slid it into one of the corner cupboards and she's rolled
Starting point is 00:16:54 each tea towel up and put it in nice very good space saver roll it for packing as well for yeah clothes give it a roll yeah i don't roll stuff really, but yeah, I can see why. Because the tea towel situation now is really good. As an Oasis fan, you've got to roll with it. Leave immediately. Seriously. Yeah. You've got to take your time.
Starting point is 00:17:28 You've got to say what you say. Don't let anyone get in your way. Someone's put tuna mayo, but with a massive dollop of horseradish in it. Now that sounds, I don't think that's weird. I think that's genius and I'm certainly
Starting point is 00:17:47 going to have a go at that one you said you're not a mayo fan but if anybody's listened to my off menu with Ed Gamble
Starting point is 00:17:54 and James Acaster you know that I'm a huge mayonnaise fan but I think the horseradish as well in that is going to just
Starting point is 00:18:02 liven it up a bit I think it's going to be really good. You know what I'd like that in? I'd like that in a granary bap, please. Oh, yeah. Always go for a granary bap, butter, tuna mayo, cucumber. But with tuna and mayonnaise, always a granary b bat from the bakers. Don't know why. Just works.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Dunking McDonald's chips into a strawberry milkshake. Yeah, I get it. I wouldn't do it myself, but I get it. I've seen it done with vanilla. I think I've tried it with vanilla and all the McFlurry, yeah, vanilla McFlurry kind of ones as well. It's got a bit of the salt sweet to it. I think everything there is salty, sweet, McDonald's-y.
Starting point is 00:18:50 So I feel like it all just goes together. I think you can do it. Yeah. The meals come with the milkshake. You're drinking it while having the burgers anyway. That's it. Have you ever had a sweet... I mean, you're not far off with like a brioche bun for burgers, but I had donut.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You get a burger and a donut. Oh, really? Mmm. Oh, yeah, I'd have a go. Again, I haven't got much of a sweet tooth, but I do love a maple syrup and bacon pancake. Oh, yeah. So it's the same sort of thing, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:19:20 Yeah. The salty and the sweet. A bacon donut. Is that a normal plain donut are we going chocolate jam inside what we're doing i think it was just a iced ring one yeah and then you yeah then you slice it open the burgers inside it yeah yeah that's it well yeah good it was good hi nat i've just come back from a run whilst listening to you. I'm 55. When I was younger, younger, younger, I used to have mashed potato and salad cream sandwiches. Warm mashed potato.
Starting point is 00:19:53 And also, my mum used to give us sugar and clotted cream on top of a big chunk of bread. And that would be our pudding on say a sunday or something and it's oh the sugar was so crunchy on top the cream it was bloody lovely lovely podcast uh i may even think of some more weird foods at some point thank you bye the lump of bread with clotted cream and sugar makes sense to me it's not far for like an iced bun or an eclair is it well or a scone let's be honest really yeah i mean you've changed me since talking about the pasta opened your mind flour eggs well yeah it's quite obvious they're cake ingredients so i've sort of gone off the sort of boil of being so passionate regarding the nutella and Pasta. Are you going to try it?
Starting point is 00:20:45 No, I'm not going to try it. Only because I'm not really a massive chocolate fan. But I get it. I was on my way home on the train the other day and I had 20 minutes to wait actually because I missed the train I was getting on. I thought I'll pop into M&S Simply Food and just grab a couple of things. And I thought, I know what I'll do because I've not been home for a couple of days.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I will get Mark a little chocolate, a little something. So I looked at them all and there was kind of this little bag of new kind of bites. I can't remember what they were, little bites. So I get home, give him a nice cuddle cuddle I said I've got you a little present get them out he went oh were they by the till I said how rude they weren't actually I went especially over to the confectionery aisle if you like and I chose those for you I was really upset actually he thought I just I'd just sort of, you know, just picked him up because they were there with no bother, with no thought involved.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I said, at least I'll get you something when I go away. He didn't answer me. I tell you what, he's gobbling them up. He don't mind them, though, does he? No. How many ice creams have you got left to those ones he stopped up on oh um 99 of them still oh absolutely not no oh i see what you did there i'm not with it oh no i didn't mean no i didn't mean that no i just yeah no really no, no, no, I wasn't. But, yeah, all right. No, like, yeah, those max, well, the sort of...
Starting point is 00:22:27 The maxi-bon type things. Maxi-less. I think he got roughly 64. I'll have to check for you. I'll have to count. But, no, a lot of those have gone. I'd say less than half are left. Wow.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. We haven't had that many nice proper summer days. You say that, but him and Eliza will have them just after tea, you know, like a yoghurt. Like people have a yoghurt. Or any sort of dessert. They like an ice cream. Joni's not eating them.
Starting point is 00:22:54 I'm not eating them. So it is down to the other two. I've got no inspiration at the moment, actually, for things to cook because I'm not around so I'm just letting everybody get on with it I did a big shop this morning just picked up lots of veg a little bit of meat little bit of fish little you know chucked it all in and thought at least that's dinners for a few days that everyone can sort out I can't do it I can't think about it hi Nat I'm just listening to your I'm trying to get oasis tickets episode on the podcast and weird food combinations and I'm known for my weird food
Starting point is 00:23:32 combination of heating up a sausage roll in the microwave for about 10 seconds just so it's a little bit warm and then putting Nutella inside and having a chocolate sausage roll. I absolutely love it. Everyone thinks I'm disgusting. What do you think? It's Lucy, by the way. Thanks, bye. Yeah, Lucy, I think that's disgusting. Yeah, that's a bit perverted.
Starting point is 00:23:56 What is it with the Nutella obsession? I don't know, no, I'm not up for it. Just have the sausage roll, enjoy your sausage roll. Put a bit of brown sauce or tomato ketchup with it. That's sweet enough. Nutella should be really for a bit of toast or a croissant. I don't think it should go in pasta, really. And I don't really think... I'm going back on it.
Starting point is 00:24:14 I'm going back on what I've just said. But there's enough stuff that goes with Nutella. You don't need to put it in a sausage roll as well. Yeah, she's pushed us over the edge now. That's it. Yeah, no, it's pissed me over the edge now. That's it. Yeah, no, it's pissed me off. Too much, too much. It's aggravated me.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I was slowly getting there and she shoved that in my face and now I'm angry about it. Yeah, we have separate courses for a reason. Like, just wait, I've been to tell her after. See, see, and that's what I said to you about the pasta. You see, you're with me now, aren't you, a little bit? Be honest. It just feels weird. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Yeah, well, but we haven't tried it, so you don't know. No, you don't know until you've tried it. However, what you just said is very important. We have separate courses for a reason. Name of episode. Hi, just a quick note. I've just been listening to your episode and you've been asking for requests for strange food um my favorite food since i've been about four is
Starting point is 00:25:12 cucumber and tomato sauce sandwiches love them love them white bread but i like them when they're about three to four hours old brings me back to my school days when they're all gone soggy or days at the beach, picnics. Absolutely love them. So, yeah, that's my strange food. Don't know if anyone else likes that. Love the pod. And that's all we've got to say. Lovely.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Tracey from Bradfield, Essex. Trace, tomato sauce and cucumber sandwiches makes me want to heave. And then you chucked in, leave them for four hours. And you said really kind of openly, I don't know if anyone else likes this. I would love to hear from somebody who does that. Oh yes, I also, I too get out my ketchup and squeeze it into some bread, chop up some cucumber and leave it for four hours. I do that as well. Surely not. I can't stand old sandwiches.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Curling up at the sides. No, thank you. But if you've got it in like a sandwich bag, it's not curling. It's keeping its freshness She's not talking about that She's talking about it being on the side by the sounds of it Then it gets a bit crusty The bread goes a bit dry
Starting point is 00:26:31 No it goes soggy because she's got the Oh you really aren't liking it You're really struggling Really can't picture that one Don't want to Even her saying it reminds her of skull Is weird They couldn't have done tomato Even her saying it reminds her of school is weird. They couldn't have done tomato ketchup and cucumber sandwiches at her school, could they?
Starting point is 00:26:50 Her mum didn't whack that out and put it in her packed lunch box, surely. Well, you never know, do you? Each to their own. I might be making it up. Might get a barrage of messages saying that's what everyone had for lunch. At my primary school, I'll never forget. We used to have this chicken curry and it was absolutely delicious. And I can't remember the name of it. Chicken merengue or something.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I can't remember. But I remember mum getting the recipe and trying to do it at home for me because I loved it that much. I loved school dinners. Yeah, the one that I've tried to find the recipe for, cornflake tart, pastry jam. Oh, yeah. Syrupy cornflakes. But it seems to be, it wasn't an every school thing by the sounds of it. Loads of people haven't heard of it.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Right. Sounds a bit like, you know, the rice crispy cake type thing but with pastry i did which i'm a fan of yeah it wasn't far off like a bakewell tart have you ever used cornflakes to breadcrumb your chicken no i've seen that a few times i've seen people crush them up crush up the cornflakes and use them as kind of a you know a crunchy breadcrumb like a katsu almost panko panko not katsu cracking up here well you know what i mean yes panko katsu potato patalo panko panko not the same at all is it it's closer no i think they use i think panko is what they use in katsu so say I don't know what you mean.
Starting point is 00:28:26 You're kind to me. Hi, Nat. I just had Instagram serve up to me this absolute abomination where Heinz and Weetabix have done this revolting collab type post. I don't even know how to describe it. Apart from I will never get it off my eyeballs. I wondered if you had any views on that. By the way, the comments underneath are hilarious from all the other companies that have piled on
Starting point is 00:28:48 and whether you had any kind of weird food combinations. Loving the pod. Keep doing what you're doing. Can't wait for it to come out. Cheers. What's she say? Weetabix and what? Heinz.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Oh, is that like the baked beans one? I think I've seen. Oh, why should bread have all the fun When there's Weetabix I'll have a look No thank you It's two Weetabix on a plate With baked beans on top
Starting point is 00:29:17 They've desperately been trying to do the marketing How do you use your Weetabix That isn't just with milk and sugar? Like having them dry with cream cheese on and stuff like that. Although I am going to say one thing to you that you are not going to believe. I'm going to say one thing. If Joanie eats Weetabix, she will get two out of the packet and eat them dry. She sits and has them dry like a cracker.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Will she dip them in beans i don't think so who sits in an office and says i know what we'll do which is so amazing and it's going to be so different let's do this it's not it's not it is an abomination they bumped into each other at a conference the wheat a bit yeah baked beans guy were like oh we should work together shame none of our products will work with each other no no no no it wasn't a conference Em it was an awards do

Starting point is 00:30:54 Hi Nat, it's Jo in Hitchin. So just been listening to your podcast about weird food combos. Now I know cheese and biscuits are totally acceptable. Sure are. But I really love a dark chocolate McVitie's digestive. Then you put your extra mature cheddar on top and then you get another dark chocolate McVitie's digestive
Starting point is 00:31:15 and make it into like a little sandwich. Now, I know it sounds gross. I mean, cheese and biscuits is okay. I'm not sure chocolate's really supposed to be in there, but don't knock it till you try it. Love the bye and that one i'm going to try are you okay i love dark chocolate and i like it on a biscuit i'm not a chocolate bar eater really i do love a biscuit and i love mature cheddar and i know I've been banging on about sweet and savoury not going together but I think this one could work I don't know if I would double up
Starting point is 00:31:51 I don't know if I'd make it a sandwich it feels a bit of a mouthful and a bit messy to me but I might use the dark digestive as a cracker put the cheese on Bob's your uncle fanny's your aunt yeah i've definitely done sort of the strong cheese with honey you know and the chutneys are all very sweet haven't yeah i haven't done chocolate but then you you get lighter the milder cheese a soft cheese with chocolate in the cheesecake is all over the place you know it's yeah again there's somewhere in the same universe i'm gonna have a go so thank you for that one so i'm gonna try that and do a little video i should buy some dark chocolate bickies they haven't all been thrown away i just haven't got any what was the marmite and jam i could i'll do that i'll do that but marmite and Jam?
