Starting point is 00:00:00 But what would the football manager Graham Taylor say in this situation? Oh yeah! A little bit of the bobbly. He's Chris Jericho. That was Macho Man. You've been watching a lot of Macho Man and like going live and stuff. He sent me a few things actually can you i think it's
Starting point is 00:00:29 important for me to um make clear on the luke and pete show um luke for the past month i don't really know why or how this has come up but he seems insistent on sending me as much as much only feels and horses uh memorabilia links on WhatsApp. He just constantly sends me. So, this is the Luke and Pete show. I'm Luke, that's Pete. Welcome along. This is your first episode.
Starting point is 00:00:53 God help you. I've become fascinated by the subculture that is people who are super fans of the 80s sitcom Only Fools and Horses. Yeah. And I got into this. My gateway drug drug if you like was when i asked you kip forums no it was when i am i someone retweeted the actor
Starting point is 00:01:15 john chalice who plays boise into my timeline twitter right and i just kept looking at his stuff and i found this whole subculture now I know for a fact that only fools and horses is exactly the kind of basic humour that you will find annoying I abhor it yeah so that's why I keep sending you it
Starting point is 00:01:31 but is it do you not find it kind of fascinating the same way you find like a man who's a detective also picking locks fascinating
Starting point is 00:01:37 no because it's just so big like it's not really out there is it it's not really interesting there's just so much kind of like John Charles has a really good follow on Twitter
Starting point is 00:01:46 because he just retweets the craziest stuff. Yeah. He just... He's a character. He's a real character. He's got two autobiographies. Does the world need two John Challis autobiographies? Probably not.
Starting point is 00:01:56 He sells them like self-published for a fiver on his website. He keeps on retweeting, like, Serbian translated DVD covers from Only Fools and Horses. He's into it. He's into it. He's into it. And you know what that led me on to? It led me on to the
Starting point is 00:02:09 less successful Nicholas Lindhurst vehicle Goodnight Sweetheart. Yes, okay. Where he goes back to the Second World War through some portal. Quite a brave
Starting point is 00:02:20 kind of everyday sitcom for the BBC to do. Well, he's just awful, isn't he? He just treats him as a wife. Yes. It's a brave kind of everyday sitcom for the BBC to do. Well, he's just awful, isn't he? He just treats him as a wife. Yeah. It's a whole lot of philosophical questions, though, isn't it? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:02:31 Because technically, when he's having sex with another woman, it's 50 years before his wife's born. Yeah. So... That's probably what turns him on. Maybe, yeah. You don't want to see what he did with the cement. Was there ever a situation where he worried about the person he was sleeping with
Starting point is 00:02:47 was his wife in the future's mum or grandmother? It's a good question, actually. Maybe that's one of the plot points. I don't know. You'd think that would be a plot point. It's pretty route one, isn't it? Yeah. But it wasn't enjoyable.
Starting point is 00:03:04 No, I tell a lie I liked it I could let you see it it was good so it's also got it's also got an actor called Victor Maguire right
Starting point is 00:03:11 who plays Gary I think Gary Sparrow who's played by Nicholas Lindhurst sort of best mate who kind of helps him out and is kind of the
Starting point is 00:03:19 the guy who I guess tries to make him see reason I think he gets in on the swindle at some point and he's involved. Anyway, he's actually a really good actor.
Starting point is 00:03:28 He's really good in it. If you watch it back, I mean, it's not aged particularly well, but he's the standout actor in it. He's also in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I think he's been in a couple of other bits and pieces as well. Yeah, he's in some other stuff. Anyway, he's actually quite good in it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But what was I originally talking about? Oh, yeah, so I keep sending you that stuff, only if it was Norses stuff, because I just think it's funny. But when I said Macho Man, my friend Jimmy, my best friend since I was a kid, he's one of these people
Starting point is 00:03:55 who misremembers things all the time, and then he will swear blind that he's right when he's not, and then he'll just not care and not change it. So, for example, he always gets the words to Chaz and Dave's Snook and then he'll just not care and not change it. So, for example, he always gets the words to Chas and Dave's
Starting point is 00:04:07 snooker loopy wrong. Right. And it's annoying. What does he think it looks like? So the words go, pot the red and screw back to the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black.
Starting point is 00:04:17 He, for some reason, always says, pot the yellow to the green, brown to the blue, to the pink and then the black, which is completely wrong. Right. And secondly, the thing he used to do is really annoying when we were kids and he always does it now still just to annoy me and a couple of others his you know macho man randy savage used to be called macho king randy savage yeah well jimmy always calls him macho man
Starting point is 00:04:39 king randy savage it's really annoying and every time I must have done this every time we said it for the last 25 years literally it's Macho Man Randy Savage and he'll always do the announcement and go
Starting point is 00:04:51 Macho Man King Randy Savage it's really really annoying I think we did a we're doing like 12 wrestles of Christmas
Starting point is 00:05:00 or whatever and the first match was Coco Beware the parrot he was a bit of. Oh, I love him. The parrot. Yeah, he's great. He's a bit of a kid's character, beloved by children everywhere. But the first match we do is a shoot match
Starting point is 00:05:12 where basically it means that the fight is real, where a wrestler decides to take umbrage with something that the other wrestler has done and then proceeds to beat the shit out of him. What? How does that happen? They just unilaterally decide that? No.
Starting point is 00:05:23 One of them's got some beef does the other one know not in this case because he knocks him out in about 5 minutes it's a 2 minute match who's the other wrestler he's called
Starting point is 00:05:34 the patriot right and they get into a ring and Coco Beware just proceeds to he's actually called Coco Ware at that point and somebody tweeted in
Starting point is 00:05:42 going isn't it Coco Beware and Mark's going no actually at that point he was in Memphis Wrestling so it wasn't actually and it's just a kind of thing wrestlers change their names quite a lot
Starting point is 00:05:49 and modify their thing when they change territories and obviously for IP infractions and stuff they had to change but I was just fascinated by this match where he just
Starting point is 00:05:58 beats the flying shit out of this poor bloke he's just a jobbing wrestler kind of a local wrestler who comes on and they reckoned he'd said something racist
Starting point is 00:06:06 or done something wrong but Coco Buey proceeded to give him a rather stiff clothesline and then spine busted him. You know, I can't remember
Starting point is 00:06:15 what the move was called. I never know any of the moves but he really hurts the guy and then finishes off when he's on top of him gives him the biggest slap to the face. He's already knocked out. he's already knocked out he's
Starting point is 00:06:26 absolutely sparked out that is a that is a absolute danger of the job fans favorites what's it called a shoot match shoot match yeah wow things are real because macho mans used to be called um the spider bonesaw and mr madness well bonesaw was his character in the spider-man film i believe right okay when he plays that makes sense he was still in pretty good nick
Starting point is 00:06:48 so the reason I Miss Elizabeth yeah so he has got the most ridiculous timbre to his voice yeah and that's why I was talking to you
Starting point is 00:06:57 about it the way he speaks and there's a really amazing clip from 1992 I'll play you a little bit of it in a minute
Starting point is 00:07:05 of Macho Man Randy Savage like I said 1992 going live which was a Saturday morning kids show in the UK on either
Starting point is 00:07:14 I think it was BBC presented by Sarah Green and for people who don't know wrestling Macho Man Randy Savage was one of the better technical wrestlers
Starting point is 00:07:20 he was an excellent wrestler and he was massive as well he's a massive name and so picture the scene for some reason presumably promoting some kind to technical wrestlers. He was an excellent wrestler. And he was massive as well. He's a massive name. And so, picture the scene. For some reason, presumably promoting some kind of
Starting point is 00:07:29 WrestleMania event in the UK or whatever, he is sat, surrounded by maybe 38-year-old kids. Yeah. And Sarah Green
Starting point is 00:07:39 is interviewing him. And the way he speaks... Let's make it very clear. It's 38-year-old kids. The 38-year-old kids are the ones who do WrestleMedia. Sound the truth. Listen to the way he speaks. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Macho man Randy Savage is still with us this morning. Yep, check it out. Jamie Ashton. Check it out. I just want to say he's a friend of mine and sick right now. Get better. Who speaks like that? Get better better. Who speaks like that? Get better.
Starting point is 00:08:06 No one speaks like that. It reminds me of when Michael Howard, bear with me here, was the Tory leader I think for the election which would have been Blair's third term. And he obviously looked like the Prince of Darkness anyway.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And the way he said the word people, which he used to say all the fucking time, because he's a politician, was the most unsettling way anyone's ever said anything, including Macho Man. He used to go, and what we need to understand is that people do not want, and it was,
Starting point is 00:08:42 once you heard it, you could not unhear it. But Macho Man needs to be told there at that point, look, want, and it was peeping people. Once you heard it, you could not unhear it. People. But Macho Man needs to be told there at that point, look, please, you're frightening the kids with that shit. You're already wearing a ridiculous neon pink outfit. Hot pink. Yeah, with a
Starting point is 00:08:55 massive Stetson. People don't know what to think. These kids are never going to forget this, and in a bad way. I love it. Pete, I was going to ask you, I'm a aggressive husband. Oh yeah, that's what i was going to ask you um uh husband oh yeah that's what i was going to ask you did you know that when i was in the us i think i forgot to mention it on monday um my wife's family's next door neighbor right we always go to visit her um when we're there she's been next to everything for a very long time and she likes seeing my wife who's
Starting point is 00:09:22 obviously moved away now um she's a hundred years old and we played ball games. Tipper tennis. No we played ball games with her all afternoon. Right. And she was like
Starting point is 00:09:31 decent. Like actually decent. She's going to be 101 in January so shout out Madeleine. She won't be listening but shout out Madeleine.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Amazing achievement for that. I've never met a centenary. I've never met one before. Have you ever met one of these 100?
Starting point is 00:09:44 No I don't think I have, actually. No, because you're from Hartlepool. 60s are centenarians. Yeah, it's a hard word to say. But I mean, I really wanted to ask her so much stuff, but obviously you just
Starting point is 00:09:55 turn into the guy who's just hassling her because she's old. Stop hassling 100-year-olds. Yeah, so I didn't ask her as many questions as I wanted. But amazing thing to meet someone who's 100.
Starting point is 00:10:04 So what, Abby, 1919? Yeah, she was born in 1919, yeah. So it's like, would you have been, I guess she would have been, would she have been like a, the war has ended, let's bone kind of baby? That's a shame. Why is that a shame?
Starting point is 00:10:18 Because she's a 100-year-old lady. Well, how do you think babies get made? Don't use the word. Lots of babies were born in like 1946, weren't they? I may not know a lot about a lot, but when you're talking about people who are 100, you do not use the phrase, let's bone. It's disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Darling, let's bone. Let's begin the Congress. Wrestle this back. No, I'm bone sore. I don't care. What do you want for Christmas, mate? I meant to ask you that. What do you want for Christmas?
Starting point is 00:10:44 When you get to my age you've already bought everything haven't you yeah my mum wished us that my house is full of shit I was in the doghouse last week for um my mum said to me
Starting point is 00:10:50 what do you want for Christmas I said I don't know then I realised I needed a dressing gown like a bathrobe kind of thing so I get me a dressing gown that's all I need that'd be great
Starting point is 00:10:58 thank you very much she's like okay fine I'll get you one then completely forgot I said that went to the Black Friday sales in the US, bought one myself. Yeah, well, she's fuming.
Starting point is 00:11:08 You bought a robe and then brought it back? Yeah. Did you not have enough trouble carting around the robe we had to take around for the Football Ramble tour? Yes. Mimi took an extra suitcase with us, though, so I could fit it in there. So you don't want anything for Christmas, no?
Starting point is 00:11:21 What are you hoping to get from the Ramble Christmas dinner Secret Santa on Saturday? We've not even set that up. These are going to to get from the Ramble Christmas Dinner Secret Santa on Saturday? We've not even set that up. These are going to be panic buys. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Normally they're really thoughtful. What did Spellzy get me? Donald Trump mask. I can't remember what Spellzy. It's hard though
Starting point is 00:11:36 isn't it? It's hard to, I think I bought one of the Laura. You bought me a book one year, a graphic novel. Okay right.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Was that one of the giant? I don't know. Yeah it was. It's good that. Good quality. I think I bought somebody a video game system I bought but it happened to was that Order of the Giant I don't know yeah it was it's good that good quality I think I bought somebody a video game
Starting point is 00:11:47 system I bought but it happened to go to one of the Laura's from Revisited and she just gave it away because she didn't
Starting point is 00:11:55 want it re-gifted it outrageous amazing never mind so you don't want anything I don't want the
Starting point is 00:12:02 Donald Trump mask because I've only got one you can never have too many though can you no if you had the money you'd I don't want the Donald Trump mask because I've already got one. You can never have too many, though, can you? No, no, no. If you had the money,
Starting point is 00:12:07 you'd just spend it on a Donald Trump mask, wouldn't you? Anyway, that's that. Imagine, like, cutting up, say, 20 to 30 Donald Trump masks into, like, just the face portion so it's recognisable as him. It's all machine done, surely.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah, but what if you cut them up, like, after market, after you've bought them, and then made them into, like, a winter coat them, and then made them into like a winter coat? Like a big leathery latex winter coat? That would be some look, that. Oh, wouldn't it just? Wouldn't it just?
Starting point is 00:12:31 An absolute look. My big Donald Trump coat. Beautiful. Have you heard of a group, or YouTube, or you will because you've got a YouTube premium account, called Ladbaby? Yes. It's like a lad Bible kind of, yes. It's like a lad Bible
Starting point is 00:12:45 kind of, isn't it? Like a lad Bible kind of like. No, YouTube star and dad blogger Lad Baby. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Has, he's repped by the same agent as us, I believe. Oh, right. Yeah. I'd never heard of him.
Starting point is 00:12:57 He got offered a, uh, opportunity with him. He's, he had the Christmas number one last year and apparently he's trying to get it this year
Starting point is 00:13:02 and he wants to get the Christmas number one every year. Right, okay, yeah. He doesn't like vegan sausage rolls, that's all I've got on him.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Oh, is that that guy? He was upset by vegan sausage rolls, I think. He's got the same agent as us? Yeah, I think so. I can't slag him then, can I? You can if you want. I love sausage rolls, so put another one in the oven, baby.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Is that what he's singing? Yeah. What, that's for this year? Yeah. What, he's still upset about the vegan? This was last year. He was upset about the vegan sausage rolls.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Apparently he's rewritten Joan Jett's I Love Rock and Roll for this year's attempt, once again extolling the virtues of pork stuffed pastry. Oh yeah, because last year's
Starting point is 00:13:35 number one was about sausage rolls, wasn't it? What was that song? What was that based on? What was that parody song? Let me put it in perspective. Until a minute ago, I had no idea
Starting point is 00:13:44 who he existed. I just thought you'd like it because you like YouTube. Yeah. I've got a YouTube account, yes. I just don't... I can't be arsed with the advert. It's the best thing. If you're thinking about it, get you set for Christmas.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Give someone a YouTube premium account. It's the election today. Yes. People are voting all over the country. Do vote. It's important. Check out the dogs that are voting, Paul. Yes, exactly. it's important if you've if you've registered to vote
Starting point is 00:14:05 yes exactly it's a good hashtag if you've registered to vote and you're going to vote but now you can't be bothered get out there and do it
Starting point is 00:14:11 but Peter I believe in some troubling news okay you had a falling out with your father Stuart about the
Starting point is 00:14:20 political climate and the thing that annoyed you the most was that he was sending you memes but the JPEGs were at a very low
Starting point is 00:14:29 resolution. Yeah. It was just anti-carbon memes. He'll occasionally dip his toe into the muddy waters of a Diane Abbott
Starting point is 00:14:36 and they're always just really poorly done, usually on Microsoft Paintbrush. Is your dad doing them himself? No.
Starting point is 00:14:44 No. They'd be much higher quality if he'd done them himself, but he just forwards on... Isn't it just called Microsoft Paint? What did I say? Paintbrush. Or is that a different one?
Starting point is 00:14:51 Maybe it used to be called Paintbrush. Can't remember. But Deluxe Paint 3. Remember that on the Omega? Quality. Draw. Picture Toot and Carmoon. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Do you remember Super Mario Paint? I do a little bit, yeah. Yeah, that was good. Anyway, yeah, he forwards on, there's a certain section of society which are men over 50 who are obsessed
Starting point is 00:15:11 with Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn and all they do is send memes that have been forwarded from their little muggy groups and they're the ones
Starting point is 00:15:20 who will decide the selection, unfortunately, because they are politically active and they're all, they've all gone quite mental because they're scared of and they've all gone quite mental
Starting point is 00:15:25 because they're scared of the world and things are moving a little bit too fast for them. Is your dad involved in this? He's folding them on. He's clearly part of a couple of dodgy groups. But what I don't understand here is that there are people in my family who have very different political opinions to me
Starting point is 00:15:40 and they know that, so they won't send that kind of stuff to me. So why is your dad sending them to you knowing what you like and what you don't like?'t send that kind of stuff to me so why is your dad sending them to you knowing what you like and what you don't like because he's a better end like me
Starting point is 00:15:49 like we're exactly the same right but we just but I'll just sort of go dad you know balls out the bath when Tories are in
Starting point is 00:15:58 people generally die actually lose their lives is this your serious voice this is my serious voice yeah through you know just not having enough food
Starting point is 00:16:06 on the table suicide or other things being declared fit to work and they've got no legs or whatever the fuck yeah and all that shit
Starting point is 00:16:13 people literally die and um my dad was like oh what party provides you eternal life and I was going look dad
Starting point is 00:16:20 just google fucking deaths you know and so I clip a couple of things and send it on. This is in the family group. This is 1am. I'm pissed. I'm pissed. He's waking up. So he's Corpus Mentis
Starting point is 00:16:33 and I'm Drunkus Maximus. Because your dad famously gets up at 1am. Yeah, exactly. My mum was also inexplicably as well so she got involved. Whose side is she on? She's on the sides of everyone's account. He's she's on the sides of everyone's account uh right he's kind of on the side of everyone's account and i'm on the side of everyone's account everyone's an idiot everyone is a is a is a is an idiot in in in politics they're just out for themselves it's an embarrassment yeah um imagine
Starting point is 00:16:58 being an eight-year-old your first vote good god what a shower. But, yeah, we're just in disagreement and he is, he looks at one of the pieces that I forward him and it's some Guardian writer and he's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:17:12 you're forwarding on a piece from that woman, you might as well forward on something from Owen Jones. And I'm like, Dad, she's literally courting a figure
Starting point is 00:17:20 that is an inalienable truth. It is, people die. People are dying. Yeah. And I'm like, you're such a ballad I like him a lot but he's
Starting point is 00:17:29 looking forward to Christmas dinner they've been radicalised there's a generation of men of men in this country who have been radicalised by the Daily Mail and WhatsApp forwards
Starting point is 00:17:38 and Facebook and Facebook and Facebook yeah don't get your news from Facebook or Fox News that would be mine or WhatsApp groups
Starting point is 00:17:44 and yeah WhatsApp groups and yeah WhatsApp groups I was going to ask were you more annoyed about the politics side of it or the quality of the imagery definitely the quality of the imagery
Starting point is 00:17:52 just JPEGs what kind of file size are we talking I mean there would be 20 kilobytes for text JPEG if you're going to
Starting point is 00:17:59 look if you want crisp pictures use a GIF always go GIF guys if there's not that many colours in it 256 maximum use a gif ideally you want

Starting point is 00:18:42 dropped into our inboxes the other side of this ad break alright then what is the charge eating a meal a succulent Chinese meal how many times do you reckon
Starting point is 00:18:52 I said that when I went for a Chinese buffet with my family upwards of five yeah quite a lot and the best thing was some members of my family had to actually explain
Starting point is 00:18:59 what it was but that didn't deter me it's good that they were across it though hello to Darren Darren hello lads just a quick email regarding Marcus Waring and his frankly what it was, but that didn't deter me. It's good that they were across it, though. Hello to Darren. Darren. Hello, lads.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Just a quick email regarding Marcus Waring and his frankly unbelievable appearance on Desert Island Discs a few months ago. I told you, I heard it. Yeah. Yeah. I totally appreciate the guy can cook and fair play to him. He's good on TV,
Starting point is 00:19:18 tasting food and slagging chefs off, but he is an absolute music vacuum. Honestly, honestly, every chef that goes on Desert Island Discs is an absolute disgrace.. Honestly, honestly, every chef that goes on Desert Iron Discs is an absolute disgrace. I've listed his choices and the reasons for them below. His first track was Tated Love
Starting point is 00:19:31 because his brother had a Soft Cell album. His second choice was Come and Eileen because his mum is called Eileen. Hopefully, that was the only reason
Starting point is 00:19:39 for this one. In a sinister twist, he also picked a Roytson track because it was the only tip his dad and his dad had in his car yeah and to finish burt baccarat because he once rented a villa in france and there was a burt baccarat cd in the stereo unbelievable darren that's a wonderfully uh well i think i actually think his last one was skyfall by adele which is even more boring but you know um there's something about being a chef, and I've got a lot of respect for Marcus Waring, of course.
Starting point is 00:20:10 He's brilliant on TV as well, by the way. But there's something about chefs that they have to be so into being a chef that they just don't have time for anything else. Yeah, yeah. And so, I mean, I remember listening to Heston Blumenthal.
Starting point is 00:20:23 My God, it was boring. He said that when, he said, genuinely said that when all his pals were out playing and enjoying themselves playing football
Starting point is 00:20:30 or playing games, riding their bikes or whatever, he had a copy of, I can't remember the name of the book, but some seminal French cookbook
Starting point is 00:20:41 in French and a French-English dictionary and he would spend his time as a kid translating it by hand. It's a bit Michael Owen-y, isn't it? Yeah, very much so. Because it's something interesting and artsy and something beloved by
Starting point is 00:20:57 the upper class, the old foe, the old nosh. It's regarded as being a much more intelligent person. He's obviously very intelligent. He knows what he's doing. But I think he thought I was trying to get off with his son once. Oh, where's that come from?
Starting point is 00:21:16 Where has that come from? It was at a birthday party and Heston Blumenthal was there with his son. Was he catering it or was he actually there as a guest? No, he was there as a guest. Oh, let me just sit on this chair. Oh, I can't, it's a flapjack. And he was, yeah, and I was chatting to his son, and his son was talking about how he lost his passport.
Starting point is 00:21:36 How old was his son? 18. This is problematic. And I think... So he was probably about 15 then. Because it was like a media-y kind of party, I think Heston Bl I think might have assumed that I was
Starting point is 00:21:47 radio DJ as well well yeah that was somehow problematic yeah well I think that's absolutely fair enough it's a fair assumption
Starting point is 00:21:54 if you've been to I mean have you been to any parties with any other celebrity chefs or no not really no my wife's a big fan
Starting point is 00:22:02 of Marcus Waring she loves him she loves Michel Roux as well. You never stop talking about him? Yeah, it's
Starting point is 00:22:07 true actually. His name is all over my house. I remember hearing a friend of a friend had
Starting point is 00:22:13 sex with a popular chef and his personal hygiene was not great. Is it the same party or
Starting point is 00:22:22 not? What? No. Conor's been in touch with an email about sausage meat he says there's no sausage cheese in anything
Starting point is 00:22:34 he actually starts the email very nicely he says yeah come on he says good afternoon guys hope all is well with you both
Starting point is 00:22:39 you mentioned Christmas dinners a few shows ago and it touched a nerve with me as my last few Christmas dinners have been surrounded by controversy and it touched a nerve with me as my last few Christmas dinners have been surrounded by controversy relating to sausage meat. Now, the reason I got this email in there is because I have a similar situation in my family.
Starting point is 00:22:56 So I thought until Connor emailed in, I was the only family that had sausage meat with their Christmas dinner. Do you have sausage meat with your Christmas dinner? No. God, no. Why would I do that? That's what everyone says. Connor says,
Starting point is 00:23:06 I've settled down with a lovely young girl, one who grew up in a quaint village outside Winchester, while I was dragged up in the doldrums of Southampton. Poor you. Now, I appreciate Luke may understand where I'm coming from here when I say there is a rather sizable gap in class and upbringing, cheeky, and we often exchange stories that leave my better half
Starting point is 00:23:22 nothing short of horrified. Most of them I can understand, but I will never forget the tumbleweed I was met with when I suggested serving up sausage meat for Christmas dinner with her family. It's a staple on my plate, but a completely alien idea to her and her family. Where do you go stand on this delicious slab of meat? And I wondered if there were any other foods added to the Christmas dinner plates around the world which were met with equal derision. Keep up the good work and have a very merry festive season.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Thanks, Connor. So... It would give you a little extra something, especially if you're having turkey or something. And also, it's kind of similar to stuff in a menu, isn't it? Yeah, it's like a really meat... So it's basically like sausage without the skin on it. It's fucking delicious.
Starting point is 00:24:01 And we have it all the time. We have mealy puddings as well, as a nod to our Scottish heritage but I don't think I've met another family that has sausage meat on their Christmas dinner until Connor emailed in
Starting point is 00:24:11 no how do you feel about it you'd have it would you I'd be up for it but I think it's yeah it's not it's not normal what are your
Starting point is 00:24:18 what are your kind of what's your perfect kind of Christmas dinner plate never had one never had one never had one I've told you about my mum's
Starting point is 00:24:26 no but what what ingredients do you want to see on there um just a cream of horseradish sauce that's the first thing you're saying
Starting point is 00:24:35 yeah surely the first thing is turkey no no um the most important things are cream of horseradish sauce which I'll eat with anything to be quite honest
Starting point is 00:24:42 you're supposed to have that with beef but carry on I'll have that with anything um but also um also the roasties are the are the kings and things like that. Creamy horseradish sauce, which I'll eat with anything to be quite frank. You're supposed to have that with beef, but carry on. Yeah, I'll have that with anything. But also, also the roasties are the kings. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And then maybe a Yorkshire pudding after that. Everything else can take care of itself, I think. Turkey? I don't like turkey, yes.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Does your mum make turkey? No, she usually goes for like cold cuts, effectively. We have cold cuts and we make it hot by pouring gravy onto it. That's actually dangerous, you know that? It's dangerous. No, it's for cold cuts, effectively. We have cold cuts, and we make it hot by pouring gravy onto it. That's actually dangerous, you know that.
Starting point is 00:25:07 It's dangerous. No, it's like cold cuts. I've got a cold meat. You're supposed to not do that, because if you reheat meat like that, poultry, part way, you can make yourself really sick. Yeah, but you're only putting gravy on it
Starting point is 00:25:18 and then jam it in your mouth. It's not going to be massive. You're not boiling it. I hear it again, I hear it. It's the most wonderful time of the year. I hope she never listens to any of this. Is Christmas going to be good? Out of ten, what's it going to be?
Starting point is 00:25:32 Six? A lot of politics, a lot of food chat. Goodness me. Goodness me. That's a redacted name of chef. Not Marcus Waring. Oh, that's the guy. That's what I was talking name of chef. Not Marcus Waring. That's the person. Yeah, no, that's the guy. Oh, that's the guy.
