About this episode

Wagon wheels, mushy pea hummus and baked bean daal. Move over Rick Stein, there’s new gastronomic broadcasters in town. Yes, food is the order of the day as the delectable George Egg rides into the studio to serve up a delicious Made Up Game for Elis and John.

And the theme doesn’t stop there, for before you can say ‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ there's a longing for Great British puds and the question “why do chippies give you so many chips?”.

In non-edible happenings will Elis continue to fail at connecting until death? That and much more in 50 minutes of digestible content.

To get in touch it’s elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk via electronic mail, or 07974 293 022 on the WhatsApp.
