In this episode we’re asking the question avez-vous déjà mangé quelque chose de bizarre ? Have you ever eaten anything strange? We’ll listen to all of the interviews with Pierre-Benoît out and about, while Mark is back in the studio and he’ll help you understand all the responses. Please note all interviews were filmed before lockdown.
