Rob and Sam talk about the recipe translators, who help to make the recipes of famous chefs accessible across barriers of language, culture and cuisine - and they teach you some useful vocabulary along the way.
This week's question:
It may be true that British cooking is better than it used to be, but there’s still some pretty bad food out there. So, according to a 2019 YouGov survey, which UK food was voted the worst?
a) steak and kidney pies
b) scotch eggs
c) haggis
Listen to the programme to find out the answer.
