In the fourth episode of Mead & Cheese we are joined by Megan the mead drinker. We are also wishing all of our fans a 'Happy New Mead' and a good start to 2022. For Veganuary we are trying out vegan cheese and discuss whether vegan mead is possible. We also debate who would win in a fight, Dick and Dom or Ant and Dec?
For the third episode of Mead & Cheese, and the final episode of 2021, we are joined by new guests Anna from The Voice of Poles and Thomas Dye. We discuss mixed mead drinks and try new flavours of mead and cheese, but we actually don't because we aren't allowed to eat and drink in the studio ;)
