The Great British Food Fight: Recent Episodes
Jennifer
An improvised comedy podcast where we explore the plight of the long and suffering foodstuffs of the United Kingdom.The Great British Food Fight allows regional dishes to air their grievances and fight dirty to champion their region and progress to become Britain’s best dish. The podcast is improvised, and all conversations are entirely made up. The improvisers may have influenced their characters with historical knowledge and local references pertaining to the food itself, but the podcast is completely made up. Let Timothy Fork guide you on this culinary trip around the British Isles.
The final is here. Janet the Dundee Cake vs Betty the Lancashire Hotpot. A sweet Celtic treat pitted against the sturdy backbone of English nutrition.
How can either of these perfect candidates win? It's all hanging on a knife's edge until the very end.

The home counties and surrounding regions send in their best. Rossi's Ice-cream, DJ Watercress, Hilda Huffkin the hard nut and The Reverend (a rather nice slice of dirty vicar cheese) have a bit of a rumble for the top spot.
Things quite get physical along the way, leaving the judges with a moral quandary on their hands.
