Chapter 5: What does Ayoade consider her dream meal?
It was suggested to us by a member of the audience at one of our live Palladium shows. Yeah. And I don't think it went down very well on the night either. People love Biscoff, but what we do all agree on is it's insidious. It's everywhere. Yeah.
absolutely everywhere the market is oversaturated with Biscoff yes Biscoff in everything yeah Biscoff in absolutely everything Biscoff ice cream Biscoff spread brownies Biscoff brownies Biscoff sun cream I wasn't even aware it was a biscuit for ages yeah Lotus biscuits. The lotus biscuits. People love them.
But, you know, also a lot of people have had enough of them and don't want Biscoff being in absolutely everything.

Yeah.

Chapter 6: How does Ayoade define her relationship with food?
So I think it's a fair enough secret ingredient. Yeah. But because it's in everything, it's a bit of a risky one. Yeah, it is. It could backfire. It could happen. It could happen in the starter. Yes. Who knows? What? You never know, man. It's in everything these days.
Don't forget, this is out on YouTube tomorrow. If you're listening to this on the day it comes out, it will be available to watch in full on the YouTube tomorrow. And you can see all the times that James is definitely going to point at his own butt.

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes does Ayoade share about her experiences in restaurants?
Yeah, first time ever someone's wanted him to do it again. I really spat that second time.
Yeah, because I wasn't expecting the volume.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because there was a spectrum of volumes there that shocked me and excited me.
I went in quite normal, and then James really beefed it, didn't he?
Yeah, also normal, I guess.
Yeah, also normal for him, I suppose.
That was sort of passive-aggressive in a way that I enjoyed as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do passive-aggression quite well, I think.
