Chapter 1: What inspired Nish Kumar's new tour, 'Angry Humour From A Really Nice Guy'?
Thank you.
Hello and welcome to Table Manners. I'm Jessie Ware and I'm here in my kitchen with my mother. Hi mum. Hi darling. That's a different lip that you've got on. It's my hourglass red. I like it. Do you? How are you mum? I'm okay darling. I'm pretty tired. I bet you are. Because we have been going around the UK promoting my album. And selling thousands and thousands of copies.
How many thousands of copies did you sell? We did over 18,000, which I'm really proud of. So thank you to everyone who bought it. Wow, is that the most you've ever sold in one week? Yes, it is. Wow, darling. So it's an amazing achievement. I'm very, very proud. But I'm also a bit tired. Are you platinum yet? No, I think it takes a while to be platinum. Okay, darling.
But I am a bit tired, so I have to explain. I was at a record store yesterday till about 10 o'clock at night. So I have called in help today. And please forgive me. I did exec the choices. Yeah. But my sweet Rosie has helped me today. Because I'll never lie to you, Table Manners. I'll never lie. But we've done... We. She has. A mob kitchen...
recipe from their cookbook comfort mob and it's a baked sea bass that's got lemongrass in there it's beautiful you put crispy onions on the top limes um ginger
and like a chili sauce on the side and then we're going to do it with coconut rice and then a lovely easter bell fridge which i've done before this kind of maple lime sesame seed um salad so it's all quite fresh because it's gorgeous week it's been really nice weather and you've made pudding yeah i remembered this week great i've made a chocolate coconut cake oh wow
and that goes well with this yeah I think so I love coconut I thought I had two big packs of desiccated coconut I hadn't so I had to buy more but I bought shredded coconut which I've toasted and put on the top of it I hope it's nice recipe is it it was a Sainsbury's recipe and it's they said it's like eating a cake and a bounty bar all in one I hope he likes bounty bounties are very divisive I
I think if he comes from Kerala, Coconut will be something he likes. I think he's from Croydon. I know, but his parents are from Kerala. Right, we have Nish Kumar coming on, who is a kind of brilliant comedian, satirist. Political commentator. You know, you may know him from The Daily Mash or Pod Save the UK. I've been desperate to meet him. You've really wanted Nish for a long time.
Wow, for ages, yeah. He also presented the news quiz a bit. He's on the news quiz, which I have great affection for. I feel like my brain cells are just not going to be able to keep up with you two today. I think he's going to be very stimulating and he'll stimulate other bits of your brain that aren't to do with music. He's also got very beautiful eyes. He's got good hair.

Is that a Carolyn name? So your family are from Carolyn?
That's a...
Yes. My brother used to live there.
Whereabouts?
Between Chengannur and Trivandrum. Really? It was called Malakari. He lived on an ashram for 27 years. Oh my God, really? Yeah. Wow, that's cool. Yeah, he was kind of cool, kind of strange, yeah. Jewish boy living on an ashram for 27 years with a guru, yeah. I think there were a lot of people. When did he go out? It was probably in the early 70s. Early 70s, yeah.
He got enchanted by a guru who used to give talks in America, and he was living in America, and he just went there and lived there.
My family's from Kerala, but... Which bit? Well, they're from Palgat and Kannanur. So two different places my mum and dad are from. And they... But the name is quite a North Indian name.
Oh, yeah, it is.
Yeah, Sanskrit. So Malayalam... Kerala has... The sort of dominant language in Kerala is Malayalam. Yeah. And that language actually derives from Tamil. So India has two root languages, Sanskrit and Tamil. And so... Sanskrit really has not much to do with Tamil. I think they just heard the name and liked it. My brother's name's Nathan. So my brother has a Jewish name. Oh, why?

Chapter 3: What are the best places to find Indian food in London?
And Ash does call me that. Yeah, I went to see her tour show on Wednesday.
I'm so annoyed I missed it. She's done so well. She's amazing.
It was such a great show. Also, her opening act was Amy Annette, who is my... common law wife. Oh. And so we're very, Aisling and I are very enmeshed in each other's lives.
How did you two meet?
We met doing stand-up. So we met at an open mic gig about, I think probably in about 2010. And then Amy actually briefly worked for an agent, a comedy agent, before she did comedy. And the comedy agent represented Aisling. So the three of us have known each other for I mean, well over a decade.
Amy's your girlfriend? Yes. Right. The Canadian?
Mum's Canadian, Dad's American.
Got it.
She sounds like Mary Poppins.

And it was a longanisa.
You rolled that dice as well? Yeah. Okay. Was it recommended?
I was with my...
You were there to gamble.
Amy's brother.
Okay, why? What does Amy's brother do? He was living there. Okay, fine.
And so he had been there. So he took us to this place. And it's like a kind of Mexican chorizo. Like it's a spicy sausage. And they just cook it as whole sausages. And then he just chopped up a bit of it on this kind of wooden cutting board. And then he kind of, he basically turned it into mince. He diced it in front of us. Put it in the taco. Unreal hot sauce. Do you remember what it was called?
It's called Longanisa.
I'm adding it to my Mexico City Google map.
