We have two guests this week, Food critic - and Queen Camilla’s son - Tom Parker-Bowles, and his podcast co-host and wine expert, Henry Jeffreys. Their new podcast ‘Intoxicating History’ delves into the origins of all types of alcohol, and Henry dug out a few bottles of wine from my wine cupboard to pair with our meal! We chatted about growing up with a future Queen and what Camilla would cook for Tom (scrambled eggs is her speciality), their shared love of Thai & Mexican food, the pleasure of a Big Mac, how they found each other to put together a podcast, and we can all agree that a long lunch really is one of life’s best joys! This was the ultimate food and wine episode. Intoxicating History is out now and available to stream on all the usual podcast platforms. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
