341: Food special: George Egg on cheese, family and festivals

Our guest for this episode is the hilarious comedian, cook and author George Egg! He shares some of his best recipes, including the chicken dish Ellie makes every week. We discuss George's favourite comfort food and argue about the best way to make cheese on toast.

As usual we go off on a variety of tangents, including grandparenthood, skiffle, chutney, and being locked in the freezer at McDonald's birthday parties in the eighties. Plus we share our top foodie hacks for surviving festivals. 

As always we end with Scummy Mummy Confessions - Ellie's urinal gourd, George's school fete face painting fiasco, and why Helen can never go back to that petrol station in Ulverston.

This episode is fuelled by delicious and bold flavour flipping snacks, thanks to Pilgrims Choice. #AD
