It's December, Advent has begun, and we can officially start discussing Christmas so I have put together an episode about turkey that is very much of two halves. There's an interview with Tom Copas, a turkey farmer who really looks after his flock: slow-grown, high welfare, and I have bought many a turkey from him over the years. Before that, I have prepared a little bit on the history of the turkey in Britain, spanning from Tudor times to the 20th century where it went from regal food to Christmas Day staple. Tom and I talked about farming family history, the intricacies of turkey farming, when the term ‘free-range' is misleading, cooking tips and turkey crackling: amongst many other things.If you can, support the podcast and blogs by becoming a £3 monthly subscriber, and unlock lots of premium content, or treat me to a one-off virtual pint or coffee: click here.Order your Christmas turkey from the Copas Farm shopFind Copas Turkeys on social media: Twitter/X @CopasTurkeys; Insta: @copasfarmshop or @tomcopasPodcast episodes pertinent to today's episode:Christmas Feasting with Annie GrayTudor Cooking & Cuisine with Brigitte WebsterTurkey history references:At Christmas We Feast: Festive Food Through the Ages (2021) Annie GrayEating with the Tudors: Food and Recipes (2023) Brigitte WebsterThe Good Housewife's Jewel (1596) Thomas DawsonThe Compleat Cook (1662) W.

This episode is filled with so much heart and wisdom. Amanda Ball discovered they were a system later in life and that discovery turned everything upside down. Amanda shares her story of how she discovered she was a system We dive into an authentic conversation that covers topics from loss, deep grief, and real stigma to aphantasia, preventing switching, relationships and much more. We recognize that not everyone can access therapy and even those who can are often on long waitlists. We discussed many accessible resources for healing that can be found free online. You can find Amanda on Instagram. See below for their full bio!Resources:The Dissociative Disorders AllianceAn Infinite MindBeauty After BruisesTheresa https://www.dis-sos.com/about-us/Carolyn SpringThe CTAD Clinic WebsiteDr Mike LloydCTAD Clinic YouTube ChannelAdrienne & Co (Formerly Known as Dr. Adrian Fletcher)Dr Arielle SchwartzBIO: Amanda Ball (She/He/They) lives with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and collectively she and other selves are known as the ETERNITY System. Amanda had a long career and held senior posts in the Food, Drink and Agricultural industry, mainly in Strategy, Planning, Training, Marketing and Communication roles and continue to champion British Food. Whilst no longer able to pursue a career, they continue to use their skills through mentoring and volunteering work and are a future trustee of a soon to be registered charity, ‘The Dissociative Disorders Alliance'. Their professional values are ‘Focus, Clarity, Direction'.They strive to make the complexities of living with DID accessible to others, by sharing everyday experiences through advocacy work. Notable highlights to date include planning and executing the launch of ‘The Girls Within' a book written by debut author and retired therapist Gill Frost. The book launch provided a springboard for a live Webinar, ‘Dissociative Identity Disorder, The Hidden Condition' and a follow up Webcast ‘Demystifying Dissociative Identity Disorder'. The recordings, hosted on Karnac Books YouTube channel, have had over 16K views to date.They also undertake public speaking and media work and have appeared as guests on BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine Show as well as other BBC regional stations, sharing their lived experience of DID.With their symptoms and subsequent diagnosis being relatively recently (2016), life and their identity until then was focused almost entirely on work. As a result, they are still finding their way when it comes to rest and play, however their determination and curiosity gained through work and life experience, are proving helpful characteristics in their journey through therapy.Running has become an essential part of everyday life in the Cotswolds, not just through the exercise itself but by providing social connections being a member of a local club. They have also started to keep a growing collection of house plants alive! This is a public episode.

Today I am talking to Eleanor Barnett about the history of food waste and preservation.Eleanor has written a fantastic book about the history of how we as a society have (and sometimes have not) dealt with eliminating waste and preserving precious food resources. It is called Leftovers: A History of Food Waste & Preservation, and it is out now published by Bloomsbury.We talk about the fabulously wasteful food of 17th century cook Robert May, whose responsibility it was to preserve food in the home (hint: not the man of the house), pies as preservation method, the food waste used in agriculture and industry, food preservation in wartime, and Hannah Glasse's dubious method for preserving very rank potted birds, plus many other things – we fit a lot into today's episode.

On this week's menu: we're debating the UK versus the world when it comes to defending their cuisine. And with us are our friends from across the pond, Barry Taylor and Jamie Spafford of Sorted Food! We've heard the roasting online about beige this and beige that. But on the other hand we have culinary icons such as Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver hailing from the British isles themselves. We even have the wholesome and very British program “The Greatest British Bake-Off” which shows off the Brits' love of bread and pastry. So let's get down to it and take note of the UK's impact on food - for better or for worse.Watching the full video episodes on YouTube.

Gavin Rossdale, frontman for the grunge band Bush (anyone else have his photo on your wall in 1994??), loves to whip up big meals for friends and family in his L.A. home, but it's nostalgic dishes from his British childhood that make his heart sing. Gavin grew up in England, eating traditional Sunday roast dinners. So host Rachel Belle chats with British food historian Dr. Neil Buttery about Britain's favorite meal: How do you get the crispiest potatoes? What is Yorkshire pudding? We cover it all! And Gavin reveals which non-edible items you can find in his huge walk-in wine refrigerator.

Patti Fitzpatrick loves taking time to relax, especially when it comes time to spend with friends, which is exactly how she came to own The Talking Teacup in Chalfont, PA. Her love of tea and friendship built over time, with former owner Kathy Heck. Kathy and Patti's friendship grew, and soon Patti was doing what she loved alongside her friend. Unfortunately, Kathy was diagnosed with a form of cancer and passed away--however her husband maintained the property of The Talking Teacup, so in 2021 Patti was inspired to re-open her beloved place to sit, relax, and build strong connections with friends. Now, Patti owns and operates The Talking Teacup, offering seasonal menus, high tea experiences, and a place to enjoy a nice pot of tea.The Rallo family has been in the culinary industry for multiple generations, and we sat down with Jake Rallo, who is the Manager of the Pasta Program at Birravino, located in Red Bank, NJ.

Neil's guest is Diane Purkiss and they talk about just some of the topics covered in her book English Food a People's History published by William Collins. Diane is Professor of English Literature at Oxford University, and she has written about such topics as the English Civil War, the supernatural, especially witchcraft; folklore and fairytales; writer's block and of course food and food history.They had a rather meandering conversation that covered: bread, and its poor reputation compared to that bake in France; coffeehouses and politics, and coffeehouses as early examples of gay bars; tea and Empire; and foraging – the latter being particularly tricky to get at.£3 subscribers can hear the full interview with Diane on the Easter Eggs page of the website: http://britishfoodhistory.com/easter-eggs/Diane's book English Food: a People's History available here: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/english-food-a-peoples-history-diane-purkiss?variant=39825973411918Neil's blog post about dock pudding (with recipe): http://britishfoodhistory.com/2023/05/26/dock-pudding/Other bits:The Elizabeth Raffald Manchester Central Library event at 6pm on 13 September: https://librarylive.co.uk/event/elizabeth-raffald-englands-most-influential-housekeeper/Neil will be speaking at the Ludlow Food Festival on Sunday 10 September at 2.30pm, talking all things Elizabeth Raffald: https://www.ludlowfoodfestival.co.uk/He is also talking at Chelsea History Festival on Friday 29 September 2023, at 6pm about the history of sugar: https://chelseahistoryfestival.com/events/dark-history-sugar/Neil's blogs:‘British Food: a History' http://britishfoodhistory.com ‘Neil Cooks Grigson' http://neilcooksgrigson.com Order Before Mrs Beeton: Elizabeth Raffald, England's Most Influential Housekeeper at your favourite bookshop, or from the publisher Pen & Sword History: www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Before-Mrs-Beeton-Hardback/p/22437Neil's other book A Dark History of Sugar is available now from all bookshops as well as from the publisher Pen & Sword: https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/A-Dark-History-of-Sugar-Hardback/p/20481Don't forget the upcoming postbag episode, if you have any questions or queries about today's episode, or indeed any episode, or have a question about the history of British food please email Neil at neil@britishfoodhistory.com, or find me on twitter @neilbuttery, or Instagram and Threads dr_neil_buttery my DMs are open.

Neil talks to returning guest Kevin Geddes. He told us all about the wonderful, fabulous Fanny Cradock, but today he is talking to me about Television Cookery Shows and their cookbook tie-ins. Kevin wrote a very interesting paper on the early history and origins of TV Cookbooks, and Neil found it so interesting, and he thought you would find it interesting too.We talked about the early cooking programmes on the BBC before the war, and afterwards; the post-war TV cooks the theatrical Philip Harben and the steady pair of hands Marguerite Patten and how they published their own books whilst working for the BBC; the BBC's worry about selling commercial products whilst being a public service broadcaster; and the one who really got it all going Mrs Fanny Cradock.

Bear Grylls is a survivalist, adventurist & host of soooo mannny TV shows, including the wildly popular Man VS Wild, Born Survivor and the new season of Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge, where celebs like Russell Brand and Bradley Cooper tag along on his extremely wild adventures. Bear tells host Rachel Belle about the nastiest foods he's eaten in the wild, why he no longer eats vegetables & what happened when he offered the president of Ukraine a bite of his chocolate bar. And we venture into territory we never imagined venturing into: drinking your own pee! Plus, if if you watch all the survivalist shows and dream of being dropped in the middle of no where with nothing but the clothes on your back – you can pay to have that experience!

Host Peter J Kim takes a trip to the United Kingdom to explore puddings, PFCs, and the mysterious saveloy dip. Food Network host Mary McCartney invites us into her home to talk about the importance of Sunday roasts, and food and music memories with her father Paul McCartney. Jonathan Nunn, the founder of Vittles, guides us through the most important food on the streets of London—and it's not fish and chips. Through it all, listen to music by British rapper, Hyphen, who accurately describes his style as "sexy lounge rap." Our next episode is coming out in just a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, check out Counterjam on Spotify for Peter's playlist of the wonderful musicians from this and past seasons.
