From the makers of the celebrated BBC2 panel show QI and its hit spin-off podcast No Such Thing As A Fishcomes comes a new podcast, Lunchbox Envy, to add a dollop of bizarre and unusual facts to every meal.

Launching today (February 24th) with two episodes, Lunchbox Envy sees QI Elves Manu Henriot (an ex chef) and Jack Chambers (a gastronome) gather around the table with chef & food writer Rosie MacKean to unpeel the culinary world, one ingredient at a time.

Packed with surprising food facts and bizarre culinary traditions, the Lunchbox Envy podcast answers the questions listeners never knew they had – like what happens when nuclear submarines run out of sausages, where in the world you can find blue bananas, and which country hosts an international testicle-cooking competition.

John Lloyd, Founder and Executive Producer of QI, commented: Lunching with the Elves is a unique experience because they’re as interested in talking about their food as eating it. Finding out that the tip of asparagus is called a ‘squib’, or that scientists have patented a new type of seaweed that tastes like bacon, is what makes Manu, Jack and Rosie the perfect bread-fellows (the literal translation of the word ‘companions’)”.

Lunchbox Envy is hosted by Audioboom and is available on all major podcast platforms.
