Alright as a back up at the end of the day when you’ve got nothing else to listen to.

Acaster and the man who discovered you can get diabetes from a river have a great thing going. Really interesting and fun dialogue and they seem like they have fun doing it. I love the lost in translation episode with JM!

Good show.

Gamble and Fennel are brilliant comedy tandem, and the premise, while intensely strange, provokes some hilarious conversation. Best episodes are Sindhu Vee, Nish Kumar and Aisling Bea.

Everything about this podcast from the Genie Waiter to Ed's Diabetic Super Powers he gained from falling in the Thames invoke a sense of wonder, delight and genuine passion for good food. I can't wait for future guests and another Ed Dommett/Beans n Chips or Victoria Coren Mitchell/Ploughman's debacle as there is nothing funnier than James and Ed getting angry.

Started listening for Victoria Coren-Mitchell, stayed for the format and the hosts of the podcast. It’s very well organized, and I’ve found out about so many new dishes from multiple cultures. Thank you guys!

A spectacularly funny podcast hosted by two off-the-wall funny comedians. Nice to hear normal foodies talk passionately about their favourite foods and brilliant banter inbetween.

Very enjoyable podcast, I wish Ed was more open about his underlying health issues around sugar intake. Not sure what’s going on there as he’s keeping something to himself, I have an inkling he might have type 1 diabetes.

This weeks episode with Sian Clifford had me grinning like an idiot while walking to work. I’ll never think about picnics the same

Funny hosts. Clever idea. And lots of jokes that make these interesting interviews even better.

I make wedding cakes for a living and this podcast has been doing an absolutely excellent job of keeping me thoroughly entertained whilst baking!

Started listening to this even though I only vaguely knew who the hosts were, and barely any of the guests (I’m not British)... I expected it to be a mildly amusing food podcast, but did NOT expect to bust a gut laughing every single episode. I’ve since gone and sought out their comedy performances, which I suppose is probably backwards. My lone complaint is that it always makes me hungry.

Really enjoy this podcast. James (the genie) and Ed really bounce well of each other and you get some real insightful things coming from the guests through opening up about food. Highly recommend.

Loved it

Love it, love it, love it! Bonkers. Has me in stitches. And some food.

Been waiting desperately for the return of Ed and James and as always they don’t disappoint!

Yum yum yum, thank you Ed and Fennel.

I absolutely love this podcast and look forward to listening it on the bus to work... but the audio is so uneven that I usually have to give up and listen at home. The audio is terrible through headphones as some parts are too quiet to hear with background noise, so must be turned up but then there will be laughter or another person speaking too loud causing me to turn it down. Please when editing regulate the sound!! (I am not talking about James’ outbursts, which should be loud, but the speaking level)

It’s so simple that it’s actually brilliant. I now have a strange fascination I never knew existed.

Hi - just like to say how much I am lovin ‘off menu’. Great idea for a show - very funny! Any thoughts of doing a TV version?

Despite this food podcast being co-hosted by someone unfamiliar with some reasonably basic food concepts (tapenade, raita, Kerrygold), it’s very enjoyable. Or maybe that’s actually partly why it’s good. I mean I did have an idea for a football podcast where my fiancée and other people who don’t care about or have knowledge of football have to talk about football news and affairs so maybe I should be more sympathetic. Anyway, 5 stars - one for each minute the Aisling Bea / Titanic joke kept me laughing for.

Love all their podcasts but especially the Christmas one with Nish and the Dara o Brian one . I am a fan of mock the week so I know all of the characters but having said that I loved the episode with Susie Ruffle & Rose McGowan. I haven’t listened to them all yet but I certainly will. Love the fact that I learned some personal facts like that Nish and the 2 lads lived together for a while ! I’m a 60 year old granny by the way and I love to listen to these podcasts while cooking . Tried to get tickets to see James in either Galway , Dublin or Belfast or anywhere but guess what ???? He’s sold out for the next year. That’s saying something . Well done lads , ye are all fantastic .

"Ask the squirrels" has to be one of the quickest and quietest callbacks in recent comedy history.

I love this podcast but it makes me so hungry. Currently waiting for a portion of chipper chips following Dara O’Bs episode and it’s from a Macari in Dublin, one of the many Italian chip shops that he mentioned!
