Ben Clark
Oct 3, 202300:39:34Tap to summarizeMuch to Tom's satisfaction, our latest guest gets down and dirty with some fried chicken, as comedian Ben Clark orders a 'three piece' and fries from the wonderfully named Favourable Chicken. Ben is one third of the award winning sketch group, Pappy's, who also have a range of podcasts under the banner of Pappy's Flatshare. Ben was great company, reflecting upon his time as a McDonald's employee, being sacked from a pizza parlour for mistaking mixed herbs for garlic and ordering sushi in Hastings which turned up in London.

Aug 16, 202300:42:59Tap to summarizeEver met anyone who hates plates? No? Well look no further than Esther Manito, who has a pathological loathing of them - choosing instead to eat everything out of a bowl. In this instance, a takeaway from her favourite Indian restaurant, Mohabir in South Woodford. She, Tom and Cim also make a desperate plea for a block of free paneer each.Thanks for listening.

Transcribe →Jake Lambert
Aug 11, 202300:44:51Tap to summarizeSomeone likes nuggets (and tea), and that person is the wonderful comedian, Jake Lambert. Jake's obsession with those battered balls of chickeny goodness is, to say the least, extraordinary, as are his breakfast habits, which have in the past seen him combine 4 different types of cereal and a rusk. Jake ordered from Neat Burger, though as has become the way on this podcast, his food did not arrive on time ...Please rate, review and subscribe.Email: HELLO@MYFAVOURITETAKEAWAYPODCAST.COMTwitter: @FavtakeawaypodInstagram: myfavouritetakeawaypodcast Hosted on Acast.
