Welcome to Grubs Up!, the podcast that will explore the history of British dishes from every region of the country including Scotland, Wales, and England. Not many people here in the United Kingdom know the origin of famous dishes they consume daily.
Our job is to break that stigma and introduce many historical facts, conversations with food experts, and live reviews of British dishes that we will be trying for the first time!
So, pull up a chair and grab a napkin cause dinner is about to be served!
