My Motorway-Food-Torture Update

Leaving Yorkshire in the pouring rain for a long drive back to Sussex we listened to Jay Rayner, The Man who Ate the World. What a big mistake, by Doncaster we were licking our lips, by Grantham we were dreaming of marbled steaks (even though we'd left directly after a roast lamb 'dad-made' dinner), by Kettering we'd resorted to Haribo sours, by Stevenage we were eating each others arms. The audio cd is one of the travellers greatest friends, but make it a comedy, a romance, a play, an autobiography....anything but a book about food or you'll be joining the M25 hoping you hit traffic, just so you can hang out the window and indicate to a fellow driver that you'll pay a premium for that last bite of Twix.
