In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, looks at the history of the food that has become so beloved of our Christmas season.

If you want to know why we celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December, where mince pies or Christmas pudding originated, or the gargantuan meals of medieval royalty, then this is the episode for you.

And, if you ever get into an argument about why turkeys bear that name, or if the first American colonists made Christmas illegal, listening to this episode will give you the upper hand.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
