Terry Wiggins started working in the kitchens of the UK Parliament in 1974. Nearly 50 years later, he’s got stories — and recipes — you’ve never heard before.

In this debut episode of Order Order! Terry shares how he landed the job at 16, what it was like serving food through historic moments (like the Falklands War and the Queen's passing), and how one dish — House of Commons Jerk Chicken — became a cult hit with MPs, staffers, and even got its own Twitter account.

Along the way, we unpack the origins of the dish, its unique flavour profile, and how food in Parliament evolved from French classics to global fusion. Plus, a live tasting session — and Terry's secrets for making it at home.
