At Save Or Die we relish all of our emails so we regret that we have not mustard a response in so much thyme. We want to be peppered with questions and a-salt-ed with queries and you don’t ever have to butter us up. We mayo have had too much fun writing this episode summary but lettuce know if these food puns are your jam.
