In the debut episode of Since When…?, I take aim at a cultural mystery that’s been staring at us from every breakfast plate in Britain the humble, joyless hash brown.

What began as an American diner side has somehow infiltrated the sacred full English breakfast, replacing fried bread, bubble and squeak, and even dignity. Warren dives deep into how it happened tracing its rise from 19th-century New York to 1990s hotel buffets and explores what this beige invasion says about globalisation, class, and the slow homogenisation of British culture.

Expect humour, history, and a little existential grease.
