Recorded live at the Fortune Theatre on Sunday 20th November 2022. 

Tis’ that peculiar time between Christmas and New Year when we might find ourselves overindulging and spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Therefore, Susie and Gyles are here to make you feel that little bit more informed about the methods of cooking that have come to create that mince pie you might be eating whilst you get your Purple fix this week. 

We’ll discover what stews, steamed baths and typhoid have in common, why getting the wrong end of the stick is mucky business and why receiving a roasting when you fail to complete your roster of duties is more appropriate than you think.

Susie and Gyles challenge the audience to teach them how to poach an egg and they discover -  thanks to audience member and Purple Person, Professor Hansen - why the loser gets a wooden spoon. 

We love hearing from you, find us @SomethingRhymes on Twitter and Facebook, @SomethingRhymesWith on Instagram or you can email us here: [email protected]

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 

Ferntickle: a freckle (15th century: A freckle on the skin, resembling the seed of fern’)

Bodkin: a small dagger. Mentioned in Chaucer’s, ‘The Reeve’s Tale’

Kickshaw: an elaborate but disappointing meal, from the French ‘quelque chose’.

Gyles reads ‘Don't Worry if Your Job Is Small’ by Anonymous

Don't worry if your job is small,

And your rewards are few.

Remember that the mighty oak,

Was once a nut like you.
