The European Compass : A Food & Travel Podcast

The English pub is one of themost misunderstood places in European travel. Most visitors walk past. Some walk in and wait forty-five minutes for service that was never coming. A few find their way to the bar and discover one of the best-value meals on thecontinent.

In this episode, Julia, an Englishwoman who grew up with Sunday lunches and now misses them from France,takes the listener through everything they need to know: how the pub works, how to find a good one, and why the Sunday roast is a cultural ritual that goes far deeper than a plate of food.

Covering the history of pub food from the basket meals of the 1980s to the gastropub revolution, and the full anatomy of a Sunday lunch, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, and all thecustard, this is the episode to listen to before your next trip to England.
