I don’t mean to alarm you, but December has landed. The countdown to Christmas is officially underway. And by the time this weekend’s podcast and newsletter is out, it’s already lunchtime.
Coming at the end of a week dominated by Black Friday sales (that started a week ago) and a general election (that I’m in the throws of from a broadcast point of view), this is the 48th edition of Food In 5 Minutes, the part of the Ken On Food podcast that brings you five food stories from the Irish food scene and beyond in roughly five minutes-ish. I try.
