Jay Rayner and his culinary panel are at the National Space Centre in Leicester. Professor Barry Smith, Nisha Katona, Andi Oliver and Tim Anderson answer the audience questions.

The panellists sample the delights of space food, tucking into the same tins of Truffled Beef Stew and Bacon Sarnies that astronauts dine on amongst the stars.

Dan Kendall, the Space Centre's Curator, brings some food stuffs from the very first manned space visits, including some snacks that made it back half-eaten from Apollo 16.

The panel also delves into the culinary landscape of Leicester as they offer up practical advice on spicy dishes and chomp their way through a lot of weird and wonderful crisp flavours.
