Tim Hayward presents a special food quiz edition recorded at the Abergavenny Food Festival

Tim Hayward presents a special food quiz recorded at the Abergavenny Food Festival. Panellists include chef Allegra McEvady, food writer Richard Johnson and comedian Chris Neill.

Nowhere else will you find a programme that juggles Elvis Presley's culinary history, questions over the origins of a 1970's crisp brand, references to Elizabeth David and some of the world's most unusual food sounds. 

Food writer Tim Hayward performs this feat in a special Christmas Day edition of The Food Quiz. Panellists Allegra McEvady, Richard Johnson and Chris Neill pit their gastronomic knowledge, grasp of food trivia and culinary history against each other. 

Categories include the devious "Into the Museum of Brands", a cult cookbook round as well as "What's Cookin'?" in which the teams have to identify a classic dish from the archives.

Producer: Dan Saladino.
