BBC Radio 4 - The Kitchen Cabinet, Series 42, Wigan

Jay Rayner and his panel of culinary experts answer questions from Wigan.

Joining Jay are food writers Nisha Katona, Sophie Wright, food historian Dr Annie Gray, and chef Rob Owen Brown.

The panel discusses a variety of culinary dilemmas, from when to use white or black pepper to what to do with creamed artichokes. The panellists also discuss their favourite food misnomers, and the all important question - what makes a pie a pie?

Jay chats to Bakery Manager Eric Scrivens of Galloways Bakers about why Wigan residents are self proclaimed “Pie Eaters”. He also invites the managing director of Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls, John Winnard MBE, to discuss the popularity of mint sweets around the world.
