Season 10 Episode 1

How has the Coronavirus affected the food world?

The Coronavirus is at the centre of everything right now. We’re all currently living in a very strange world and we’re seeing more and more restrictions as the days go by. Especially with food. From no eggs on the shelves to panic buying freezers, and a 2m social distance from other shoppers when you go on your weekly shop. It really is a global crisis. Today, we chat about how the virus is affecting the food world. We take a look at the creative things people and businesses are doing in food and explore what we think the future might hold for it. What are your local food experiences during this time? How have your local food businesses adapted to this situation and what amazing things are they doing? Comment below and get chatting.

Best soundbite:”In a positive spin, that probably meant your lack of smell meant you enjoyed your food even more!” – Mike Huttlestone
