Rob reads listener Sean's food confession: quality vanilla ice cream with the little vanilla pod flecks in it, eaten on cold garlic bread (the supermarket French stick variety, cooked and then cooled). Josh initially assumes this is a pregnant woman until Rob confirms it's a man — 'the kind of sick shit a man would do.' The debate over whether it's conceptually disgusting or unexpectedly workable concludes that Heston Blumenthal could theoretically serve it for £20. Listener Veronica then shares that after her 3-year-old caught her squirting cream directly into her mouth from the fridge, the child now requests 'just some mouth cream' as a legitimate snack option, listing it alongside jelly and yoghurt. Tom from Congleton offers the episode's most unfiltered confession: eating a whole trifle 'like a big yoghurt', and using a white chocolate cookie as an edible spoon for Milkybar yoghurt, signing off as an 'overweight consumer of the electric spinach' — the meaning of which is never fully clarified.
